- Trump is vowing not to be “nice” after his near-fatal shooting at his Pennsylvania rally.
- He initially softened his tone, calling for unity in a speech at the Republican National Convention.
- But he quickly resumed attacks on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
He was bad before, helped make the pandemic what it was (is), but this would have been a shining point in an otherwise terrible presidency. Like you said, it was an almost trope level question in crisis, one that any leader knows how to approach, and he went sideways. Anyone with any empathy towards others who supported him should have walked away then.
