ANALYSIS: A Fiery Trump Returns to Rally Supporters

It's been almost a month since the campaign ended, but last night showed yet again for Donald Trump nothing has changed and more importantly, he has not changed.

In Cincinnati, during his first rally on his "thank you" tour, the president-elect brought back his brawling campaign style.

He promised the crowd he would discuss his "action plan to make America great again," but he glossed over it during the speech. Instead, he reminded his supporters of all the "fun fighting" Hillary Clinton they had.

He went after Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the GOP leaders who didn't support him, and even hit one of his favorite campaign targets, calling the press "dishonest" and eliciting boos from his supporters. Of course, there were those "Lock her up!" chants as well, and even a recounting of election night in detail.

"We won Wisconsin, and we won Michigan, and we won Pennsylvania," Trump told the raucous crowd. "And that person was saying for months that there is no way that Donald Trump can break the blue wall. Right? We didn't break it. We shattered that sucker. We shattered it. We shattered it. Man. That poor wall is busted up. So I'll never forget it though because it felt so good."

He promised to "bring our country together, all of our country," but seemed still completely in battle mode.

In his victory speech in the wee hours of Nov. 9 and when meeting side by side with President Obama days later, we saw a different Donald Trump. He seemed humbled by the surprise victory and took a different tone many called "presidential."

However, last night he showed the country yet again that he's willing to present himself to his most ardent supporters and the rest of the country in the free-wheeling, red meat-tossing, establishment-fighting way that galvanized his base, despite appearing to moderate that stance at times since Nov. 8.

There likely won't be a different Donald Trump, even if he shows that different Trump side once again.

The president-elect has an agenda he wants to accomplish and those workers yesterday at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis were ecstatic he already completed what appears to be a successful promise to them, but one of his goals has to be bringing together a divided nation.

Some 2.47 million emails at last count voted for Clinton than Trump -- who won the Electoral College -- but he is now their president too. He even said last night "I've always brought people together," adding "I know you find that hard to believe." But the tone and same aggressive attack lines signaled anything but that to a nation struggling to heal after one of the most negative and divisive campaigns in history.

During that campaign, Hillary Clinton liked to recite a phrase from Maya Angelou: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them."

This is who Donald Trump is and he showed the country who he is and what he believes in through his style last night and every day on the campaign trail. That's not changing, but how he brings the country together with his feet firmly still in campaign mode, is what he and his team have to figure out going forward.

The country will demand it and it's going to take more than a teleprompter.
