Trump Forgoes Regular Saturday Golf Out of Respect for Murdered Students

A White House spokesman announced yesterday that Donald Trump would be skipping his planned Saturday of golf at his resort in Florida out of respect for the dead - and those mourning the dead - from the massacre at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.  Parkland is about a thirty-minute drive north of Trump's lush private club where he spends many of his weekends.

No golf on a beautiful Saturday.  Thank you, Donald John, for your sacrifice.  Perhaps the nation should honor you with a parade.

Earlier in his Florida trip, Trump (never one to let attention rest on others for too long) demonstrated his astounding degree of tone-deafness by flashing a "thumbs-up" sign and a big, toothy smile while posing with members of the Broward County Sheriff''s Department (the county where the school shooting occurred), and then by attending a Studio 54-themed "disco" party in the big ballroom at Mar-a-Largo.

Obama cried with the devastated parents at Sandy Hook Elementary.  Trump beamed for the cameras and then went to a party - and undoubtedly felt content that he sacrificed more than his share by giving up that round of golf.

God speed to the students in Florida who appear ready and willing to take on the National Rifle Association and its entrenched politicians.  Now is the time for America to rise up and join these valiant young people in their noble fight for sanity and self-preservation.  This gun madness has to stop!
