A Trump and Pence weekly newsletter laments the horror of the Parkland school shooting that killed 17 people. And then it then ends with a “contribute” button so people can give money to re-elect Trump and Pence.
The newsletter, paid for by “Donald J. Trump for President Inc,” was emailed Friday to supporters. It said,
“President Trump — Week 57: Safer Schools… President Trump and First Lady Melania, visited with victims and first responders following the shooting and met incredible people they will never forget.
The President is now engaging in an important national conversation about school safety and ways to prevent any future attacks. President Trump is taking steps towards banning gun bump stocks and strengthening background checks for gun purchasers. The President has made his intent very clear: ‘making our schools and our children safer will be our top priority.’”
It is accompanied by a photo of Trump and the first lady at the hospital bedside of a Parkland shooting survivor wrapped in bandages. Appalling. Yes, but not shocking from this administration.
Teachers have been slamming Trump’s recommendation that 20% of teachers be armed in schools so they could shoot it out with attackers.
