The former president’s comments come a day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School

A day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines, Donald Trump returned to the state at a campaign event and told residents that they “have to get over it.”

During his speech at Sioux Center, Iowa, the former president gave his thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, emphasizing that “we’re really with you as much as anybody can be.” After stating the tragedy was “terrible” and “horrible,” Trump insisted: “We have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward.”

    Republicans will complain when we say they’re fine with school shootings happening, but I bet none of them will talk about him saying this.

      They also forget that he’s the only president who has advocated banning guns completely.
