I was totally astounded on Thursday morning to hear President Trump blather on, again, about our innocent children and how our country is in mourning after the school massacre in Florida.
Remember, this is the man who said, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters." And also the man who spoke to the 2017 NRA annual meeting and said: "You came through for me, and I am going to come through for you."
This is not leadership. Trump is, however, leading us in a spiral to the bottom—a moral vacuum devoid of any common sense for the dignity and safety of our people.
Until the American people say "enough is enough" we are all responsible for the carnage that besets our young people in urban cities and small towns across our country.
