Emma Gonzalez is a survivor of Wednesday’s deadly school shooing and here’s what she had to say to Trump.
“If the president wants to come up to me and tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should never have happened and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done about it, I’m going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association.”
Here’s how Trump responded – or rather, didn’t respond – to the shooting.
My prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida shooting. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.

Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!

Everything is about him. The man is genetically incapable of empathy or thoughtfulness. What a sad, miserable human being. https://t.co/MtLB1C7IDw

There are a whole bunch of students from this high school who are incredibly intelligent and well spoken. What are they feeding these amazing people?

I drive Uber, for the time being, in a university town. I am so impressed with most of my student passengers. They give me hope. This intelligence isn't unusual…just unheard.
