    Just for a bit more context. It was a 17-year-old who killed an 11-year-old and wounded seven others before killing himself. Trumps entire comment was

    It’s just horrible – so surprising to see it here. But we have to get over it. We have to move forward.

    Not even “thoughts and prayers”. Not even “mental health is a problem”. Literally, “get over it” not even two days after.

      Ah, you see, people were talking about the school shooting and not Trump. So since Trump had zero ideas or desire to stop the school shootings, but an intense desire to be talked about, he told his supporters to get over it and start talking about him again.
