Following the 8th largest mass shooting in American history, and 18th school shooting in 2018 (and one-per-week since 2013), President Trump is set to address a mourning nation faced with an epidemic that is perhaps more of a problem than opioids.
President Trump tweeted his condolences this morning and called for flags to fly at half-mast…
My prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida shooting. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 14, 2018
And then addressed the actual shooter’s situation…
So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!

President Trump is due to speak at 11ET…
