Stop with the criticism of President Trump for using notes during his visit with the victims and families of the Florida school shooting.

By using reminders instead of his famous tendency to wing it, the president is actually showing that he cares and wants to listen.
My old boss President Reagan used note cards. Let's not criticize President Trump for being appropriately prepared.
