As President Donald Trump met with survivors and others impacted by the spate of mass school shootings across the US at the White House on Wednesday, he held a cue card with notes on how to appear empathetic while proposing solutions like tightening the federal background check system, raising the age of firearms purchases, having teachers store firearms, or, you know, casually employing roving squads of armed veterans to patrol schools.
But though the president managed to strike a sympathetic tone, it looks an awful lot like someone in the White House wasnt sure that would happen and thought he needed to be reminded to say basic things to the survivors like I hear you. Per CNN, in whats becoming somewhat of a pattern in this administration, a photographer once again caught what was supposed to be intended for only certain eyes:
In a photo from the event taken by Getty Images photographer Chip Somodevilla, the President is holding a piece of White House stationery with five discussion points written in black marker.
The visible points include prompts such as 1. What would you most want me to know about your experience? 2. What can we do to help you feel safe? and 5. I hear you.

(2,497 posts)I dont know why this surprises me. I guess I find it hard to believe any human could be so callous as to need notes like that.

When I watched the not "listening session" today I said out loud, "No More BS!" as Emma (the FL student who spoke this past weekend) said over and over. There was NO LISTENING from the Fucking Moron...as usual. You could see it on his stone, cold face. There is also no listening from the GOP, NRA $$$ taking, lawmakers either.
