Trump The Lionhearted Speaks At Governors Meeting
If I hadn’t heard this live, I would have thought this was taken out of context. But I heard it, live and I nearly burst out laughing. It is completely accurate. President Trump called the behavior of the on-site officer “disgusting and followed up by boldly saying “I think I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon”. Of course he would be bringing the Secret Service with him, so maybe that’s what he was really referring to…at least that’s probably how Sarah Huckabee Sanders will spin it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump told the nation’s governors on Monday that he would have rushed in unarmed to aid students and teachers during the deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school.
“You don’t know until you’re tested but I think I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too,” Trump said at a White House meeting.
He again found fault with the officers who didn’t stop the gunman who carried out the massacre. “They really weren’t exactly Medal of Honor winners,” he added.
Under pressure to act to stem gun violence on school grounds, Trump solicited input from the state chief executives during meetings Monday at the White House. The governors are in Washington for their annual winter meeting.
“Our nation is heartbroken. We continue to mourn the loss of so many precious and innocent young lives,” Trump said during a meeting with 39 governors. “But we’ll turn our grief into action. We have to have action.”
Seventeen students and teachers were killed in a Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, sparking a public outcry for new gun-control measures as well as action to improve school safety.
