Wednesday, President Trump hosted a listening session on gun violence and school safety at the White House.
It was raw, organic, and powerful. (VIDEOS BELOW)
President Trump is a leader, and he’s going to take action to protect and make America safe.
During the session, he listened to concerns and suggestions as the open talk began into a possible starting point for taking action against gun violence.
The tone and tenor of the session was important.
All of the students spoke with great compassion, while holding back their tears. They also offered solutions. The meeting didn’t just carry emotion, but also rationality. It wasn’t a shouting match or placing blame. It was to find an end. (VIDEOS BELOW)
One man who spoke up was the father of a girl killed in the Parkland shooting.
He addressed President Trump saying, “It should have been one school shooting, and we should have fixed it. And I’m pissed. Because my daughter… I’m not going to see again.”
This was an intense moment heard by everyone. (VIDEOS BELOW)

President Trump said, “Let’s Arm The Teachers” as he proposed a solution.
Thank you President Trump for caring about the safety of America. All Americans.
THE WAR OF VIOLENCE ON OUR SCHOOL SITES HAS BEEN DECLARED; WE ALL HAVE TO TAKE EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND IMPLEMENT A RAPID RESPONSE PLAN TO CIRCUMVENT ANY FUTURE ATTACKS. ANOTHER SAD AND TRAGIC EVENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED OR AT LEAST CURTAILED. KEY PEOPLE KNEW AHEAD OF TIME AND REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION..THEY ARE JUST AS GUILTY. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS WAR ON OUR SCHOOLS THAT LACK SAFETY. THEY NEED TO EDUCATE THE PEOPLE, THE SCHOOLS, WORKPLACES, OF THE SIGNS OF INSTABILITY EARLY ON. THERE HAS TO BE IMMEDIATE FEDERAL FUNDING THAT CAN COME FROM THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE EVIL PLANNED MURDERHOOD AND GIVEN TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TO PROVIDE ARMED SECURITY AT ALL SCHOOL SITES..GUN SCREENING LAWS HAVE TO BE MORE STRINGENT. THERE IS NO WAY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PURCHASE ANY TYPE OF WEAPON. THOSE THAT ENABLED THAT TOO HAPPEN ARE JUST AS GUILTY..
