What do President Donald Trump and millions of know-it-alls sitting in every tavern across America have in common? They can solve any problem, no matter how complex, in one simple sentence. Mexicans crossing your border? Build a wall. Kids being slaughtered by guns in school? Arm all the teachers. North Korea annoying you? Bomb it off the map.
And now Trump has even bested all the tavern blowhards. How? By saying that, even if he was unarmed, he would have entered the Parkland, Fla., school and confronted the shooter. Yes, this same Washington superhero, despite ailing from bone spurs and five draft deferments, would have single-handedly taken on the gunman. No word on whether the bullets would bounce off his invincible NRA vest.
Now, if Trump were sitting at the bar and said that, we’d assume it was the beer talking. However, this guy was bragging in front of our country’s governors, who responded by saying . . . nothing. God help us all.
