President Trump offered a gentler version of his presidency to survivors of the El Paso shooting during his visit to the Texas city, according to a baseball coach who heroically raced to the scene to save lives.
βOne of the children went up to hug him so he got down on one knee to let him,β said Jimmy Villatoro, who described meeting the president at the cityβs University Medical Center, where many of the wounded were treated.
βIt was a different side of him, one that you donβt see in public,β Villatoro said in an interview with the Washington Examiner.
