“President Trump has abandoned his live-on-television promise to work for gun control measures that are opposed by the National Rifle Association, instead bowing to the gun group and embracing its agenda of armed teachers and incremental improvements to the existing background check system,” the New York Times reports.

Said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA): “To no one’s surprise, the president’s words of support for stronger gun safety laws proved to be hollow. Responding to the murder of 17 students and educators by endorsing the gun lobby’s platform is a shameful abdication of the president’s responsibility to lead. Shame on you, Mr. President.”

1. Shocker

I just wish more people in the media would call out this NRA plan for arming teachers. That plan has nothing to do with school safety and everything to do with hundreds of thousands of gun sales.

2. 66 million Americans faint dead away from the shock

Or they would, if the popular media highlighted this story and called out Trump for his flip-flop.
