Over the nine months of his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has yet to step to a podium and read from a script. That changes Monday, when he is set to address more than 18,000 people attending the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington.
He’s also looking to surprise the crowd with something else: substance.
“He has taken input from a number of very significant Jєωιѕн influences who have reaffirmed to him the importance of this particular speech,” according to a source close to Trump’s campaign. “He is taking it very seriously.”
As he closes in on the Republican nomination, the unconventional and controversial candidate is taking steps to address concerns about his seriousness and whether he has the policy chops and intellectual curiosity to be commander in chief.

The speech, prepared over the last week and finalized last week, will “outline his depth of knowledge about the U.S.-Israel relationship and his 30 years of supporting Israeli causes,” the source continued.
