„Ég skil ykkur,“ stóð á tossalita sem Donald Trump Bandaríkjaforseti hélt á á fundi sínum í gær með þeim sem komust lífs af úr skólaárásinni í Flórída. Samfélagsmiðlar hafa logað eftir að mynd af listanum var birt.
Trump bauð nemendum úr Stoneman Douglas-framhaldsskólanum til fundar við sig í Hvíta húsinu í gær. Á fundinum voru einnig ættingjar fórnarlamba árásarmannsins sem og aðstandendur fórnarlamba fleiri skólaárása sem gerðar hafa verið síðustu ár.
Á lista með hugmyndum að umræðuefnum á fundinum stóð einnig: „Hvað viltu helst að ég viti um reynslu þína?“ og „hvað getum við gert svo þú upplifir þig öruggan?“
Fundi Trumps var sjónvarpað í beinni útsendingu. Á honum lagði hann til að kennarar myndu bera vopn til að stöðva árásir í skólum.
„Hann þurfti minnismiða til að muna að segjast skilja þau,“ skrifaði einn Twitter-notandi. Fleiri gagnrýna að forsetinn hafi þurft að láta minna sig á að sýna samhygð með þeim sem mættu til fundarins.

“I HEAR YOU”?
What kind of person needs NOTES to show empathy to children who were under heavy fire from a maniac? Kids who lost 17 people in the time it took the killer to aim his rapid fire AR15. #Trump

This is a real photo. Trump needed a cheat sheet written by someone else to remind him to say “I hear you” to people affected by gun violence. (source: https://t.co/zVCWSf0RCW) pic.twitter.com/IaQgOTJshI

To help him simulate human reactions, Trump's minders gave him a cheat sheet that prompted him to say things like "I hear you" during the WH listening session on the #Parkland shootings. [@AP Photo by Carolyn Kaster] pic.twitter.com/cEyVNDlvjU

For him to have to write down "I hear you" as one of his notes
is kind of troubling. RS
Trump was caught holding these notes, which reminded him to say:

“I hear you.”
You know who would have never needed that reminder?

After all the WH stagecraft today, including Trump’s handy cheat sheet with “I hear you” as a bullet, Trump solution is MORE guns in our schools, which as some may recall was also the NRA’s suggestion after Sandy Hook.
