Parkland victim's father suggests Trump putting Obama's safety at risk with wall tweet

The father of a victim of the Parkland, Fla., high school shooting slammed President Trump on Sunday for highlighting the privacy fence around former President Obama's home as part of a push for border wall funding.

"You f--ng lunatic. Are you seriously trying to put our former President at risk?" Fred Guttenberg tweeted.



Guttenberg's daughter, Jaime, was killed at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in February. Fred has since become an outspoken advocate for stricter gun laws and a critic of the president.

His criticism on Sunday came in response to a tweet in which Trump cited a "wall" built around the Obama's home in Washington, D.C., to justify the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

But people get attacked and killed by other people who don't live there all the time.

But, Traitor Trump would love nothing more than the death of a real president who actually got voted in and isn't a little Putin tool.

to send out dangerous packages through the USPS to over a dozen prominent Trump critics and Democratic politicians.

So, yes... Trump is deliberately using inflammatory speech to attempt to induce radicals to physically attack his adversaries.

As, only cowards, do.

"The government would have to take land by eminent domain....". The rightwing media doesn't mention this.
