"He (Trump) is a very diverse person, he speaks his mind and irritates people, but I think him being here just unifies hopefully this country. And that is what we need," said Frazier, who was about 20 feet from the stage when Paddock opened fire on an outdoor music festival on Las Vegas Strip.
"I hopefully we can come together on resolutions with the gun issues and all other issues like that," he added.
The Trumps then met with police officers and first responders at Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMDP).
"You showed the world and the world is watching, and you showed what professionalism is all about," said Trump.
"The president of the United State is the highest ranking official of the country, when that person takes his time to come down here to see the officers, thank for what they did, it's an uplifting to all of us officers," Steven Grammas, the president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association (LVPPA), told Xinhua.
A day after his visit to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, Trump's visit to Las Vegas on Wednesday is his second trip in two days aimed at comforting victims of tragedies.
Days after the mass shooting, Grammas doesn't "think it's late." "Bring him here early would have maybe caused problems," he added. "We are still dealing with the whole lockdown there."
As the president departed the White House, Trump told reporters, "It's a very, very sad day for me, personally."
