As in the past, usually when America faces a crisis as we are seeing unfolding today the President usually offers an address from the Oval Office aimed at consoling the country, showing empathy, and laying down a path to follow. Reagan did it, Clinton did it, Bush did it, Obama did it, all successfully, so is Trump going to step up?

Hello archives,
His natural tendency is to always seize any opportunity to get publicity.
But in this case, the talk that is needed goes against his platform of racism and tough-guy stature. So if he goes on TV, he may do himself more harm than good. And of course, his main concern for deciding to do or not do anything is how it is likely to affect his polling. He just can't throw red meat to his base without bringing a lot of unwanted criticism.

He already spoke to it. Perhaps you need to consider adding other news sources.

Have I mentioned that Trump is a fucking moron?
If I haven't...
...allow me to say that Trump is a fucking moron.
Now...with that out of the way...Trump could no more show sympathy and compassion than he could give reasonable instruction on how to avoid being a fucking moron.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

Ah, that is what real President's do, have done, in similar situations, go before the American people, show empathy for those feeling hurt, do his best to unite all Americans, and recommend a path forward, as I said, Reagan did it, Clinton did it, Bush did it, Obama did it, so when is Trump stepping up to the plate? Or is he even capable of showing real leadership?

"he just got attacked at home with his family?"
So you actually think those individuals in Lafayette Park where actually threatening Trump sitting in the White House? Where they knocking on the front door, sneaking across the lawn? If there ever was a real threat Trump would be out of there quicker than a hot knife thru butter, off to shoot another eighteen in Florida
And if there were no "leftists" in America the right would become the center and be quickly challenged by another group of haters to their right, you don't think all those radio and Fox demogogues are going to give up their profitable gig easily did you?
