The former president’s comments come a day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School
A day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines, Donald Trump returned to the state at a campaign event and told residents that they “have to get over it.”
During his speech at Sioux Center, Iowa, the former president gave his thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, emphasizing that “we’re really with you as much as anybody can be.” After stating the tragedy was “terrible” and “horrible,” Trump insisted: “We have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward.”
Trump: Get over the school shooting.
Also Trump (who raped a woman): Execute all five of those innocent men who didn’t rape a woman even though they’re innocent.
It’s easy when you don’t care about anyone else, right Donnie?
Not just him, though.
This is one of those things where he’s going to get praised by an alarming number of people who have been thinking this for years but didn’t think they could say it.
Trump has done an incredible job of clearing the air of all the bullshit arguments. The problem is and has always been that a large portion of our population are terrible people. That’s it. That’s the long and short of it.
Well, get over 2021 election then.
2020 election*, But the insurrection that happened 3 years ago today was in 2021 though.
And the lawsuits that have basically put him out of business in NY
Ladies and gentlemen: the 45th president of the United States.
Does anyone else remember when that used to be an honorable title? This idiot sounds like everyone’s least favorite uncle at Thanksgiving.
when was it honorable?
When things were OK enough that we all could zone out about politics.
Retrospectively, that was a terrible idea.
I get the joke but also - when was that?
I didn’t really pay attention during the Clinton or Bush or Obama administrations. I was kinda young and nothing affected me directly.
But like I said, it was stupid of me.
Back when other countries weren’t laughing at us.
“Get over it,” from the same guy who’s still butt hurt over losing. Got it! People losing their child, while other kids experience the trauma of the event: “get over it!” Same dude losing an election: “we need to stop the steal.”
I wonder how many articles could be summed up in a single sentence by just adding “…because Trump is an actual monster.” to the end of the headline.
Republicans will complain when we say they’re fine with school shootings happening, but I bet none of them will talk about him saying this.
They also forget that he’s the only president who has advocated banning guns completely.
Fuckface 45, everyone
That campaign strategy worked in Uvalde.
Is he talking about those “post-birth abortions” I keep hearing about on Faux News? Wonder if those folks can point out the exact moment fetuses and babies transition to human targets.
The republican party has always been ok with extremely late term abortions. They just want the abortions to be executed after the 30th trimester or so.
And they will just keep voting for / backing him…
Just sweep up the bodies and put a mailbox there
We need to be dunking on him not offering solutions for school shootings.
Take 30 seconds to watch this at 2x speed.
The headline shouldn’t imply callousness (“get over it!”) to steam people up about callousness (“what a jerk!”) and allow for distracting responses (“~dishonest paraphrasing~ fake news”). It should focus on ineffectiveness to get people discussing solutions.
Rolling Stone has headlines good enough to be reported by others:
I demand they stick to their higher standard :)
To move forward - to another mass-shooting? It’s not a single isolated issue. It’s an ongoing pandemic of people with guns raging and killing others. That lasts years and happens like every other day. Each person lost is a tragedy, and there are plenty of them at each attack. You can’t just shake it off, motherfucker. It won’t solve itself, it would continue. It doesn’t concern you because none of your family, none of your rich sponsors get touched by that. Eventually, it would happen. And you’d act surprised, wouldn’t you? It’s just you don’t care about others, so you can move forward and ignore these deaths like they didn’t happen.
