FL Survivors Reject Trump Invite, Tell Him to 'Come to Us'

High school students who survived Wednesday’s deadly shooting rampage in Florida say President Trump has declined an invitation to speak at an upcoming town hall on gun violence, CNN reports. Instead, the White House has announced a “listening session” with students, though it is not clear if that event will include survivors of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were gunned down. “If Donald Trump wants to listen to us, he should have taken the first invitation,” survivor Alex Wind told CNN Monday. “We are not going to come to him. He is going to need to come to us,” he said. Emma Gonzalez, another survivor, said the “listening session” with students was just a way for Trump to avoid angry survivors. “The fact that he has organized this just proves that he's scared of us and that he doesn't want to have to face us,” she told CNN. Along with Trump, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has also reportedly declined an invitation to speak at the town hall event on Wednesday. The event will feature survivors of the shooting and parents of the victims.

20. tRump is afraid to be in the same room as a young adult high schooler

How pathetic!

[John Fante]

42. But alt-right dipshits have him standing stop a tank

in their stupid memes. Like he's General Patton or something. Trump is a coward.

No matter hard these dipshits try, Trump isn't cool, he isn't tough, he isn't witty, and he sure as hell isn't intelligent. He's actually the antithesis of all these things.

[H2O Man]

43. Yes!

[shraby]

2. One is always better on their home turf. Politicians know this and their home turf is Washington.

trump and scott are afraid of the people cause they are going to get an earful.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Trump's idea of a "listening session" would obviously mean

the kids shut up and listen to him blather and upon conclusion, he makes a hasty exit.

[PatSeg]

[turbinetree]

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[Paladin]

11. Good move, kids. Keep up the good work. (nt)

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. Smart kids aren't buying his BS.

[calimary]

31. And the best part of all - many of them are close to voting age.

They're not likely to give an NRA whore the benefit of the doubt.

[greatauntoftriplets]

37. The triplets will be 18 by next November.

They registered to vote last Thursday when their school had a registration drive.

[gademocrat7]

13. The students are repudiating chump, Scott, Rubio and the NRA.

After the terrifying ordeal they have survived, they are not going to let these rethugs ignore them.

[ButSeeYa]

14. I love these kids.

They see thru the bull, and are calling it out.

[packman]

15. Damn -

to them

"listening session" - go out into a field and listen to cows bloviating and farting would be more productive

[Gothmog]

16. Trump needs to go see the victims

[OhNo-Really]

17. What does a "listening session" look like?

No surprise, Alex Jones is enraging his viewers with false flag conspiracy. Isn't he inciting violence?

[gibraltar72]

18. I said as soon as

Trump announced he was gonna talk to survivors. He surely didn't want to actually have a conversation with these kids. They'd cut him to ribbons if allowed to talk. That would be his emperor has no clothes moment.

[djacq]

19. The Orange Clown wants a Fox & Friends environment

Do not relent.

[mwooldri]

34. Fox and Friend.

Agreed. Do no relent. What is Trump going to do?

[rickford66]

21. Trump wouldn't have control over the audience.

Of course he would avoid it.

[world wide wally]

22. Rethugs thought it was so crucial to use the term "radical Islamic terrorists"

Now they are finding out how crucial it has been to call "BS" on them

[rainin]

23. Perfect!! I was worried he would get them there and intimidate them somehow.

They are handling this perfectly!

[MyOwnPeace]

24. I truly think

this is a special group of "kids" - and they're NOT going to be intimidated by IQ45 - or anybody else!

[3catwoman3]

25. I hope NOBODY goes.

That would infuriate the hell out of Cadet Bone Spurs. He cannot stand to be ignored.

[sarge43]

28. Burn.

I am impressed. That's the way Americans should behave. We the People are the sovereign entity here; you work for Us, douche.

A reckoning is coming and these courageous young women and men will be in the forefront.

[pangaia]

29. EMMA FOR PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You go girl !!!!!!!!!!!

give it to that fucker........

[ailsagirl]

36. +1000000000000000000

[Grammy23]

30. Why should they come to him? Why show deference to someone so undeserving of it?

These kids are nobody’s fool. They apparently understand more than many people three times their age. And they see tRump for exactly what he is—-a loud mouthed bully who is a lying sack of monkey sh*t.

These young adults will be a force to be reconned with. It gives me hope that some so young have figured it out. They have had a belly full of the BS on this topic. The other side better be ready for them. ‘Cause they are ready for you.

[justhanginon]

32. I really hope some of these brave kids find a way to

get into politics in the future. They could make some real needed change in this country. I think they would bring a true sense of compassion to the table after the horror they have experienced. They are truly our hope for the future.

[ailsagirl]

35. YES! Like Emma Gonzalez!!

We need a million more like her!!

[ailsagirl]

33. He was invited to speak?

That surprises me!!

[Cha]

38. The Survivors have Chickenshit trump's

[Justice]

39. They are not going to be used as props. I have so much respect for them.

[tanyev]

40. He wants to have a 'listening session' with a hand-picked group of Trump supporters.

Which would have a real good chance of turning into a pro-school shooting town hall.

[heaven05]
