Trump criticizes armed officer who didn’t stop Florida school shooter

Then Trump asked the crowd which priority they’d pick if they only had a choice of one. “It’s been a year of promises made and promises kept”, he said.

For as much time as is spent trying to figure out what’s inside President Trump’s head, what’s on top of it has attracted less significant scrutiny but a fair bit of curiosity.

Trump is speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at the annual gathering of conservative activist and playing to the crowd.

Pence also garnered big applause when he noted Trump’s retreat from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. I think they ought to be looking at that. The deputy, Scott Peterson, heard the shots but remained outside the building for four minutes and did not attempt to stop the shooter.

“I try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks”, he was cited as saying.

“Because of your support in this past year, it’s been a year of action, it’s been a year of remarkable results”, Pence said.

The White House is inviting a prominent gun safety advocate to a meeting next week.

As for arming teachers, Trump said, the US needs “people that can take care of our children” in schools.

The hallways were filled with attendees adorned with Trump campaign hats and buttons. And they work and work and work. You know what? Hey, we probably have some Democrats that want to come over.

“He’s the president, this should be about him”, said Lisa Blankenship, a real estate agent from San Diego.

Trump dominates the conference, as the speakers’ list shows.

Pence didn’t broach any LGBT topics explicitly during his remarks or even commend Trump for his commitment to “religious freedom”, which is code in the circles of social conservatives to mean anti-LGBT discrimination.

“Not surprised the NRA reeled President Trump back in”, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.

The White House has said Trump will soon lay out a package of school and gun safety proposals for Congress to consider. “I’ve spoken to them often in the last two days”.

“Who was that? I don’t know”, Trump said.

He launched into the “snake” fable that formed a major portion of his campaign stump speech, glistening with sweat as he warned against accepting immigrants he characterized as violent criminals. “It’s what we’ve seen in European movements for years”.

At CPAC, the President also expressed his support for more efforts to put mental health information into the current instant background check system for gun buyers, and said it’s time for police and authorities to do more about people who have mental health issues. “I want people coming into this country based on merit”.
