I just heard his ridiculous and rambling rationalization about the feasibility of arming teachers because some of them are veterans?? Approximately 2% of Americans have served in the military. Out of that 2%, there are a number (like me) whose time in service involved exposure to pretty much ZERO weaponry. I shot a gun twice - once during basic training and once for some sort of 'qualifying' requirement. The closest estimate I could find is a 1:3 ratio of active duty military with direct combat experience.
And where will the money for psychological screening and ongoing weapons training come from? Or are those not a part of his plan? Who will buy them the weapons? How much will this impact the insurance rates for the schools? Does he EVER think before he speaks??
trump* makes my brain hurt.

(13,108 posts)His statements and actions have proven repeatedly he knows very little.
1 He knows about bankruptcy.
2 He knows how to dodge his taxes.
3 He knows about reality tv.
4 He knows about disclosure statements.
5 He knows about divorce.
Those are his strong points.
How sad is that ???
How dangerous for this country.

But more than his personal ignorance - there's all stuff we don't know - is his ignorance of his own ignorance. In other words, he doesn't know jack shit, but thinks he knows a lot.
