i spoke with andrew pollack, the father of meadow pollack killed last week who clearly went into the meeting. he had a private meeting with president trump in the oval office earlier this week and he went into it as a big supporter of the president and felt very much like he was comforted and consoled by the visit, like president trump went out of his way to be kind. >> let me read his quote. he showed us nothing but love. the guy really cared, you know. he flew us in. he had a bus waiting for us. he made time tore us. he took pictures of my daughter that he brought. he said he was going to look at it every day. he's a regular guy. i wouldn't have been there if i didn't think he cared. >> right. so he clearly felt a lot of support, a lot of empathy from the president. my colleague also spoke with one of the survivors of the shooting who was in the hospital last week when she got a phone call from president trump who was very turned off by it. the first thing he said to her, she says, i heard you're a big fan of mine. she said she thought he probably made that up. seemed reminiscent o
