In visit to Dayton, Trump finds a victim — himself

President Donald Trump emerged from a Dayton hospital on Wednesday grieving — for himself.

After visiting with survivors of this weekend's shooting massacre in the mid-size western Ohio city, Trump took to Twitter to rage at Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley. He was furious about a press conference in which Brown said some of the hospital staff had "showed respect for the office" even after having indicated privately they were "not great admirers" of the president.

It was an elbow to the ribs, not a haymaker. But it was also the kind of slight — perceived or real — that made the leader of the free world act like he was the real victim. Predictably, he just couldn't let it go.
