‘I’ve never been so unimpressed by a person in my life’: Parkland shooting survivor delivers a biting critique of her phone call with Trump

A student who survived the mass shooting last week at a high school in Parkland, Florida, had some terse words for President Donald Trump, who she said called her on the phone while she was recovering in the hospital.

Samantha Fuentes told The New York Times she did not feel comforted by Trump, who she said seemed insincere during their phone conversation.

“He said he heard that I was a big fan of his, and then he said, ‘I’m a big fan of yours, too.’ I’m pretty sure he made that up,” Fuentes told The Times in a story published Thursday night.

“Talking to the president, I’ve never been so unimpressed by a person in my life,” Fuentes said. “He didn’t make me feel better in the slightest.”

Fuentes told The Times that Trump called the gunman a “sick puppy” and said “‘oh boy, oh boy, oh boy,’ like seven times.”

Trump has struggled to show empathy after tragedies that have happened since he took office.

That became evident in September when he told people affected by Hurricane Harvey to “have a good time,” in October when he threw paper towels into a crowd of survivors of the massive storm that ravaged Puerto Rico, and later that month when the widow of one of four US Army Special Forces troops killed in an ambush in Niger said the president told her, “He knew what he signed up for.”

The conversation around what some have described as Trump’s empathy deficit resurfaced on Wednesday when news photographers captured images of personal notes Trump held during a White House listening session with students and family members affected by school shootings, including last week’s. Critics have said the notecard suggests the president needed a reminder to show compassion.

1. TEACHERS with GUNS and a Higher threat to the lives of Black and brown Children

In addition to the OBVIOUS threat this would pose for everyone on campus, THIS would pose an even BIGGER threat to the lives of EVERY Black and brown person on campus (students and staff alike).

If I were a parent of Black (or brown) kids, I’d take my kids out of the school system altogether and do Home-schooling. No way I’d trust Black or brown kids to be safe at school. No way.

2. The psychological and emotional toll it will undoubtedly take on ANY teacher who actually ends up shooting someone, especially if the person shot is innocent and/or ends up DEAD. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say – my guess is – for most teachers (like most people), shooting another human-being would be an incredibly TRAUMATIC undertaking even when “justified.” Coming to grips with the reality that you’ve actually just killed someone!?! I would imagine is even more dramatizing.

I can see a mass Exodus of teachers leaving that profession with a quickness realizing that THAT is simply NOT something they would even want to contemplate.

[…]

And let the Church say Amen!

Why of course this idea is INSANE! After all it was “thunk up” by the NRA and then sold to Donald as a “great idea”!?! You really cannot make this stuff up….smh!

Seriously. We’re in a world of trouble here folks with the dangerous fools we have running this country. And we’re stuck with those fools until 2020 when Hopefully….Prayerfully….WE (the sane people of America) THROW the whole dangerous lot OUT of office.
