After a 2019 mass shooting in El Paso that left 22 dead and 24 injured, Trump visited the scene to meet with survivors and first responders.
In one of the photos tweeted by wife Melania, he had a smile and a thumbs up as he stood next to her while she held an infant that had been orphaned by the killer. The infant suffered broken fingers as his mother collapsed on him to shield him from the attack.
The killer had made multiple white nationalist and anti-immigrant posts online. Trump himself has advocated politically extremist views, including infamously claiming at Charlottesville after a white nationalist rally that left a woman dead that, “there were fine people on both sides.”
