Trump: ‘We Will Make America Safe Again’

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump said the ambush shooting and massacre of police officers in Dallas, Texas on Thursday have “shaken the soul of our nation” in a video message published on Trump’s Facebook Friday evening:

"Just a few weeks ago, I met with many of the men and women in the Dallas police force during my visit to Texas. They’re not just police officers. They’re mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters and they’re all on my mind today. They’re on everybody’s mind. A brutal attack on our police force is an attack on our country and an attack on our families. We must stand in solidarity with law enforcement, which we must remember is the force between civilization and total chaos. Every American has the right to live in safety and peace.

“The deaths of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philander Castile in Minnesota also makes clear how much more work we have to do to make every American feel that their safety is protected,” Trump added, referencing the fatal shootings of two black men earlier this week by police officers. “Too many Americans are living in terrible poverty and violence. We need jobs and we’re going to produce those jobs.”

He concluded:

Yes we need jobs. We also need to end the feeling that we are owed something just for being born. Work hard and be happy, that's my motto. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Being born in the United States of America is like hitting the Lottery. You can achieve great things if you have the wits and desire to do so.

All children have equal rights to attend public schools for a decent education. You have to want to achieve and work hard to do it. The problem students need to be removed from classrooms and placed in some type of reform or military-type school to learn discipline and respect for others. Apparently something some are not taught at home.

Assess the student's ability to learn. That's first on the list.

Words spoken from a true patriot. I'm just amazed at the people who don't seem to understand, he didn't have to do this. Trump has plenty of money and fame, he doesn't need the abuse he's received nor should he have to endure it. Wake up America, he's your last hope, kids. Unless you're ready to have the country utterly destroyed, he's your last beacon and chance at righting our wayward course.

It's gotten to the point, where the only person's word in the world of politics I find comforting, is Donald Trump's anymore.
