The Intellectually Inert Trump Blames Democrats For Lack Of Gun Control Laws

Our sorry excuse for a president continues to make a global fool of himself by blaming the Democrats for the absence of gun control legislation while denying being in bed with the NRA:

Trump Blames Democrats For Lack Of Gun Control Laws https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-blames-democrats-lack-gun-050306834.html

"As gun violence survivors and others demand stricter gun control laws in wake of Wednesday’s mass shooting at a Florida high school, President Donald Trump has found a scapegoat to blame for the lack of reform: the Democrats.

In a tweet on Saturday night, Trump questioned why Democratic lawmakers had not passed “gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate” during Barack Obama’s presidential tenure. They “didn’t want to,” Trump claimed, “and now they just talk!...In a powerful speech, Emma Gonzalez, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, excoriated Trump for accepting millions from the National Rifle Association.

“If the president wants to come up to me and tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy and ... how nothing is going to be done about it, I’m going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association,” the 18-year-old said. “It doesn’t matter because I already know. Thirty million dollars. And divided by the number of gunshot victims in the United States in the one and a half months in 2018 alone, that comes out to $5,800. Is that how much these people are worth to you, Trump?”

“To every politician who is taking donations from the NRA, shame on you,” Gonzalez continued.”

During the last presidential election the NRA reportedly spent $11.4 million supporting Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign!

Trump running true to form:

Trump lashes out at FBI over its handling of school shooting suspect tip: ‘Very sad’ http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-essential-washington-updates-trump-lashes-out-at-fbi-over-its-1518930547-htmlstory.html

"President Trump has consistently pushed back against the idea of Russia meddling in the election that put him in power, dismissing that claim as a hoax and an affront to the legitimacy of his victory.

Now, he’s suggesting that the federal investigation into Russian interference has distracted the FBI from performing other work.

In a tweet Saturday night, Trump appeared to blame the bureau for failing to prevent a shooting at a South Florida high school that killed 17 people on Wednesday.

“This is not acceptable,” he wrote."

Trump must really be heart broken over those poor kids gunned down in Florida:

"Donald Trump showed exactly how much he doesn’t care about what happened at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday when he decided to go straight to a Mar-a-Lago party right after visiting with the families of the victims, according to Mediaite.com."
