President Donald Trump condemned white supremacy on Monday, calling for Americans to unite around several proposals to help identify and prevent mass shootings.
“In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy,” Trump said. “These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America, hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul.”
The president called for federal and local law enforcement to help identify ways to prevent hate crimes and “domestic terrorism” in the United States.
Trump spoke to the nation from the White House in response to two mass shootings that took place over the weekend. Twenty people were killed in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday and ten people were killed in a shooting in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday.
“These barbaric slaughters are an assault on our communities, an attack on our nation and a crime against all humanity,” Trump said. “We are sickened by this monstrous evil, the cruelty, the hatred, the malice, the bloodshed, and the terror.”
Trump described the Texas shooting suspect as a “wicked” man who shot innocent people and the Ohio shooter as a “twisted monster.”
“The first lady and I join all Americans praying and grieving for all the victims,” he said.
The president signaled support for stronger laws regulating the Internet, social media, and violent video games and supported the concept of improved mental health and “red flag” laws, allowing relatives to recommend court-ordered seizures of their firearms.
He called for bipartisan solutions that “worked” and did not mention the ban of certain types of firearms.
“Mental illness and hatred pull the trigger, not the gun,” he said.

Everyone should get their DNA tested you would be surprised. No one is as black or white as they think they are. Even if you religiously reject evolution we now know the only possible place of the mythical Garden and even your earliest Biblical Characters and Jesus himself were no Eurocentic Caucasians as celebrated in Bible schools and in the illustrated Bibles in Doctors and Dentist office . Pigmentation is a geographical adaptation God himself thought of it. Religion and philosophical crusading and warring created the cultural divides that we now think are racial. No one seems to consider Trumps bizarre skin and hair color and that's a sin of vanity.
You nailed it 1:34
