The US president also told the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas that a “once very prestigious hospital” in London was like a “war zone” because of knife crime.
Pile of crud went after England as well, isn’t he going there soon? That visit isn’t going to end well.
Yes., And they have a right to disagree (though I think we are talking about the french government and media, which is not necessarily the same as the french people). Just as Trump had a right to state his position, which is at least arguably correct.
Guess who’s right to speech the American left will support?
What Trump said was true. He didn’t disrespect the victims, he was outing the French government’s decision regarding gun control and they were just plain butthurt and used the victims for their own political purpose. That’s disrespecting the victims. Does anybody believe that anyone of the deceased wouldn’t wish that Trump’s scenario was true?
That pretty much sums it up. We shouldn’t be surprised at anything that comes out of his mouth. The only way he could be consoling if if he reads what is written for him - but no, he thinks he’s smarter than his advisor and ad libs with his usual callous nonsense.
He’s right but that’s not a good argument for relaxing gun control in France. They haven’t gone over the tipping point like us yet. Have police more thoroughly search people going into stadiums or something. Having an armed population like the United States would be way too extreme of a solution to this issue, and bring a lot of problems of its own.
That aside, I do not see French national leaders making fun of us when we deal with the consequences of our approach to this issue. It would be nice if the President could do the same for them.
This is as disrespectful as a vegan commenting on the death of a meat eater to cardiac arrest. Understandably, the close kin would not want to hear that noise, because there are less extreme solutions to heart disease than eating leaves for the rest of one’s life and there are better ways to deal with mass shooting than adding guns.
