In Which Trump Spends 20 Minutes at a Florida Hospital Before Another Golf Vacation
Our so-called president announced that he was going to Parkland, Florida, today to “meet with some of the bravest people on Earth.”
I will be leaving for Florida today to meet with some of the bravest people on earth - but people whose lives have been totally shattered. Am also working with Congress on many fronts.

He did go to Parkland. But not for any kind of public statement. He spent a maximum of 20 minutes total at Broward Health North hospital, and it’s unclear whether he met with any victims of the horrible mass shooting or not.

And then he got in his limo and drove back to Mar-a-Lago to play some golf.
While he was there, Trump thought of a good joke.
Pres Trump lavishes praise on first responders at Broward Sheriff’s Dept. “I hope you’re getting the credit.” He says the job they’ve done is “unparalleled.” “Give ‘em a raise,” he tells Sheriff Israel. pic.twitter.com/ccWwHqQEdK
