Trump Calls for Unity and Prayer in the Face of “Pure Evil”
The Los Angeles Times’s Noah Bierman reports on President Trump’s response to the mass shooting in Las Vegas, which killed dozens of people and injured hundreds more. Bierman writes, “Trump, reading from a teleprompter in the Diplomatic Reception Room, appeared downcast as he read. He said many Americans would be feeling anger and conceded that ‘the answers do not come easily.’ But he urged resiliency.” Bierman adds, “The president quoted scripture, Psalm 34:18: ‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”’
