Mental illness, video games, ā€œthe internetā€ and letā€™s throw in sex trafficking(?) for good measure. He did say "white supremacist " so I guess there is that. But this was for the most part a string of right wing talking points. He brought up red flag laws, which might make NRA groups shriek, but overall, useless. And odds are he will contradict this within 48 hours. Oh, and letā€™s make sure to execute them after the attacks. Yeah, thatā€™ll work. :face_vomiting:

Live, or a Tweet-blurt?

Either way, I bet the vigor with which he condemned that was about 2 on a scale of 10.

He said Toledo? WTF?

He doesnā€™t give a ratā€™s ass about any of this. Heartless PoS.

Itā€™s only 200 miles or so away. Thatā€™s closer than heā€™s ever been to Dayton.

In light of recent events, hereā€™s a throwback to a few years ago when the GOP was upset with stores pushing back against open carry in their Texas locations

Trump: ā€œMental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun.ā€

This must have sounded good in someoneā€™s head (the NRA, most likely) but itā€™s hollow and meaningless. Nobody is saying that guns are shooting people by themselves like a Warner Brothers cartoon, and a trigger needs a gun to function, you absolute empty turd.

He also pledged to change mental-health laws to ā€œbetter identify mentally disturbed individualsā€ and floated the radical solution of subjecting them to ā€œinvoluntary confinementā€ if theyā€™re a seen as a risk.

So rather than deal with the thing that white Americans use to cause these mass shootings ā€“ military-grade weaponry ā€“ he wants to change laws to lock up ā€˜mentally disturbed peopleā€™ and make immigration laws tougher. Got it.

Iā€™m sure his buddy Putin can give him some updates on who would qualify as ā€œmentally ill.ā€ The Soviets raised that to an artform!

I think the absence of ā€œblack on black crimeā€ was an oversight

he is so full of shit:

The president said he would ā€œshine light on the dark recesses of the internetā€ to stop mass murderers before they begin and criticized ā€œgruesome video games.ā€ā€¦ā€œMental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun,ā€ he said.

so, the statement about racism, bigotry, and white supremacyā€¦

was just lip service.

as usual.

edit/ the hypocrisy and cognitive dissonace is just mindblowing; about games and only about games

It is too easy today for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence

My sister who works in the Farm Credit world says banks and credit bureaus are drastically cutting back on loans to farmers now. Inevitably making matters worse in the coming months or years.

My guess is trump will tank it all only to try and initiate a tariff deal right before the election. Farming casualties be damned.

He mildly condemns white supremacy while at the same time abdicating any responsibility onto other things (social media, video games, mental health, illegal immigration).

Given last yearā€™s YouTube HQ shooting, I have a feeling that few will find any humor in this statement.

ā€œThe escalation of the U.S.-China trade war puts us in a place where itā€™s almost impossible to calculate the collateral damage,ā€ (a market strategist) said. Thatā€™s likely to continue to cast a cloud over the market unless there are signs of a de-escalation."

Thanks trump!
