This auto-cued response by Trump shows just how concerned he really is about the 250 mass shootings in the 7 months of 2019 let alone the ones to come before the year’s end. Let alone the number of deaths still to come before 2020. Heaven help America if he wins another term (ODT)

‘May God bless those in Toledo’: Trump names wrong Ohio city as shooting site

Donald Trump is a vile demagogue whose racism and xenophobia have made the United States a dramatically more dangerous and threatening place.

“manifesto” echoed Trump’s anti-immigrant hate speech, CNN’s Jake Tapper listed Republicans who had declined to to go on his State of the Union program to discuss the mass shooting in Texas—and another that killed nine people in Dayton, Ohio. CNN would later report that 49 of 50 Republican lawmakers declined to appear on air to discuss the shootings.

The president griped about the Internet, video games, and mental illness. He rehashed wrongheaded arguments against gun control—with a line about how “mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun.” (Hillary Clinton corrected the spin from the man she defeated by 2.9 million votes in 2016 with a tweet noting that “People suffer from mental illness in every other country on earth; people play video games in virtually every other country on earth. The difference is the guns.”)
