re: Trump needs to visit the shooter's family

I can hear him now

“ God bless you folks ok, your son was a weak fig, and of course a murderer, and also shot my ear off , and I’ve seen some weak figs, some with guns, I’m from New York, but he was a weak fig, Bigly, but you folks are good people not weak figs and I’m sorry about your weak fig dead son who shot my ear and let me tell you that’s quite a China cabinet ”…

Invite them to the convention and have them sit in his box like it’s the State of the Union

I think its a bad idea (to visit shooters parents and forgive shooter).

In his position as future POTUS, he will have to be tough on crime and set a high standard. You forgive the shooter and this would be bad optics for some later decisions he’ll need to make as POTUS.

I can see the merits posted here, but mainly due to his position he just can’t. Later when some radical kills someone else the leftist press will ask if he forgave them and if not they’ll just use it against him.

So many potential pitfalls. It might sound like a good thing to do now but over next 4 years it won’t. Plus you will never please the radical leftists.

After he competes his second term he can do it, if he wants.

That sounds like a strategic approach that could certainly shake things up. Showing kindness and unity can indeed have a powerful impact on changing perceptions.

Agreed. They didn't do anything and they're hurting. They need healing and if Trump showed up, the entire media's head would collectively explode.

Exactly. He could use this to combat bullying, address the loneliness epidemic, and reach across the isle
