"The president in the last few weeks is back to his old self."

In a short while he would be back to his old self again.

Within a couple minutes she'd be back to her old self.

He had become his real old self again and could look you in the face.

The next day he was back to his old self.

But the moment passed, and he was quickly his old self again.
