Will this be the point at which he finally “pivots”?
Yup. Thoughts and prayers. Etc, etc.
When you shoot up casinos you’ve gone too far.
Well this ought to be painful as hell and will not offer up a single solution beyond thoughts and prayers. And I figure he’ll probably even screw up thoughts and prayers.

This isn’t even going to provide an opportunity for decent snark.
This is going to be the Joe DiMaggio hitting streak of jump-the-shark–unsurpassable.
We’re somewhere around peak Trump.
ETA-There’s an off chance it’ll be short, but that’d surprise me.
Come on, Trump. Let’s hear how the wounded shouldn’t expect everything to be done for them.
Is he dedicating another golf trophy?
Malaria is busy shopping for a gold lame dress and veil for the Las Vegas memorial service.
Careful, Two Scoops! So many pitfalls. You can’t talk about guns, natch. You can try to blame previous administrations but good luck with that. This is caused by people not standing for the anthem? You instinctively know you’ll be laughed at. And you probably shouldn’t bring up mental health—trust me on that one. So what do you talk about? I guess we’ll see.
ETA—I suppose he could shake Miller awake and plead for something in that pulp-fiction portentous vein about the cost of our precious freedoms and how we shouldn’t focus on the fifty dead and four hundred wounded, that would be misguided.
Is he gonna boast about how their were no big shootings at HIS casino?
This time for sure. He’ll read a prepared statement from a teleprompter.
He won’t be “speaking”; he’ll be “reading”. They don’t want him talking about gun control or white mass murderers.
He will probably go off-script, to snipe at a certain Puerto Rican Mayor…
I’m sure he’ll later thank everyone for all the congrats for his response, and ask why Puerto Rico couldn’t show the same type of gratitude.
I can’t decide if he will boast that it is the biggest shooting ever or go with it’s not my fault.
You sure he’s not going to say that the “fake news” people are all over this, but they don’t report how great things are going in Puerto Rico?
“There were fine people on both sides, both in the audience and in the shooter’s room …”
Yes. This is news we need. Trump is expected to add his own special level of stupidity and ignorance to “illuminate” this mass shooting.
Trump will speak. He will make it all about himself.
