Eugene Robinson: Trump grotesquely made his visits to Dayton and El Paso all about him

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.

According to the LSM everything that Trump does is wrong. He's wrong if he went to El Paso and Dayton and he's wrong if he doesn't go to these cities.
But it's alright for Beta, Warren, Harris, Booker, Sanders including Biden to ask for funding from the victims.
You can't say you're against violence and then say you should be carrying torches and protest in front of your opponents home. The true racists here are the Democrats.

So much for wanting the “””President of the USofA””” to be a healer.

Since Hurricane Katrina, the media and Dems spread “He doesn’t care about the victims. He’s not compassionate enough to come down here and comfort them.” (Obama and Bill C. better than GW Bush and DJT)

Which Prez is Comforter in Chief better than the other guys.

BUT the main self serving force here was the openly crass publicity grab by the Dems-—not President Trump. The Dems fought to say he is a racist and they are the gun grabbers who will “do something, do something” in the hysteria and panic over shootings.

They were totally opportunistic and gleeful that there were victims to use for political gain. How disgusting.

And that includes ALL the Americans who consider voting Dem.

It looks like it’s Robinson who made the visits all about Trump.

Am I the only person who seems to remember Eugene Robinson being busted for owning a gun despite DC gun laws?

Hmm... Look up his speeches at either event, and count the number of times he says 'I'.

Now, look up his predecessor's speech in any comparable situation, and do the same.

But Robinson has never had a bit of a problem with Obama literally making every speech about himself for the last 12 years. The guy isn’t remotely a journalist, he’s a disgrace.

Posting columns by Eugene Robinson is a waste of band width.

Trump grotesquely made his visits to Dayton and El Paso all about him >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Eugenie, you are wrong.

President Trump specifically talked to everyone, praising medical teams and police officers and expressing sympathy and best wishes to victims.

I can’t believe just how twisted these Trump Derangement Syndrome people are.

Will they all commit suicide when Trump wins in 2020? Or will they go to war?
