Trump pushing the idea of armed teachers again, in new tweet

Link to tweet

Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again - a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.

Do I have only have a loaded gun in my desk or do I have to take someone out?

This is lunacy.

In other words, don't look for me to push, or Congress to take up, any meaningful changes.

Inevitably, there will be more school shootings (and other massacres).

Of course, we won't do anything significant to make any difference.

But it is all about theater with Trump.

Next time there is a shooting, Trump will be out there saying it is all because we didn't arm those teachers....I told you so......
