<p><strong>As President Trump's motorcade</strong> arrived back at the Whit= House at 10:50 p.m. after his Capitol speech, he invited a dozen gleeful =ides up to the residence for a celebration. Over Diet Cokes, they relished=the reviews that were popping on their iPhones, shouting out the latest po=l or pundit to go their way.</p><p><strong>The inner circle</strong> knew =hat the accolades would be short-lived \u2014 Trump was in a new mode, =ot a new man. A top adviser said: "The question for me is: Is this a harbi=ger, or a one-off?"</p><p><strong>Another Trump adviser</strong> was hopef=l that this supremely image-conscious man would catch the bug: "For the fi=st time, he saw something that he had never seen: People from the entire strum saying, 'That's amazing.' That's an experience he's never had befor=."</p><p><strong>Several insiders</strong> credited the speech's tone to t=e involvement of a wider range of aides. "The Stephens" (Bannon and Miller= remained top wordsmiths, joined this time by a bigger circle that include= Vice President Pence, Ivanka and Jared Kushner, Gary Cohn, Dina Powell an= Hope Hicks.</p><p><strong>Miller's first draft </strong>followed Trump's =nstruction to be uplifting. Later iterations got darker, then the final ve=sion came back to the light. "We got to the point where the grownups in th= room no longer paid attention to command and control, and got involved fo= the sake of the country and the president," one aide said. </p><p><strong=The staff's post-speech euphoria </strong>drove the decision to put off un=eiling the new executive order on migrant travel, which was penciled in fo= yesterday, but now is expected early next week. There also were some twea=s needed, with the stakes so high for getting it right this time. <br></p>=p><strong>"For once, </strong>we had the wind at our sails," a top aide sa=d. "We decided not to sh*t on ourselves."</p><p><br></p>
