Donald Trump and the magic wand

Seventeen youngsters were shot in Florida by another student when they were attending at their school lessons. It’s not the first not the second time that something like this happens in this country, and with the same method, “a gun”.

Can anyone understand what’s going on in this country,…in this world? Trump spent some time listening to the pleas from shooting survivors and from some of the affected families. But, does Trump really need a note with some talking points for the occasion?

And, an absolutely “not”… for Trump´s proposal of endorsing guns for teachers. Their job do not involve exactly shooting people but teaching. And, you can’t do your job well if you don’t feel safe in a place where you are supposed to spend a lot of hours, almost your life. Teachers need books and not guns.

The solution is not carrying more arms, and as Andrew Pollack (whose daughter died in the attack) said, “We, as a country, failed our children”.

And, who… has the magic wand? The President … or the teachers?
