President Trump LASHES OUT At FBI For Failing To Protect Americans

President Trump took to Twitter late last night to slam the FBI for their failure to prevent last week’s Florida High School shooting.

As we’ve mentioned, the FBI eceived multiple tips about Nikolas Cruz, the shooter, was a threat to others.

They ignored those tips.

Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!

According to Daily Mail:

President Donald Trump said it was ‘not acceptable’ that the FBI missed signs the Florida school shooter was going to attack, slamming the agency for ‘spending too much time’ focusing on the Russian collusion investigation.

After a week during which Robert Mueller appeared to prove Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, Trump used the shooting, in which 17 died, including 14 children, to attack the FBI for going after him in the Russian collusion investigation.

And in just one 280 character tweet late Saturday night, he managed to conflate the two biggest national news stories of the week – Russian election interference and the Florida tragedy.

‘Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter,’ he tweeted. ‘This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!’

And while I think he’s entirely right, many of the left lost their MINDS about this.

Trump sparked anger among many Twitter users – but perhaps none so much as Arizona State Congressman and Iraqi War veteran Ruben Gallego – who went so far as to call the president a psychopath.

You are such a psychopath that you have to make even the death of 17 children about you. America will regret the day you were ever born. https://t.co/5jyhVXRSRn

‘You are such a psychopath that you have to make even the death of 17 children about you,’ Gallego, a democrat, wrote. ‘America will regret the day you were ever born.’

The message came just a few hours after a late-afternoon tweet-storm from the president, in which he took aim at the ‘fake news media’ for failing to report that a Facebook executive confirmed the majority of Russian spending on ads came after the 2016 election.

Ruben describes himself as “Iraq War Veteran. USMC 0311/0341. Member of Congress for Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. Proud Democrat. Hispanic, Latino.”

Would he have said this to any of the Democrats politicizing this event?

I don’t think so.

Aaaand then there’s this:

Dear LORD. I guess not that they can’t pin him on Russia they’re DESPERATELY trying to find their next strategy.

President Trump was NOT done, however.

He attacked Democrats for virtue signaling about gun control and “common sense gun laws” despite the fact they FAILED to pass gun control legislation during Obama’s eight years in the White House.

Just like they don’t want to solve the DACA problem, why didn’t the Democrats pass gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate during the Obama Administration. Because they didn’t want to, and now they just talk!

Exactly. It’s all talk.

But again… Trump is FAR from the only person who feels the FBI seriously dropped the ball on this.

But Trump is far from the only person to attack the FBI field office in Miami for overlooking warning signs that p

ointed to the likelihood that Nikolas Cruz would become a school shooter.

Cruz was repeatedly identified by local and federal agencies as a troubled young man with violent tendencies, and on Friday the FBI admitted it failed to investigate a tip by someone last month identifying him as a potential threat.

In that tip, someone close to Cruz identified him as a gun owner intent on killing people, and said it might happen at school.

Local police were also called to the teen’s home multiple times over the past few years for reports of disturbances.

A state report also shows that Cruz worried officials at his school, who on at least one occasion alerted a crisis unit because they believed he needed emergency counselling. Cruz had a long history of violence at the school, including fighting with teachers and using profane language.

And nearly a year-and-a-half before his brutal crime, the Florida Department of Children and Families conducted an in-home investigation of Cruz. They had been alerted to posts on snapchat of the then 18-year-old cutting his arms and speaking about wanting to buy a gun.

After visiting his home, state agents said he was a low risk of harming himself or others, and no action was taken.
