Trump to hold "listening session" with students/teachers this Wednesday

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Unclear on who will attend...though safe to assume it will be the most hand-picked group in the history of hand-picked groups.



This is after CNN announced they were holding their own Town Hall with the students/faculty/families of those affected by the shooting...of which Trump was invited to (it should be noted the students reached out to CNN to host this...not the other way around):

President Donald Trump will hold a listening session with high school students this week following the deadly school shooting in Florida.

A White House schedule says Trump will host students and teachers Wednesday. He also will meet with state and local officials on school safety on Thursday.

The White House did not immediately answer questions about what students would be attending the session.

Students who survived the shooting in Parkland that left 17 dead have focused their anger on the president, urging him and other elected officials to do something about gun violence.

I can hear the teeth grinding already.

If teachers and parents are good this would be the ultimate Q&A to roast him, the republicans and the NRA.

 

[N is for Noble]

Hopefully... hopefully these issues are heard and swiftly dealt with for change. Poor kids man.

 

[Netherscourge]

I can only assume he means HE will talk and THEY will listen to him.

 

[Lord Fagan]

Jesus, leave those kids alone.

Quite a number seem to be itching to fight. And that's a good thing.

 

[FreezePeach]

They arent letting anti-trumpers in there. PR stunt.

 

[BWoog]

"As a survivor of this terrible tragedy, please Mr. Trump, tell us about your win in 2016."

 

[FunkyMonkey]

what're the odds they pack the room with little maga-bots and their concerned-about-illegals parents? no way trump would have the guacamole to face smart non-trumpian students

 

[Netherscourge]

"Hey kids. I'm sorry the FBI let you down. I promise I'll fire Rosenstein and Mueller."

If anyone from the school or the students' families is excluded, this is worthless.

 

[Airing of Grievances]

He was invited to a CNN town hall the same Wednesday with teachers and students from the school. This is essentially a way of controlling the participants at his own event instead.

 

[SlickShoesRUCRazy]

They are going to cherry pick....

 

[Merc_]

What's the point? Everyone knows he isn't going to do anything about this.

They aren't going to let in any kid that's spoken out against the President. They'll find the trump voting parents an then stock the room with the clap crowd

 

[Rebel1]

But it's too soon to politicize this

Trump "If she was older, I think we would be dating."

 

[Lunar15]

The key here is "which students"?

A lot of students from that high school have made themselves pretty clear. The discussion is happening, the listening isn't.

 

[CesareNorrez]

I can't to hear the Trump stooges, waiting in the wings, clap and cheer at anything he says no matter how inappropriate or nonsensical.

 

[Air]

This oughta go well

 

[Trojita]

You know they are just going to have Young Republican drones in there.

 

[Zeno]

So not even students from the school from the recent shooting it looks like?

This is pretty much all I'm expecting. Just a room full of Trump drones

He won't and can't handle that

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Hand picked like a MFer

"Yeah yeah guns blah blah but what do you think about the FBI? They really let you down, right. Me too"

 

[Alternade]

Hope someone spits on him

 

[Deleted member 907]

Start a petition to get Emma Gonzalez up in that bitty.

 

[nopressure]

not sure "listening" is something Trump cares to do.

 

[sphagnum]

They should go and just turn their backs on him.

 

[Wulfric]

This dude really about to go to his own roast.

 

[Deleted member 13037]

nowhere does it say this "listening session" is for him to hear the students, so I fully expect him to use this stunt to lecture them on how the FBI fucked them and tell them maybe they should buy a gun if they want to be safe

 

[adj_noun]

 

[Dyno]

So Trump to host heavily screened event where he uses children to shit on the FBI off the back of a mass shooting. Yeah, sounds like something he'd do.

 

[Everybody Lies]

If it isn't full of students from this most recent St. Valentine's day massacre then it is the poorest of theater and no one should take it seriously.

I'd bet my life's savings it will be theater.

 

[Apathy]

I would lie through my teeth to his staff to get invited and drop the biggest truth bombs on his ass in person

 

[Mgs2master2]

"look at these beautiful kids. If it wasn't for the FBI looking into Collusion, THAT DOESNT EXIST, Then more would be alive. Wouldn't you agree?"

 

[EdibleKnife]

What's the point? Everyone knows he isn't going to do anything about this.

Click to shrink...

It's so he can publicly pretend to care

 

[sfedai0]

THeres no way this isnt scripted and specific students being interviewed and vetted beforehand. Completely empty act.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Fully expecting totally legit "kids" and "students"

 

[Opto]

They should go and just turn their backs on him.

"See this children? They're very, very badly hurt, and they turn away from the government because the FBI failed them. But I will be the one to make them face a greater America!"

Yeah, sounds more like it'll be a bunch of random teachers & students local to the White House, not that they're flying in people that were actually closely affected by a shooting like the one we just saw.

Expect a lot of "I haven't personally been attacked by a tiger, so looks like your Tiger Repellent is working great, Mr. Trump."

 

[Astronut325]

If it's people actually affected by the tragedy, good. However, it's likely going to be just gun nuts demanding even less regulations, and that teachers need to arm themselves in classrooms.

 

[Kaako]

Maybe he'll catch a shoe or two in the face this time. Sadly, this will most likely be just a cherry picked publicity stunt.

Yep. Trump will be like "there, I did something, can we drop this whole silly gun control thing now?"

 

[ThatMeanScene]

I think this is the one opportunity for someone to call him out on-camera. I'd love to see one of those kids interrupt mid-sentence and tell to stop talking about himself for a second.

 

[Paradox]

"Hey kids. I'm sorry the FBI let you down. I promise I'll fire Rosenstein and Mueller."

"What's that you say? There was no collusion? Well, if you say so. Who am I to criticise grieving children."

 

[louisacommie]

I hope atleast one student is able to fake being a trump supporter and fucking tears him down verbally.

 

[Usagi]

He's going to brag about his win, size of inauguration and Killary first, isn't he?

 

[PancakeFlip]

So this is basically a "Trump Listens" where everything is controlled.
