People in France are upset about Trumps remarks about someone having a gun could have prevented a massacre in 2015. Trump's stupidity is clearly seen. Yes, the NRA might be important to Trump, but the memory of over 130 people killed by terrorists is far more important. Trump's view is totally selfish and is trying to please the NRA in a speech.
...Trump has forgotten who he represents. The United States of America....not Donald Trump and the NRA. He thinks he knows, and he knows nothing. This one speech proves it. Why would Trump go there?. We know the answer. But this one speech embarrasses the rest of us. Trump does not know the specifics enough to make any statement on that massacre. He has read very little about this, and has not asked those who know the answer for information on that event
..The President of the United States has access to an incredible amount of information about important events. Especially events like the massacre in France. But it is obvious, Trump did not ask anyone. First, should he bring up this at all? Second, is this view, that one person could have stopped this, true tot he facts? Third, what would bringing this up in the NRA context do to relations with an ally? Trump does not care. All he cares about is his view and trying to please the NRA. I hope he apologizes. But he doesn't know the meaning of the word "apology." He is a lying stupid fool who just disgraced, "The United States of America" to please the NRA.

No person with an IQ over 12 would want him in charge of a lemonade stand let alone this.

They are only thinking about gun profits. Lives do not count.

Hellish still, but Im afraid to think hes hit rock bottom. Again.
Whenever he hits rock bottom, he manages to blast his way into yet a deeper cavern.

(62,444 posts)It wasnt actually planted. But since Trump wanted a photo op, the root ball was wrapped in plastic. The plant is in quarantine:

Over several subsequent tweets, Araud sparred with users who pointed out that quarantining a tree after planting it was the opposite of a precaution and that Macron's oak could possibly have already transferred European blight and parasites to the US's flora including the White House's pricey plants. The diplomat wrote, more than once, that officials had packed the roots in plastic.
...
On Monday, an official in Macron's office told reporters that Trump had insisted on planting the tree last week despite knowing full well that it would have to be uprooted. "It was actually a special favor from Trump to France to be able to plant the tree the day of the president's visit," the official said. "Don't worry," he added, "the tree is doing very well."
