Trump: Las Vegas Shooting In Many Ways A Miracle Due To Police Response

[Grammy23]

15. Miracle was the wrong and unfortunate choice of words.

A bonified miracle would have been for the bullets to fall harmlessly to the ground. Was the performance by EMS and LE outstanding? Absolutely yes. Did ordinary citizens caught up in that horror exhibit heroic actions? Certainly, without question. But for the professionals, they were doing their jobs, the very things they were trained to do. People in those jobs routinely practice and run through drills for such a scenario. They hope they never have to use the training, but if they do, they are ready.

So no, it was not a miracle. It was hard work, dedicated professionals doing their jobs in an exemplary fashion. Ordinary citizens stepped up to the situation to help each other. They proved beyond all doubt that we can and will pull together when necessary. Unfortunately, our "fearless leader" would rather divide us into camps ready to fight one another instead of pulling together. We need to push back against his tactic of separating us into warring factions and reject his rhetoric of hate. His sad attempts to give words of comfort will, no doubt, be followed shortly by some outrageous statement to remind us we are "at war" with one another.
