What good could he possibly do there? And he called Comey a "showboat."

Oh, that's right.... Comey is scheduled to testify "later in the week." Now it makes sense.

He's more than enough of an embarrassment here. I can't even imagine what he would do there and, honestly, don't want to.

Please, give them adequate time to recover from this tragedy.

They have better more important things to attend to now than devoting time and resources to providing a photo-op for our narcissistic president.

He would prefer to deal with male leaders.
Probably thinks all men agree with him in everything.

He's utterly useless. He can't help anybody. No real emergency could benefit from his presence. Is he going to go over there and "declare" something or "vow" something?? Or "demand" something? Whatever, I've just had it.

Why not find someone in the White House that can craft a proper message of condolence and support and leave things at that?

Don't they have enough to contend with right now? The last thing they need is that orange ape in their midst effing everything up all over the place. What on earth does he think his presence there could possibly do for them?

"Solidarity" can be demonstrated from anywhere. Oh, wait! Photo ops and distraction.

Seriously, he's the last thing they need right now to impede the investigation and during the middle of a national election. And there's the security nightmare he'd create.

it'd be the next best thing for Labour to some ISIS nutter releasing a video brandishing a severed head and telling people to vote Tory.
