President Donald Trump said on Friday that children who are fearful of going back to school in the wake of two mass shootings should “really study hard” and “someday you’ll grow up and maybe be president of the Opinion States, or do something else that’s fantastic.”
“They have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about,” Trump enlarged, in response to a question from a reporter before he left the White House to head to his golf club in New Jersey.
The president’s criticisms came after two back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, over the weekend. Thirty-one people were pained and several were injured.
Trump said on Friday that the White House was in “constant contact” with shape governments and that “they are really doing a great job.”

“I think we have a very good system right now,” Trump said, “but that doesn’t indicate that there’s not going to be some crazy person. But that’s what we want to do – we want to take the guns out of the jurisdictions of crazy, demented, sick people.”
Law-enforcement officials have not yet determined the motive behind the Dayton shooting. Specialists suspect that the El Paso shooter was fueled by anti-immigrant rage after they discovered a racist manifesto he posted online before long before carrying out the attack, in which he echoed much of the president’s incendiary rhetoric toward immigrants.
There is no affirmation that either of the suspects had a history of mental illness.
