With each mass shooting, President Donald Trump and his allies continue a familiar mantra: “It’s not about guns; it is a mental health issue.” If that is what they believe, then why do Trump and his allies continue to push for the “repeal and replace” of the Affordable Care Act? Each of the efforts they have proposed would cut funding for individuals to get mental health treatment, and eliminate funding for many mental health programs. Once again, the real victim in all this is the truth.
