^ Actually, they turn up all the time on tv, hugging the President and such, or at a minimum thanking the Pres for his words. They're not necessarily stupid, tbh. I think it's connected to how different people have different emotional attitudes to leaders, patriotism, grief etc.

Of course, some politicos have more genuine empathy than others, so even in moments of grief, I'd recommend that people be careful about who they hug:-
