Trump has to be careful – people like what he is doing but right now
they do not like his demeanor and apparent lack of heart, especially
women who want to see compassion and showing compassion is not exactly a
Trump strong point.
I really liked his Nasa speech after Demo2, but not
the rose garden one – if this rioting continues he needs to show a human side –
it’s what the country needs and he should be able to do this while
keeping the same tough policies, Reagan could do this which is in part
what made him so popular. Trump needs to step up and be the Reagan this
country needs, show moderates they can be proud of the country and like Reagan, it
makes the democrat haters look like fools.
If he can pull that off I think November is a landslide possibly with an R sweep in congress.
Can he do it? Will he do it? Who knows – It’s Trump – he already has my vote so it’s not me he has to convince.

I think he has brilliantly exhibited his sensitive side during his state of the union addresses, so he certainly is capable of doing so again now. I don’t follow the news closely enough to know if he has, but I agree with your point. This is the time to show compassion (not to the rioters, obviously), and doing so would improve his standing in the eyes of many moderates.
I tend to trust Trump’s political instincts, they’re the best I’ve ever seen. Everybody who has said “he needs to do this instead of that” are the people who produced the failed Romney, Jeb!, Marco, etc. campaigns.
I hope your right or this country could be done.
