Set aside special counsel Robert Muellers investigation and the Stormy Daniels saga for a moment. Pretend, for a moment, there was never even a reason to have either. This nation would still be in serious peril with Donald J. Trump as our president. Why?
Because he is a man who calls Roseanne Barr to congratulate her on her TV ratings, but can't find a minute to call Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr. and simply say, "Our nation is grateful to you for your courage and act of heroism.
That's the America he stands for. Be afraid; be very afraid.

Shaw was wearing a T-shirt labeled "Live," a shirt sold by the Nashville-based company Live Above that is donating all profits to the James Shaw Jr. Foundation for the victims of the Waffle House attack.
In addition to Shaw's own philanthropy, his alma mater Tennessee State University, established a scholarship in his name last week.
