So, according to the WA Post, he'll be pivoting away from any attempt at normalcy.
There's too much in this article to do it justice with an excerpt. I suggest you read the whole thing.

Trump plans to re-double his focus on holding big rallies and doing lots of TV hits. Hell also more aggressively attack Hillary Clinton, to the extent thats possible, and hell re-embrace his role as an outsider, making less of an effort to be nice to GOP greybeards.
During the primaries, when Trump was winning, then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski always said "let Trump be Trump." He now wants to get back to that type of campaign culture. The moves send a signal, perhaps more clear than ever, that the real-estate mogul intends to finish this race on his own terms, with friends who share his instincts at his side, Costa writes.
-- This is another proof point that Trump is not trying to run the kind of serious campaign that can actually win the presidency. Thats why it will frighten the GOP establishment, scare off some mainstream donors who have been playing footsie with the billionaire and push congressional leaders like Mitch McConnell a little closer to cutting Trump loose maybe even before Labor Day. (Bannons site single-mindedly went after Paul Ryan in the run-up to his primary.)
-- Both of the newly-elevated advisers are conservative populists who will never discourage Trump from following his id. Its hard for a 70-year-old man to change his ways, especially this one. Donalds id demands instant gratification more than most peoples, and hes long struggled to control his impulsiveness.
