Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

the political hysteria i see over the Parkland, FL shootings reminds only too well of the political antics following the Dylann Roof tragedy. i’m not amused.

there was a lot of pay-off to all that hysteria, so, the motivation is there to repeat the pattern.

i wish i’d never heard the words, “community organizer,” or “political activists.” :(
(in lots of peoples’ minds) these have now become dirty words.

i’ll repeat. fwiw.
my perception of Trump is that he is more of a diplomat/negotiator than lots of others.

he, and Melania, have shown up at the time of these tragedies more quickly than other recent presidents, plural; and, he seems to move quickly with approving disaster relief than others before him. sometimes, addressing imminent disasters, not waiting for them to fully hit. (that has not been done before, to my knowledge.)

the most recent was in American Samoa, which was barely mentioned in news. :-|

regarding this Florida visit, and his willingness to discuss changes in law, i’ll wait+see.
i will not venture to guess what he’s thinking. or what is possible.
