President Trump on Monday claimed he would have run into a Florida high school to prevent a gunman from carrying out this month's mass shooting.

"I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon,” Trump told a gathering of governors at the White House. The president was doubling down on his criticism of an armed sheriff’s deputy who did not confront the shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed earlier this month.

Trump also told the governors he ate lunch last weekend with leaders of the National Rifle Association.

"Don't worry about the NRA,” Trump told the governors. ”They're on our side.”

Even Ivanka can't believe this one

[magicarpet]

63. If a threat came near tr-dump....

.... tears would be pouring from his eyes and snots from his nose and he would have his head buried deep into the fake silicone breasts of his wife, I mean Ivanka his daughter. Wailing and crying to immediately be brought to a safe place where he could cuddle up with his teddy bear and soft blankie.

[logosoco]

27. LOL

Is there ANY evidence that this man has EVER in his life done anything that was not somehow related to his own self?
All of his speeches are about him. All of his life "work" has been for money in his pocket or to somehow make his company look good.

[UpInArms]

38. trump doesn't have enough guts to deal with his own bald head.

trump doesn't have enough guts to release his own tax returns.

And he's claiming he'd have run in that high school to face a well-armed, murderous psychotic? Go ahead trump, make my day......

[Cracklin Charlie]

39. Mental illness on display.

Sad!

[Motley13]

[Vinca]

42. Well, it's a shame he wasn't there because going in unarmed would be suicide.

[TomCADem]

43. President Bone Spurs?

This is laughable. The President once again shows he has no decency.

[Kaleva]

44. He needs a golf cart to get anywhere.

?itok=JJRDEYrm

[HuskyOffset]

45. When's the last time Trump ran anywhere?

I mean seriously, does anyone think he can run at all, or even jog a short distance?

[AtheistCrusader]

46. The room maybe, yes. Decent human beings protect children.

But trump? I don't think you could get him to run after even the thing he loves most; dollars.

An excited waddle is about all you're going to get out of him.

[jimmil]

49. This may be...

The absolute funniest post I have ever read. Oh yeah, he would have also been the first man on the moon if that lunar module had another seat in it, he would have push Ira Hayes out of the way to plant the flag on Mt. Suribachi, led the troops to hit the beach at Normandy, chased the Chinese back into China during Korea, stopped the tanks from breaking through the gates of our embassy in Saigon, been the mother of all soldiers in Iraq, and personally pissed on Bin Laden's head. The fucking guy is a hero I tell ya, a hero!

[Solly Mack]

50. lololololololol

lololololololololol

lolololololololol

[Mad_Mongol]

51. If he wants to waddle in and take a few bullets for the next batch of kids...

More power to him!

Heck, with his *manly* bulk, he good for at least 1/3 of a clip.

[Danascot]

52. I don't know whether the title of this post or this other recent one is funnier:

"Trump Might Be Too Busy to Talk to Robert Mueller, Says Lawyer"

[redstatebluegirl]

53. Right...my brother wouldn't hesitate to do it, but he also served 30 years in the Navy.

He was a naval aviator who served two tours in Vietnam and one in the first gulf war. He is used to being shot at by bad guys. Captain Bone Spurs would run the other way as fast as his old legs would carry him. But conservatives eat that shit up. He is "tough", right.....

[SunSeeker]

54. Why didn't Cadet Bonespurs run into VIETNAM?

[nmgaucho]

55. Hell, he's even afraid of ole Bernie

[sinkingfeeling]

57. And I have a bridge in NYC that I'll sell you.

[snowybirdie]

58. He's a liar

But this is the biggest whopper of them all!

[louis-t]

59. First of all, fatass, you can't even run.

Maybe you could have driven a golf cart into the school.

[Upstate One]

60. He would have gone to Vietnam too

lol.

[ffr]

61. Woof-woof! I'm bigger than any school shooter. Just watch how it's done.

[IronLionZion]

62. Hacksaw Ridge is on HBO for those interested in seeing how it's done

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Doss



Here's a hero who really did run straight into hell without a weapon and saved 75 of his fellow soldiers. A pacifist who was awarded the Medal of Honor without killing anyone.

This would be the opposite of commander bone spurs.

[Jedi Guy]

64. The arrogance is breathtaking.

The self-delusion is even more so. It baffles me that every time you think Trump can go no lower he somehow finds a way to do so. He digs right through the bottom of the barrel and keeps right on truckin'.

[djacq]

65. The Orange Clown is Monday Night Quarterbacking

[packman]

66. He's my hero

[3catwoman3]

68. Oh, like hell he would have.

If he were Pinocchio, his nose would be reaching Moscow by now.

[Tom Rinaldo]

69. I doubt most of his hardist core supporters will appreciate that comment

It's too obviously crazy and self serving even for them, making the loss of children's lives into a Trump self promo in the ugliest and most unbelievable way. The lingering vile after taste of too many comments like this, even after they may get buried and forgotten after the next early morning tweets, will contribute to Republicans getting buried in the fall elections.

[pazzyanne]

70. Says the man who opted out of Viet Nam.

Ya, sure he would. NOT!

[Shaddox]

72. Finally, the capper on all his lies and narcissism. Didn't think it could be done, but here we are.

Donny, go home. You've achieved your masterpiece. I'm sure that Walleye Huckabee Sanders is standing in front of a mirror right now working up her preemptive pissy face for the inevitable hilarious set of questions at the next presser. This statement just feels like some sort of Rubicon has been crossed with respect to the inner workings of this lunatic's mind - this is next level batshit crazy.

[olddad56]

73. he might have run into the girls locker room, it hopes of catching a glimpse of a naked teenager.

[Nitram]

74. Here's the courage Trump displays in the face of danger. He rushes towards the shooter to

protect his supporters in the crowd!

[bringthePaine]

76. NUTS* *(quote from actual American patriot - look it up for extra points...)

yes, another totally believable udderance the cow-ard-in-chief that bravely runs away from reporters armed with...QUESTIONS!
I sooooooo wish this was funny....

[Mountain Mule]

77. Fat on McDonald's burgers, old, and "bone spurs" - you bet!

The man's arrogance is incredible, but that's a malignant narcissist for you.

[Oneironaut]

80. Absolute bullshit, Mr. Bonespurs.

Trump is the type that would burst into tears, and push people (including young children) out of the way to try and get as far away as possible. He’s a sniveling coward who turned away in disgust when a man needed medical attention. I don’t believe this persona for a second. He’s a wannabe tough guy and a fraud.

[wysimdnwyg]

81. The only time he runs anywhere...

Is to the bathroom after his fifth Big Mac. The man is clearly delusional.

[Pachamama]

82. The Biggest Lie he has ever told so far.....

Are you fucking kidding me? That coward would piss and shit his pants and go running in the other direction shaking and crying....

He would grab a kid to use as a shield from bullets....

What a fucking lying asshole....

I just can't wait to see what he does when they come to arrest him....

[dhill926]

83. the entire room should have either....

erupted in laughter, or walked out en masse....

85. The Time Donald Trump Turned Away in Disgust While a Man Was Bleeding to Death in Front of Him

Retweeted by Patrick Nonwhite: https://twitter.com/NonWhiteHat

Trump on Florida shooting: "I really believe I'd run in there, even if I didn't have a weapon." Except when he actually HAD a chance to act bravely (via @dandrezner)...:

THE HOWARD STERN TAPES

The Time Donald Trump Turned Away in Disgust While a Man Was Bleeding to Death in Front of Him

The most shocking revelation from a recently unearthed trove of interviews between radio host Howard Stern and Donald Trump.

MARLOW STERN

09.28.17 9:30 AM ET
....

The former reality-TV host then shares a story with Stern about the time he thought a man died in front of him during a charity event at his Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago and, rather than helping the injured man, Trump turned away in disgust at the sight of his blood. ... “I was at Mar-a-Lago and we had this incredible ball, the Red Cross Ball, in Palm Beach, Florida. And we had the Marines. And the Marines were there, and it was terrible because all these rich people, they’re there to support the Marines, but they’re really there to get their picture in the Palm Beach Post… so you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old—very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him—he fell off the stage,” said Trump. ... Trump proceeds to explain that it was a $100,000-per-table fundraiser filled with deep-pocketed billionaires, and that the Marines were—for whatever reason—given tables in the very back of the ballroom (“the worst table in the whole place”). Oh, and that he was more preoccupied with his ballroom’s pristine marble floor than the octogenarian bleeding out on it.

“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” said Trump. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. ‘Oh my God! This is terrible! This is disgusting!’ and you know, they’re turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.”

Thank God for the Marines. “What happens is, these 10 Marines from the back of the room… they come running forward, they grab him, they put the blood all over the place—it’s all over their uniforms—they’re taking it, they’re swiping [it], they ran him out, they created a stretcher. They call it a human stretcher, where they put their arms out with, like, five guys on each side,” shared Trump. ... “I was saying, ‘Get that blood cleaned up! It’s disgusting!’ The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say he’s OK,” said Trump, adding of the blood, “It’s just not my thing.”

Like most Trump tales, what was intended as a story about the bravery and heroism of a handful of Marines instead revealed far more about the man telling it.

[Delphinus]

86. If someone

in the media doesn't call him out of this I will be quite surprised. He's as cowardly as they come.

[orangecrush]

87. DISGRACE

Mueller please hurry.

[StevieM]

88. Seriously? (eom)

[Hortensis]

90. I am looking forward to expressing my admiration for

Trump's heroic nature to any of his less-deluded voters I run into.

His description of the danger of embracing a snake is, imo, a truly outstanding gft from this weekend, but "I would have run into the school with no weapon" should see numerous re-airings also.

Thank you for your assistance, President Bonespurs.

[milestogo]

91. Now there's an idea I can get behind.

[truthisfreedom]

92. Cadet bone spurs who flinched in total fear recently

On stage. He would poop his pants before doing anything else.

[krispos42]

93. Right.

This is another of his six unique lies a day.

He's a lying coward. Shameless, bald-faced liar.

[jmowreader]

94. If that's what we gotta do to get rid of him...

No, even the opportunity to rid ourselves of Hopalong Donny over there isn't enough to justify having a school shooting.

[Rhiannon12866]

95. He had his chance:
