Responding to Wednesday morning's shooting in Alexandria, Va., President Trump offered a reassuring message to the American people.
He paid homage to the police officers who risked their lives to save those at the baseball practice.
"Our brave Capitol Police perform a challenging job with incredible skill. And their sacrifice makes democracy possible."
Trump recognized Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., as an individual, as well as a Congressman.
"Congressman Scalise is a friend, and a very good friend. And he's a patriot and a fighter."
And Trump called on Americans to respect those in public service. "Always remember those who serve and keep us safe".
It was a great statement. A presidential statement. Trump offered words of unity in a confident manner. He did not bluster or politicize the attack.....

Been nice knowing you pal. According to Dem Gov VA McAwful, 93mm people die everyday from gun violence. I hope to hang on until Saturday.
Yep - only way to do that is to be the last shooter and not commit suicide after.....
McAuliffe managed to turn this into a political talking point moment. Who expected anything else? it A democrat frenzy against Trump whipped up and inflamed this up to today’s awful attack on his political enemies and the Republic.
Democrats are already making excuses for this fringe lunatic liberal.
Amazing how they always blame Trump for the violence of their supporters.
Trump saying funny, inappropriate or mean things during the campaign is so much worse then them physically attacking and trying to kill people. /s
This insanity from the left has to stop and the media, who are their biggest supporters and protectors needs a complete overhaul.
Pitiful.
It is the actions and rhetoric of the left that fuels the hate, ironic
as they proclaim to be the ‘no hate’ and ‘love trumps hate’ group! Prayers for enlightenment to those who unknowingly worship the darkness, and defeat of those who knowingly do so.
Glad I'm 1828.8mm's!! d;^)
Just another "lone wolf" with ties to a terrorist sympathy organization that encourages violence against Republicans, the Democrat Party.
But don't fret. Your dopey constituency will never even hear about this, or if they do, they'll assume this guy was just another crazy right winger with a gun. I'm sure you can distract them from the truth and blame the NRA or the "alt-right".
The rabid rhetoric is cover for Clinton and Obama and they are doing a masterful job. The door was open by Never Trumpers and treasonous scum Pubes way before President Trump won the Primary. We are now living the “Cold Civil War”.
“Was this the first shot fired in Civil War II? History will reveal the answer in due time.”
I would say yes ... a new type of “asymmetric warfare” that will become more prevalent as time moves on.
The so-called “media” love it and will continue to encourage it. The Marxist (aka Dems) will continue blame Trump for it every time this happens in the future.
I bet the next time this happens will be at a Repub rally or protest. Then we will have moved into “high gear” where any political gathering will be extremely dangerous to go to. And it will be “gear up” time for both sides.
At that rate the world will be empty in a bit over seventy five and a half days...
Because they lack integrity and fight for a lower plane of existence. They in fact go low.
