....real action
Trump Administration has sent a crack squad of experts to assist the inexperienced New Zealand government deal with the aftermath of a mass shooting after Jacinda Ardern showed early warning signs she might do something practical to stem gun violence.
The eight-man team was tasked with sharing their countrys grim experience with mass slaughter and has some of the worlds foremost experts in the art of offering thoughts and prayers in this time of national mourning.
In addition, members of the team are highly accustomed to explaining that this was not the time to discuss legislation and that they are shocked at the cynical attempts to politicise such a tragedy.

buy in to the whole idea of a god before they can start the prayer circles. This could be one of their toughest missions.

DT at least keeps up with the US tradition of doing nothing
