Washington – 15 February 2018
1. SOUNDBITE: (English) President Donald Trump:
“I want to speak now directly to America’s children, especially those who feel lost alone confused or even scared. I want you to know that you are never alone and you never will be. You have people who care about you, who love you and who will do anything at all to protect you. If you need help turn to a teacher, a family member, a local police officer or a faith leader. Answer hate with love. Answer cruelty with kindness. We must also work together to create a culture in our country that embraces the dignity of life, that creates deep and meaningful human connections and that turns classmates and colleagues into friends and neighbors. Our administration is working closely with local authorities to investigate the shooting and learn everything we can. We are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health. Later this month, I will be meeting with the nation’s governors and attorney generals. We’re making our schools and our children safer will be our top priority. It is not enough to simply take actions that make us feel like we are making a difference. We must actually make that difference.”
STORYLINE:
President Donald Trump called on Americans to “answer hate with love, answer cruelty with kindness,” after a troubled 19-year-old former pupil gunned-down students and teachers at a Florida school.
While speaking on the shooting he addressed, “America’s children” directly saying he wants them to know, “you are never alone and never will be. … If you need help turn to a teacher, a family member, a local police officer or a faith leader.”
He also said Americans need to work together to create a culture that “embraces the dignity of life.”
He also said he’s committed to tackling the “difficult issue of mental health.” He tweeted early Thursday that the suspect appeared to be “mentally disturbed.”
