At a “ listening session ” with victims of gun violence on Wednesday, President Donald Trump needed a reminder to listen. Cameras captured the list of five pointers while Trump held it in his hands during the session. But to need a reminder to let gun violence survivors know you’re listening to them, while at a “listening session” organized for that explicit purpose is ... well, very on-brand for Trump. It was an emotional affair, as survivors of gun violence recalled lost siblings, frequently struggling to hold back tears. Hopefully President Trump’s reminder to show empathy proved fruitful, and he was able to bring them at least a small amount of comfort.
