(CNN)President Donald Trump will travel Wednesday to the scenes of back-to-back mass shootings that stunned the nation and left at least 31 people dead, but his planned appearances in Ohio and Texas aren't being well received by all local officials -- some of whom say it would be best if the commander in chief avoided their grief-stricken cities.

On visits to sites of tragedy, the President often makes impromptu remarks, a scenario aides haven't ruled out for his Wednesday stops.

Trump has at most moments of his presidency appeared more focused on driving a divisive political message than acting as a unifier. While he has expressed intense interest in appearing "presidential," including through the military trappings of the job, he has not eagerly adopted the tone his predecessors have used from the Oval Office or other official settings.

Teflon Don would appear more "presidential" in Texas by waving at the crowd from a 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible, like JFK did.

2. Another stupid media question....

trump is the one who caused what happened. You don't get rid of cancer by leaving the tumor to grow. You remove the tumor to stop the growth. He just spews empty and many times totally inappropriate words.
So to answer the question, NO.

5. You are correct, Teflon Don's racially-charged, divisive remarks triggered the tragedies...

But don't you think he could appear more "presidential" in a convertible, like the one that Kennedy waved to cheering crowds from, in Houston?

He's going there to fan the flames and incite more violence.

6. Hate that he's going there BUT

If MSM get their shit together, very interesting QUESTIONS could be asked of him! Make him pay the price for his stupid move here! EDIT to say how about asking him for the MONEY he owes them, and also about the Puerto Rico aid.

8. Will mosquitos cure malaria and yellow fever?

Will ticks cure Lyme disease?
