This week many of us have followed the horrific news that Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC journalist Savannah Guthrie, has gone missing and has likely been kidnapped. When asked, President Trump offered his support and said: “It’s a terrible thing. I always get along well with Savannah. Very unusual situation, but we’re going to find out.”
Even in his words of support he still has to make it about himself. It reminded me of his words when NPR journalist Cokie Roberts died in 2019. Cokie was a pioneering journalist and inspired countless girls and women to follow in her footsteps. Trumps response: “I never met her. She never treated me nicely.” Nothing about her work or her place.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one who tires of Trump making everything about himself.
