Washington – President Donald Trump says the armed officer who didn’t stop the gunman who carried out last week’s Florida massacre was either a “coward” or “didn’t react properly under pressure.”

Trump was departing the White House for the Conservative Political Action Conference when he said: “When it came time to get in there and do something” Florida deputy Scot Peterson “didn’t have the courage or something happened.”
Trump added, “he certainly did a poor job, there’s no question about that.”
Officials announced Thursday that Peterson never went inside to engage the gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School while the shooting that killed 17 was underway.
Trump is calling the episode “a real shot to the police department” and says this “could have been prevented.”
Wow, after watching the president address CPAC just now, I was brought to tears of joy. Never in my entire life have I been so thrilled or positively affected by any president! This man, while not being the typical politician (Thank goodness) and not caring about being politically correct or fake like most of the rest of the politician (more often on the left), has his heart in the right place, has new, innovative, sensible and WORKABLE solutions to problems that no Pres before has has ever been willing or capable enough of tackling and solving, and has already kept most of his campaign promises, something the majority of candidates never ever fulfill after taking office! I can’t say enough about the greatness of this man or sing his praises enough, and when the left find absolutely nothing to give him credit for, there is no possibility of an explanation other than that they are complete liars who do not care about the welfare of America at all—if they did they’d be championing the huge strides Mr. Trump has already made, instead of making fun of his hair and their other nonsensical comments about him! When you can find nothing to criticize about his policies, you must resort to ridiculous and immature personal attacks which show how desperate and hateful you are, and how much you hate your country; you’d rather see your country fail than have to admit Trump is winning and actually MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Stop the baseless hatred, start loving your country and cheer Mr. Trump on for his policies which are already helping Americans again, 8nstead of walking in your resentment that your democratic candidate didn’t win! Be a patriot, not a hater!
