Jones was referring to one moment--when Trump paid tribute to a dead American serviceman--and not the whole speech. Americans always get very emotional over that stuff as well they should. But I suspect if he had produced a kitten out of his jacket pocket, he would also have drawn a standing ovation--and over-the-top praise from some members of the press.

Jones did acknowledge toward the end of his comments that "becoming president" or "being presidential" does not really happen in an instant. He said something to the effect that, if Trump can repeat this consistently over the next four years, he will be a two-term president. Personally, I think only a fool can believe Trump has the discipline to maintain this for 4 years. I fully expect he will be back to his regular antics shortly.
