Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump said Friday he will head to Florida later in the day to meet with those affected by the school shooting that left 17 dead in southern Florida.
"I will be leaving for Florida today to meet with some of the bravest people on earth -- but people whose lives have been totally shattered," Trump tweeted Friday morning. "Am also working with Congress on many fronts."
It was not immediately clear whether Trump would be heading to Parkland, Florida, the site of the school shooting. But Trump was scheduled to leave Friday afternoon for West Palm Beach, which is less than 40 miles away.
Trump said Thursday he planned to head to Parkland "to meet with families and local officials and to continue coordinating the federal response" but the White House had yet to confirm details of his visit at the time of Trump's tweet.

(10,749 posts)He has no empathy.
He is a narcissist.
He wasn't hurt.
His family was hurt.
It doesn't mean anything to him.
Wanna bet he talks about ratings? How isn't it great the their school is getting such good publicity? Remember, he threw paper towel at people in Puerto Rico who lost their homes, their family, their jobs.
I mean, really, can you even picture him hugging parents or school kids, as Obama did? And doesn't the thought of being touched by this creature make you throw up a little?
Sickening.

(11,887 posts)There is not one ounce of sincerity in tRump's visit to this school. This is simply a photo op with the victims that his staff is forcing him into preforming.That is the key word, "performance", for the empty barrel narcissistic sociopath who feels NO pain but his own.
I'm certain all of the parents that will meet with him are being carefully screened.

(12,685 posts)After the local GOP reps finish checking with the registrar of voters to see what political party Mom and Dad registered with, and cross-checking those names with local NRA and "Evangelical" organization lists. They've got to be MAGA all the way before he'll deign to visit with him.
I also doubt he'd be able to see any of the families of children who were injured or killed because it would be put out that it's "too soon" for them to be in the media spotlight while they're still in shock and grieving.

He should just stay at Whore-a-Lot-Go.

(11,112 posts)Can't utter the word "guns" during his half-assed statement to the country
Can't speak without a TelePrompTer to issue his heartfelt thoughts and prayers bulls--t
Can't even publicly announce Parkland travel itinerary. That's how much he wants to help the devastated people.
Trump's most important accomplishment today? Another trip to Mar-a-Lago, meet some Russians, have a few slabs of big, beautiful chocolate cake, golf with some hand-picked enablers, and get some more legal advice from mobsters.
