.AriMelber compares how past presidents and President Trump have lead the US in times of mourning: 'Trump largely avoids any words of public condolence at all. That's unprecedented in history. 'You're not dreaming, it was not always this way.'
Presidents throughout history have led the nation to grieve during tragedy – until now. As over 90,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, Pres. Trump is breaking the bipartisan custom of consoling the nation. During an entire month of briefings, Trump devoted less than one percent of his total time to condolences , a marked contrast to Presidents Bush, Clinton, Obama and Reagan.
Anchor Ari Melber delves into the historical footage, noting President’s action or inaction shapes “how the nation is protected,” adding, "this is not normal. We should not act like this is normal.”
