As the event was winding down, President Trump surprised the room by asking Dr. Phil—his friend and a Texas native—to say a few words. 

It turned out to be one of the most human moments of the day.

Dr. Phil didn’t try to spin anything. 

He acknowledged the pain in the room and across the region.

“Thank you. I've talked to families and survivors, parents and grandparents, and the truth is we know psychologically that the number one stressor that we can experience in life is the loss of a child.”

“And the worst situation that we can experience that is when it's sudden and when it's violent.”

“The truth is, you never get over it you get through it.”

“It's cathartic to talk about this. And there is the collective consciousness in these communities down here.”

He made clear his own ties to the state, his backyard.

“This is my country down here, Texas is home for me.”

“And everybody in these communities suffered this loss at some level and so everybody shares that and so everybody shares the healing.”

Dr. Phil closed by focusing on what unites people in the hardest moments.

It was a reminder of what 'Texas Strong' actually boils down to. 

“This is about faith, and it's about family, and it's truly about community.”

“And it says 'Texas Strong' on the desk that you are sitting at, and that's true because people will come together.”
