Drawing a Blank

Listening session1

So Trump held a “listening session” at the White House on Wednesday, so people affected by the tragedy in Florida could express themselves to him.  The session is hard to listen to, as you’re having to hear the rawest emotions from people who were struck by the most horrendous act of human hatred, and having to be composed and responsive…well I don’t know that I can blame someone for having some structured notes to make sure when they were asking questions, they could get to the heart of the matter.  So I can’t in good conscience give Trump guff for having notes, even though they were clearly written by someone with better handwriting then him.  But what I can take note of is the fact that on  the bottom, number 5) was a clear note for him to tell these poor people that he hears them.  To suggest that Trump would need a reminder to say something like this shows that the people around the President are concerned that he can’t project his sincere attention.
