'We're on our own, America': Internet slams Trump's 'not looking good' response to school shooting

‘We’re on our own, America’: The internet slams Trump’s ‘not looking good’ response to Texas school shooting

Multiple people were killed Friday morning at a Texas high school — and social media media users trashed President Donald Trump for blithely tweeting his thoughts about the latest massacre.

A shooter opened fire at Santa Fe High School in suburban Houston, and the president offered some superficial thoughts and prayers on Twitter.




Other social media users were appalled at his indifferent response.

a while ago that he needed to respond quickly to emergencies, so that Americans will know he stands with them.

Now, Trump responds SO quickly, that his brain isn't even turned on yet when he starts to tweet.

get the red out

Clearly Evangelicals want this. They want random mass murders of children. There is no other way to intemperate what they are saying.

One motive might be to drive more parents to home school their kids, and Evangelicals produce most of the materials available for home schooling. So it could be a "recruitment tool".

How trump and republicans are ignoring gun laws killing our kids from mass shooting, and it'll continue to remind everyone why we need to vote out trump and every republican in office out, or this will continue to happen. The blood is on their hands again.
