Eugene Robinson: Trump grotesquely made his visits to Dayton and El Paso all about him
sltrib ^ | 08/07/2019 | Eugene Robinson

Washington • It is not just his stoking of white supremacist sentiment that makes Donald Trump such a dangerously unfit president. It’s also the corruption, the weakness, the ignorance, the incompetence and the stunning lack of empathy — all of which we saw this week on grotesque display.

What kind of man visits two grieving communities, shattered by horrific mass shootings, and somehow makes it all about him? I covered the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and had trouble sleeping for weeks afterward; colleagues of mine have had similar reactions to other massacres. Yet what apparently lingered with President Trump from his trip Wednesday to Dayton and El Paso was the tone of the coverage he received on cable news.

The smiling people in those photos, will have pictures to last not only their lifetime, but the lifetime of their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and on down the line.

Of course it’s in part about the president. The President of the United States came to their bedside. It’s the highest honor a citizen can have, the president coming to show his respects on behalf of the nation to them personally.

What kind of ignoramus can’t grasp this?

Trump carries the weight of the world as well as anyone I’ve ever seen.

He is criticized and blamed and slandered and lied about, and cursed constantly. Onward he goes...

We’re lucky to have this guy in there right now.

Some folks have no idea how lucky we are.

A professional learns to compartmentalize.

I was a working TV street news reporter during the late sixties.

No, no. It’s the lamestream weenies who always make everything all about Trump. He goes about being businesslike, then lamestream weenies ask him stupid, insulting, accusatory questions, whereupon he begins to state the truth, which makes him look good (because he is), and they say, “There he goes again!”

They’re infantile.

The whiner works for the Washington Post and is a scribe for the Deep State. That's all you need to know about him.

No, the MSM make it all about Trump and what he is doing wrong.
Coverage isn’t about what he says to try to comfort the victim, it’s about protesters, anything they can find to diss the President and his comeback.

The MSM is used to dissing someone, esp. a republican, and they just take it.
This President dishes it right back and they don’t like it. Thin skinned twerps.
