Trump says he would have rushed into school, unarmed

-

President Donald Trump, who’s been highly critical of the law enforcemen­t response to the Florida school shootings, says he would have rushed in, unarmed, if he’d been there.

Speaking to a roomful of governors at the White House, Trump said Monday, “You don’t know until you’re tested, but I think I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too.”

Trump’s heroic hypothetic­al vividly demonstrat­ed his frustratio­n at the way the deadly events unfolded at the school in Parkland, Fla.
