OUR president’s speaking abilities are better every day. Not just the presentation, but the connection to his heart. Very moving!

Trump calls to the stage the brother & wife of slain Officer Ronil Singh - who was killed on Christmas eve by an illegal immigrant. The widow initially did not want to speak, but with her baby in arms, took the mic & stunned the audience. Their words need to be heard.
"I actually want to thank you personally, you're the only one that actually reached out and gave you condolences to the family, and it actually means a lot to all of our law enforcement families that are here..."
It was very nice of him to bring up the Sing family & let them speak. The wife said she did not want to speak, but then changed her mind & thanked POTUS.
He is great at this - bringing up people to speak on the spur of the moment. I'm sure most are scared or initially don't want to come up, but Trump makes them feel so comfortable & reassures them that what they have to say is important, that they give heartfelt contributions when they speak. He is so calm, patient and never makes them feel uneasy as they begin to speak & then gain strength through his reassurances.
He did this yesterday with the big guy at the LNG plant. The poor guy was almost whispering & stumbling for his words, and Trump slapped him on the back & that gave the big guy comfort. Today when the wife changed her mind, Trump said "sure". He never made her feel like she was interrupting the event or imposing.
