To the Editor:

Re “President Uses a Day of Healing to Stoke Discord” (front page, Aug. 8):

It was a day for memorializing the dead and perhaps for considering the question, can our government do anything to protect us from murderous fanatics? But in the eyes of the great narcissist, it was all about himself.

Can anyone in America not cringe upon reading what he had to say after visiting mourning Dayton? “ W e had an amazing day. The love, the respect for the office of the presidency — I wish you could have been in there to see it.”

Pathetic.
