Jon Ralston: Empathy Is Not Trump’s Wheelhouse
EXCERPT:
RUHLE: "Jon, what message do you think President Trump needs to get to this community? I mean Las Vegas has 45 million tourists come to this town every year. People are scared."
RALSTON: "They should be scared, right? You just mentioned it, 22,000 people in an enclosed area. I mean, and -- and -- and listen, Trump is going to try to provide empathy; that’s not his wheelhouse, as you know, Stephanie, but he’s going to go visit the county hospital, he’s going to go visit the metro police. I have to tell you, I hope he really does repeat what a lot of people have said. The first responders here, I mean it's -- the injury toll, the death toll is horrific, but hundreds more people would have been killed if the first responders in Las Vegas had not responded the way they did."
