2/22/18: Today’s topic: Yesterday’s meeting at the White House, featuring President Trump, talking with families and survivors of the Florida high school massacre on February 14.
We now know that Trump required a cheat sheet, prepared by White House Babe Hope Hicks, to remind him to show human emotions, such as empathy.
One admonition called upon him to occasionally say, “I hear you,” to those who had suffered irretrievable loss.

Trump needs a reminder to show empathy. |
2/23/18: Today, President Trump echoed an N.R.A. proposal for protecting our schools. Buildings, he said, should be “hardened.”
Kind of turned into forts.
On Twitter, as well as in a meeting with state and local law enforcement officials, he argued that if 10 to 40 percent of America’s teachers carried weapons in school, it would “solve the problem instantly.”
Voila!
No more school shootings (except accidents, definitely; and maybe angry teachers and principals arguing).
As an incentive for teachers willing to get training and carry weapons, and engage in the occasional gun battle with heavily armed, maniacal intruders, Trump suggested, “you give them a little bit of a bonus, so practically for free, you have now made the school into a hardened target.”
