White House officials are saying that Donald Trump won’t be going to Charlottesville because he is incapable of delivering the kind of speech the country needs, and he may only make things worse.
The Daily Beast spoke to two senior Trump aides about a trip to Charlottesville:
“Why the hell would we do that?” one White House official bluntly said, stating that whatever the president did in Charlottesville at this stage would be “used against” him by critics and media voices. The official also conceded that it was unlikely that this president would be able to deliver rousing, healing oratory that is demanded in such a dire situation. Trump, the fear went, could potentially worsen matters by being there.”
Imagine for a moment, the Obama White House refusing to send the President to Newtown because he was not capable of giving an appropriate speech, or picture the White House saying that Bush couldn’t go to New York after 9/11 because he may only make things worse.
Consoling the country and providing a moral voice in times of tragedy is part of the basic duties of the presidency. When the country is hurting, they look to the President for guidance. What is the nation supposed to do when it looks to the President, and his White House says, ‘this guy can’t handle that.’
Trump is a fraud. He isn’t a real president, and if he is incapable of comforting people after a domestic terrorist attack, he should resign immediately.
