The former president’s comments come a day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School
A day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines, Donald Trump returned to the state at a campaign event and told residents that they “have to get over it.”
During his speech at Sioux Center, Iowa, the former president gave his thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, emphasizing that “we’re really with you as much as anybody can be.” After stating the tragedy was “terrible” and “horrible,” Trump insisted: “We have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward.”
Ladies and gentlemen: the 45th president of the United States.
Does anyone else remember when that used to be an honorable title? This idiot sounds like everyone’s least favorite uncle at Thanksgiving.
when was it honorable?
When things were OK enough that we all could zone out about politics.
Retrospectively, that was a terrible idea.
I get the joke but also - when was that?
I didn’t really pay attention during the Clinton or Bush or Obama administrations. I was kinda young and nothing affected me directly.
But like I said, it was stupid of me.
Back when other countries weren’t laughing at us.
