Trump's advisers have him NOT speaking to the country because they dont think he can do it (empathize) and it cant help him politically (think about that last one, as cities burn and protesters lay siege to the WH)
"Jared Kushner, Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, is not in favor of a high-profile presidential speech at this time, according to a person close to the White House.
Some Trump allies agree. “It doesn’t matter how brilliant an Oval Office address President Trump gives, that isn’t going to make a difference to people financially, and the real issue is the economy,” said Jason Miller, a former campaign communications adviser.
A formal address would only set Trump up for failure, Miller argued. "It’s so easy to say he didn’t strike the perfect chord, or left out this detail," he said. "There are only various levels of failure that could result.”
