"We cannot be defined by the evil that threatens us or the violence that incites such terror," Trump declared at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police headquarters, reading from prepared remarks. Trump and first lady Melania Trump met privately earlier with victims of the shooting at a hospital, praising them and the doctors who treated them as he visited the reeling city. He also passed his own Trump hotel on his way toward the entertainment strip. Trump has a long personal connection to Las Vegas — a city where his name is written in huge golden letters atop his hotel. He also campaigned extensively across Nevada during his presidential campaign, drawing large crowds to rallies along the Las Vegas strip.
