Trump Tells Iowa To “Get Over It” After Last Week’s School Shooting

Former President Donald Trump expressed his condolences for the victims of final week’s Iowa college capturing after which urged them to “get over it.”

“It’s a very terrible thing that happened,” Trump mentioned at a marketing campaign occasion in Iowa on Friday. “And it’s just horrible to see that happening. It’s just horrible. It’s so surprising to see it here, but you have to get over it. You have to move forward. We have to move forward. But to the relatives and all of the people who are so devastated right now to a point they can’t breathe, they can’t live, we are with you all the way.”

Trump, who’s working for president on this yr’s election, referred to as himself “pro-gun” in the course of the NRA’s annual assembly in April and vowed to be probably the most “pro-Second Amendment” president ever. A month later, Trump spoke on the NRA’s conference in Dallas and proposed that lecturers ought to carry weapons in an effort to discourage mass shooters.

“There is no sign more inviting to a mass killer than a sign that declares that this school is a gun-free zone,” Trump mentioned at the Dallas conference.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 5 mass shootings in 2024 and eight college shootings.
