Trump On Santa Fe High Shooting: ‘This Has Been Going On Too Long’ In US

By Nicole Lafond | May 18, 2018 11:56 am

President Donald Trump on Friday offered his condolences to the families of the at least eight people killed in a shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas and said school shootings have “been going on too long in our country.”

Trump’s full comments, delivered at the start of a prison reform discussion at the White House:

“Thank you very much. Unfortunately I have to begin by expressing our sadness and heart break over the deadly shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas that just took place moments ago. We’re closely monitoring the situation and federal authorities are coordinating with local officials.

“This has been going on too long in our country. Too many years. Too many decades now. We grieve for the terrible loss of life and send our support and love to everyone affected by this absolutely horrific attack to the students, families, teachers, and personnel at Santa Fe High. We’re with you in this tragic hour, and we will be with you forever.

“My administration is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools and to keep weapons out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves and to others. Everyone must work together at every level of government to keep our children safe. May God heal the injured and may God comfort the wounded and may God be with the victims and with the victims families. Very sad day. Very very sad.”

1. Right.

Then he will go and speak to the NRA again. Effing liar.

[olegramps]

17. He, with the cooperation of the NRA, is going to arm every student with an AR15 or AK47.

According to Trump the students have a right to protect themselves and will be given a choice of which weapon they prefer. Trump tweeted: "Problem Solved".

[GusBob]

2. Jesus, raw story with the typos

[DonViejo]

11. here you go...

Let them know.

[e-mail]

[Judi Lynn]

48. Truly. n/t

[rtracey]

58. while you're at it

tell them and everyone viewing to stop using the word "prolly".....it's probably, not prolly.

[dalton99a]

3. 'Everything' means 'nothing' in Trumpspeak

[dhill926]

4. which means of course...nothing...

fuck him...

[ExciteBike66]

5. Sure, let's have the stupidest possible American start dreaming up "solutions"...nt

[lark]

6. Freaking lies, all total lies.

The only thing he and Russian repugs really want is more gun sales and the related deaths are just to be ignored when possible. When not, say a few lying words, do nothing and move on. Kids and deaths don't matter at all to him, only $$ and power for himself and his collaborators killers.

[keithbvadu2]

45. "more gun sales and the related deaths are just to be ignored when possible"

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

[angrychair]

7. TRUMP WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO HELP

the NRA.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Dumbshit means this in the moment, like a child means something in the moment.

3 minutes after he leaves the podium one of the fascists who works for him will remind him he cant do anything, at all, ever.

And he wont.

[SummerSnow]

8. He is telling the truth people....

He vows to everything he can NOT to stop school shootings

[Cryptoad]

9. Samn ,, that doesn't sound good,,,

Oliver had better funnel another Million or two into one Trump secret money washing operation!!!!!!

[unblock]

10. wow, donnie speaking about it quickly. must be a very white town

yup! 93.8% white, color me surprised!

[maryellen99]

20. Yep they had a judge who was a KKK grand dragon up until the 90's nt

[dalton99a]

25. Yep:

[thegoose]

24. Yeah, since both Dump and Dense spoke out

My first thought was "Is the shooter black?"

[Haggis for Breakfast]

62. No, he's white, which means

that he will almost immediately be labeled as being "mentally ill."

Now if he was an Arabic or Muslim boy, he would be labeled a "terrorist" immediately.

Which begs the question. What are Muslims doing to maintain such exceptional mental clarity ? Is it the kabob ? Hummus ?

[turbinetree]

12. Hey asshole what kind of ratings are you looking for and money

after all your so full of proverbial shit, you even said that you can stand in fifth avenue and shoot someone and nobody would notice remember that asshole.

The first fucking foremost thing you would have to do is retract that fucking statement and say it on video ...................but you will not, so go fuck yourself, and the NRA horse you rode in on.....................and the gun lobby that fucking gave you money...................


FUCK YOU





November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[salin]

13. Just like you stood with the Parkland families - when you ranted... er addressed the NRA?

Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies - like the old 80s song, but not as hip.

[Paladin]

14. Go back to sucking off the NRA, trump. That's where your talent lies. (nt)

[Orsino]

15. Doing things is not really his brand. n/t

[kstewart33]

16. Here come another bunch of broken promises. nt

[Ohiogal]

18. Promise you'll do "everything"

then go kiss Wayne laPierre's ass some more, Dotard.

[C Moon]

19. Trump appears to be in repair mode this morning.

Trying to clean up for all his idiocy throughout the week.

[JDC]

21. Liar

[logosoco]

22. Unless it benefits trump's businesses, he will do nothing.

This is too big of an issue for a personality like his to even think about solving.

[7962]

23. Then whatever happened to that raise in age you yapped so much about??

Bullshit
Or maybe hes going to run in and confront the shooters

[bluevoter4life]

26. He promises to do "everything"

Except actually doing "something". Did somebody stop praying?

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Ok, that's over, now off to a weekend of golf.

How I hate this POS.

[Freethinker65]

29. Now watch this drive

[Afromania]

30. Seriously, get the hell out of here. He had a chance the time before the time before and

the time before that. Does this piece of human refuse remember how he slid on his belly to the NRA after Parkland? Yea? no? whatever, fuck this guy and fuck his illegitimate words. I'm offended by the audacity of his statement when he made it clear he's not about shit and isn't going to do shit and isn't going to do shit.

[snacker]

31. I call BS

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

32. "I promise to get

war contractors in every school for security(I know a guy)..They will sling ARs around their necks and be a terrorizing sight to every kid from that day on...Frankly though, I prefer it that way bc you all need to be punished for picking on me. It's better for me if your'e all scared. May the god make it so."

[CanonRay]

33. I trust him to do what's right!

[Cattledog]

34. Total BS. He doesn't give a damn about dead kids.

[PSPS]

36. But he likes attractive live female kids, like Bill Gates' daughter.

[Judi Lynn]

51. He likes attractive live female kids who don't get shot. n/t

[yallerdawg]

35. Did he promise "American carnage?"

I can't remember.

[EricMaundry]

37. Sure, Don. Whatever you fucking say.

[duforsure]

38. Just another liar

That'll say whatever he thinks will settle people down, but this will not work anymore. Another reminded how trump and the republican party are covered in blood with every shooting that happens. Why? Because they worship money over our kids.

[Yonnie3]

39. He has a "sad"

I have an angry.

"Everyone must work together at every level of government to keep our children safe." Why do I feel these are hollow words. Have we heard them before perchance?

[Turbineguy]

40. Everything.

That's nice.

[Initech]

41. HEY FUCKING ASSHOLE!!! YOU LITERALLY STOOD IN FRONT OF THE NRA...

AND TOLD THEM THEIR RIGHT TO OWN GUNS WAS UNDER ATTACK!!! YOU SAID THAT PEOPLE WERE COMING FOR THEIR AR15s and AK47s!!! AND THAT WAS JUST LAST FUCKING WEEK!!!! Don't think we won't forget that!!!! The hypocritical bullshit on display right now is insane!!!

[oasis]

42. Rep. Ted Deutch (D) Florida (Stoneman Douglas high district) reminded

us how Trump called lawmakers around a conference table after the tragedy in Parkman and accused lawmakers of "being afraid of the NRA". Deutch underlined his comments by saying that the president, nor congress have done little to nothing since.

[Nitram]

43. What he means is, "everything short of doing something."

[Jim__]

44. Of course he will. But, now is not the time to talk about guns. Let's not politicize this. - n/t

[keithbvadu2]

46. Why is Trump 'allowing' violence done to our students?

Why is Trump 'allowing' violence done to our students?

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

[Chakaconcarne]

47. Resign

[No-Bozos]

49. Give me the money

Trump will come up with a solution once he figures out how to profit from it, something like a MAGA hat with"Thoughts and Prayers" written on it.

[Lanius]

50. Like he promised to lower prescription drug costs, increase wages, introduce term limits for

Congress, bring back manufacturing jobs, not cut SS and Medicaid and boost GDP to 4-5 percent? Don't hold your breath.

[Blue Owl]

52. He just spoke at that NRA meeting a few weeks ago

As far as I'm concerned that's enabling the next school shooting...

[appleannie1943]

53. Before or after he shows his tax returns?

[Ferrets are Cool]

54. He opened his mouth....thus, another lie spewed from it. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

55. Betsy DeVos will help him

The only thing stiffer than a stable genius is her hair

[katmondoo]

56. Must make N.Korea really ready to give up everything for our leader

N. Korea will not hold the summit, they will humiliate him.

[rtracey]

57. hmmm too bad

Too bad Ted Cruz's kids were not killed at this school, or Paul Ryan's, or Mitch McConnell's grandkids, etc,etc etc. Yup this sounds horrendous, I never wish ANYONE to be murdered or hurt, but it seems the only way something gets done, it needs to happen to a family member of one of our "leaders"..... "if the family of a politician dies on a faulty bridge, I guarantee that bridge will be fixed fast"

[truthisfreedom]

59. Then resign, and take your idiot administration with you.

[DeminPennswoods]

60. Yeah, sure

[marble falls]

61. "Everything"? Bullshit! Not even anything.

[briv1016]

63. They're just going to repeat the same shit about arming teachers.

Maybe threaten to fire or dock the pay of those that refuse.
