Yup. Dumb move. He is setting a precedent. He is showing weakness. Wait until the convention date rolls around. Then what? L
WADR, perhaps he is showing respect rather than weakness?
Not a dumb move. Clinton hae cancelled and Trump has issued a statement. It is enough. Any more would be seen as politicizing this tragedy.
A dumb move for Trump? Showing weakness? You have no idea if local law enforcement told Trump they had received threats of another mass cop killing but this time at a Trump rally to make their statement.
All this is possible. And even if not the case, regardless, this was a smart move.
Here’s what Mr. Trump had to say:
“Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded- is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.
We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.
The senseless, tragic deaths of two people in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done.
This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.
Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children.
This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.”
