Good evening. Traditionally, when a president visits a city in mourning, he meets with victims

0:05.0

and families, doctors and nurses, police and other first responders. He praises their

0:09.8

efforts and most of all, he listens to those who've lost loved ones and as what words

0:14.6

of comfort he can. President Trump did that today in Dayton and El Paso as his tradition

0:20.0

1:27.2

nodded toward a first responder and said he looked forward to working with Democrats
