thank you for your interesting perspectiveThe timing is probably not best, not for Trump anyway. Others could have capitalized on the sympathy, Trump will not. It might he hard to see right now, but people will forget pretty quickly. This election has barely begun. A couple weeks before the election wouldve been better for him I think.
Also, that it was a Republican shooter takes some wind out of those sails.
It is the #1 trending topic in the world since it happened, and as you surely know, anything related to name recognition, however it happens, works with elections.
