President Trump has offered strong leadership since last week’s horrific school shooting in Parkland, Fla. The president’s listening session with victims of the shooting at the White House on Wednesday offers the best example. Rather than lecturing the audience and pledging to deliver on all their dreams (as the president sometimes has a habit of doing), Trump listened intently, as those assembled expressed their sorrow and hopes for change.

Most striking here was Trump’s true humility: as one father effectively shouted at the president, Trump sat quietly, respecting the man’s need and right to make his voice heard. It was a powerful if heart-wrenching moment.
