'He can't walk 300 feet unassisted': Internet buries Trump's fantasies ...

‘He can’t walk 300 feet unassisted’: Internet buries Trump’s ‘fantasies’ about being able to stop Parkland shooter

President Donald Trump on Monday insisted that he would have rushed in to personally stop Nikolas Cruz from murdering 17 people at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

While attacking Florida deputies for not entering the school while the shooting was still occurring, Trump said that “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon.”

Trump’s claim was met with instant ridicule on the internet, as many commenters noted that the president infamously got out of serving in the military during the Vietnam War by citing “bone spurs” on his medical examination.

Check out the top reactions to Trump below.

When he had his chance to enter the service to defend this country, he refused and got deferment 5 times because he was too scared to serve. Don't understand any service people backing this coward. The same guy who set up service men getting killed in Yemen by releasing his Muslim ban just as he sent them into a dangerous mission, and that's why it failed and they were killed , not because of others. They were ambushed. Where's the investigation Trey Gowdy? People like trump don't deserve the time of day.

I say we should start by arming the President, let him carry his own weapons at all times. Cancel the Secret Service protection, let him defend himself with his own weapons and training (or not.)

Let's see how long he can last in a situation like that.

If only Chuck Schumer or Dianne Feinstein would say that to him, he'd shut up in a New York minute!

he would have used his body to plug the hole made by the iceberg and held his breath until they made it to New York.

If Trump were in Dallas in November of 1963, he would have thrown himself in front of the bullet meant for JFK and then run out and caught the shooter.

If he were at the marine barracks in Beirut in 1982, he would have leaped onto the incoming truck packed with explosives Indiana Jones style, wrested control of the steering wheel from the driver and then drove it back to Hezbollah and taken them out with the exploding truck.

The Most Interesting Man in the world says that his life is boring compared to Trump.

Grandfather had fled Germany to avoid military service and taxes. Later returned to Germany and was kicked out of Bavaria, Germany for avoiding military service and paying taxes. Closest his father got to wearing a uniform was when he was wearing his clan robes and hood. We all know about Cadet Bone Spurs. The boys think guns are for killing endangered animals. A trump rushing to defend anyone, that's a joke.
