Skin too fragile to touch

Isn't this what every major political figure in America does, constantly? I don't know where you live but here I feel like not a single school shooting, natural disaster, high-profile murder, outbreak of sickness, etc. goes by without major figures from one or both political parties trying to use it to somehow advance their agenda.

It's a little scummy, but yours seems like a bit of an overreaction for a (sadly) extremely common practice.

For the love of all that is good, DO NOT use politicians as your gauge for acceptable behavior or rhetoric. I mean seriously...

I get that it didn't come across well, but I wasn't saying "whatever Donald Trump does in a campaign speech is good enough for me," I was saying, "this seems to be a defining characteristic of our political discourse, I get finding it distasteful all-caps yelling about it seems like an over-reaction." I stand by that. Down-vote all you want.
