By Town Hall, Nov. 2, 2018

Three reasons to post this video: (1) Because I was critical -- justifiably, I think -- of elements of the president's conduct in the wake of the recent spate of mail bombs and the Pittsburgh hate crime, I want to showcase some of his laudable leadership, as well.  (2) It's just a fact that much of the media absolutely despises the president, so you're unlikely to see this clip shared far and wide the way that you would if it featured Trump's predecessor.  (3) This interaction serves as a lovely reminder that the angry political echo chambers that many partisans inhabit, on both ends of the spectrum, isn't reflective of how a great many Americans live their lives.
