“Mental illness and hatred pull the trigger, not the gun,” he said.
President Donald Trump condemned white supremacy on Monday, calling for Americans to unite around several proposals to help identify and prevent mass shootings. “In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy,” Trump said. “These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America, hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul.” The president signaled support for stronger laws regulating the Internet, social media, and violent video games and supported the concept of improved mental health and “red flag” laws, allowing relatives to recommend court- ordered seizures of their firearms. We must recognize that the Internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalize disturbed minds and perform demented acts,” he said. “We must shine a light on the dark recesses of the Internet and stop mass murders before they start.” Social media, he said, was an “evil contagion” for hatred. The president also blamed violent and “gruesome and grisly” video games for contributing to the shootings. “It is too easy today for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence,” he said. “We must stop or substantially reduce this and it has to begin immediately.” Trump also called for stronger mental health laws that would help “better identify” mentally disturbed individuals capable of mass shootings. He proposed that new laws could ensure that individuals suffering from mental health could “not only get treatment but when necessary, involuntary confinement.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...olitics-latest https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...ass-shootings/ |

Yes, and what is giving these mentally ill people the ability to kill vast numbers of people in minutes? Guns.
Has he explained why he's not doing more for mental health? (Beyond locking people up in asylums). Last edited by Marsh.; 05-08-2019 at 05:11 PM. |

Unfortunately, a lot of mental health facilities in the USA have closed down over the years, so people with mental problems are more commonly on the streets without treatment, so of course there's more chance of them causing trouble.
Social media is toxic, no-one can deny that. |

Exactly this, and with no gun control it's easier for these people to get their hands on weaponry allowing them to mass murder with very little effort.

If video games, social media and the internet were to blame then attacks of this frequency would be widespread around the world but these attacks are a US problem and one that's festered through inactivity because too many politicians are scared of the NRA. Trump is just spewing out the typical right wing/boomer scapegoats that always get blamed instead of dealing with the fact that the level of gun violence in the US is a problem unique to the US and that if things ever are to change, the laws regarding guns must change. It'll never happen though, republicans and far too much of the right wing are more concerned with doing what's easy rather than what's right.
Hate speech and rhetoric spewed out from the top has more of an effect on would-be terrorists then ****ing Fortnite. World leaders cannot speak out of term, they must be careful with the language they use or they'll inspire maniacs to commit atrocities. Trump has spent years demonising minorities and laughing along with extreme elements and that has an effect in causing extremists to feel validated in their actions, to inspire them to take murderous action. |

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

Of course he'll blame anyone and anything other than himself.
The last time I checked none of these things were calling Hispanic people “invaders“ and “rapists” and lets be honest here, we can't actually absolve the blame from the actual shooters either.
