The Kansas City Star's editorial board asks where their president is.

[kpete]

Trump usually loves to celebrate all-American heroes. But he’s passed on commending Ian Grillot, a bystander who leapt to take the gunman down before anyone else was harmed. Grillot was shot, too.

Surely the White House team could have cobbled together a statement of some sort, a response to at least address growing fears that the U.S. is unwelcoming of immigrants, or worse, that the foreign-born need to fear for their lives here. The deadly incident in Olathe has resonated across the country and even around the globe.

During such moments of crisis, people look to the president for strength and guidance.

They need to hear their moral outrage articulated, the condemnation of a possible hate crime and the affirmation that the U.S. values everyone’s contributions, whether you’re an immigrant or native-born. For Trump, this was a crucial opportunity to condemn such hateful acts and to forcefully declare that this is not who we are.

1. Their President is firmly on the side of the shooter.

In ideology at least.

2. Had the attacker been a Muslim, Trump would never

stop talking about that heroic person. Since it was a disgruntled white guy who probably voted for Trump, we get crickets instead. And that is the exact explanation of it.

3. we know Pres. Obama would have made a statement

He took these things very much to heart. Personally.

The current resident doesn't see this as fitting his world view, so it didn't happen.

4. under trump, the U.S. is unwelcoming of immigrants and they should fear for their lives here.

5. Distracts from his narrative. Unworthy of attention. NT

7. Trump Has No Moral Compass

It's glaringly obvious, Trump has no moral compass (which is why the Republicans adore him). To ever expect him to behave as though he has one is only a pipe dream.

8. Trump WH is probably mad this traitor white guy got in the way. Some congress critter should

have him as a guest @ sotu, or is he in the hospital ? I haven't heard much about him , his status, or even seen his face just the guy who killed and injured people I have seen his face multiple times
I noticed the media isn't calling him a hero much either or maybe I just didn't catch it but usually if they are gushing it appears enough times to catch the story .
