Private Bone Spurs Would've Gone After Florida Shooter Without A Gun
That's right people Private Bone Spurs the who man received five deferments from service in Vietnam due to bone spurs in his foot. As which foot that was, he's unable to remember. A man who once said in an interview that avoiding catching stds was his own private Vietnam. Yes, that guy, known as Donald Trump would've gone into Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school without a weapon and confronted the shooter who was carrying an AR-15 the civilian equivalent of an M16. You know, the assault rifle formerly used by the U.S. Army.
Private Bone Spurs has some kind of magical or superpower how else could one explain the utter stupidity of that pronouncement.,
Trump was referring to criticism against law enforcement officials, including an armed guard at the school who failed to swiftly respond to the gun massacre in Parkland, Florida, earlier this month.
Donald Trump a leader? That's like saying Baghdad Bob always tells the truth while lying out of his ass.
Private Bone Spurs has some kind of magical or superpower how else could one explain the utter stupidity of that pronouncement.,
President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that he would have personally fought off the school shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School even while not armed, despite the fact that he previously deferred military service due to bone spurs in his foot.
“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that too,” he said during a White House event with the nation’s governors.
When later asked to clarify Trump’s comments, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that he didn’t actually mean that he would “run in” to the school.
“I think he was just stating that as a leader, he would have stepped in and hopefully been able to help,” she said.

Watch: Mother of slain Florida student screams at Trump live on camera — and CNN’s Brooke Baldwin falls apart
Mother Lori Alhadeff lost her daughter Alyssa Wednesday after Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old man, killed 17 students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In an interview with CNN Thursday she screamed into the camera demanding President Donald Trump do something.
“How? How do we allow a gunman to come into our children’s school?” Alhadeff asked. “How do they get through security? What security is there? There’s no metal detectors. The gunman, a crazy person, just walks right into the school, knocks on the window of my child’s door and starts shooting, shooting her and killing her!”
She then turned her anger to the president.
“President Trump, you say what can you do?” she asked, responding to Trump’s statement earlier. “You can stop the guns from getting into these children’s hands! Put metal detectors at every entrance to the schools. What can you do? You can do a lot! This is not fair to our families and our children go to school and have to get killed! I just spent the last two hours putting the burial arrangements for my daughters funeral, who is 14! Fourteen! President Trump, please do something! Do something. action! We need it now! These kids need now!”
