The man is highly inconsistent. By now everyone knows his tone is excessively divisive and corrosive. His conciliatory talk rings hollow, and white supremacists are emboldened by his Presidency for a reason.
Lol be honest, nothing he says or does will be good enough for you

Jews must not be up to date on what white nationalists think of Trump. They hate him worse than Obama for having a Jewish son-in-law.

Absolutely right.

The Jews of Pittsburgh come in different political stripes, just as the Jews of any city. It's arrogant that the left-wing ones presume that they speak for the others.

Mr. President, go to Pittsburgh. Many of the Jewish residents will appreciate a visit by the President of the United States after such a tragedy.

What would be good enough for me would be if he:

Stopped calling the press "enemy or America" whenever he is criticized.

Publicly affirm his reverence for the First Amendment and the right for a press that questions the government, even if he pushes back against it at times.

Never again gloats about violence against any journalist at a rally again, but rather unequivocally and consistently condemns it.

Publicly supports the right and value of the Justice Department to be an independent prosecutor.

Stops undermining trust in our society by pushing unfounded conspiracy theories about "riggwd elections"

Stops his gutter personal attacks of everyone on Twitter and starts pushing back on others in a respectful manner worthy of a President.

That would be good. Of course, then he wouldn't be Donald Trump and you wouldn't get that tingle up your leg whenever he says something disgustingly toxic that is beneath his Office.

"Jewish Leaders" said no such thing. A few Trump haters did. And how many times does he have to "denounce" things? No, this isn't their place and they are inserting themselves into a situation they don't even understand.

Needless posturing on the part of the synagogue. If the old fool shows up at the door, LOCK 'ER UP.

People, please stop. The neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, the Jewish members of the three congregations housed in the building where the attack happened, and their friends and neighbors have been traumatized. A friend of mine from church whose husband is Jewish was absolutely bereft when I saw her on Sunday. This is very personal for everyone who is Jewish and those who care about them. Let these people grieve, even if it means lashing out. The President does not need you to defend him. Instead, be compassionate toward those who have suffered such unimaginably horrific violence. They need love and support in this very dark moment of their lives.

That's not the issue though. When a Christian church was shot up, it was what it was. But when blacks at church were shot up, the whole confederacy heritage was banned and torn down. And when Jewish people are shot at, then websites are shut down and calls for mass censorship are made. The response and difference in response is alarming and frankly offensive.
