>> Trump - with his reactions to the recent shootings - has shown that he has to reach up to touch bottom.

For interest- what was it that so dismayed you, and what would you have liked to have seen from him?

To many of us out here, we see that POTUS doesn't have the power of a Prime Minister who by definition enjoys support from government and cabinet, so can drive legislation. Whereas POTUS appears to have no power of legislation: that's for Congress and while POTUS may have veto power, that doesn't help if Congress continues its tradition of fixing the blame rather than the problem wrt mass shootings. POTUS seems to be limited to sympathy and prayer unless people believe starting a foreign war or imposing a tariff or closing the border would help- and even those powers granted by previous congress or constitution seem to be subject to veto by unelected activist judiciary.
