Teleprompter saying what are basically, you know, the traditional, appropriate, comforting things that a president says and calling for unity and looking for common bipartisan solutions. but its when he goes off the cuff in unscripted remarks, and hes, i guess you could argue, really showing his true self, that he reverts to a role that is much more divisive, inflammatory, pleasing his supporters, but infuriating his critics by going back to politically incorrect commentary sort of rubbing the r...

He posed for pictures with the bridal power. he was apparently golfing because he was spotted hanging out in golf clothes with shorts, khaki t-shirts, smiling. all the while saying nothing to the american people. whats so interesting over the weekend there wasnt a call for him to be presidential and appear and act as consoler and chief. in part because whenever hes appeared to do so, it has not been effective. he struggles to display empathy and emotion and channel the grievances of these commun...

Wedding held at his golf course we learned via social media. and then the next day as well, as the dayton, ohio, shooting, the details of that horror also emerged. weve seen time and time again, he is very uncomfortable in this role as the consoler in chief, if you will. we all remember his response when he went to puerto rico and was shooting paper towels like basketballs to the hurricane victims there. he has often struggled to connect with any empathy with those impacted by tragedy. and, of c...

That shooter in el paso or in dayton. its getting these guns off the street. thats what we need to do. >> we have heard from the president in terms of tweets, as im sure you know. he has said, "god be with you all." hes offered the thought and prayers of both him and his wife, the first lady. but it is one of the most terrible but also most serious roles of president of the united states, and the man you worked for, barack obama, has spoken about this and that is to be consoler in chief. so what...
