Trump addresses the nation (ASL – 8.5.19)

Transcript

Last night in a national speech, President Trump addressed the mass shootings that claimed so lives this weekend.

Trump laid out a five-point plan he wants bipartisan support for, that he believes will help put an end to mass shootings and hate crimes in America.

His plan involves having the FBI monitor the internet more closely, limiting violence in video games, having a bipartisan effort on reforming mental health laws, passing “red flag laws” which allow family and acquaintances to warn authorities if a person they are concerned about buys a gun and finally he called for the death penalty for any person who commits a crime or mass shooting.

What was not part of his plan was any mention of gun reform and that is something many lawmakers and citizens are calling for.

Trump was also blasted by critics and called insincere for saying during his speech “May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo.”

The shooting took place in Dayton.
