Trump is talking

"GDP. 3.2. Three. Three"

REMINDER: This is purportedly an event about school safety, but Trump is currently ranting about how "Canada is very smooth"

love 2 talk about school safety with governors by.... *checks notes* .... blasting each of the last three administrations' North Korea policies?

What the hell is Trump talking about?

"Plus, you know, I got to watch (?) some deputy sheriffs performing this weekend. They weren't exactly Medal of Honor winners."

President Bone Spurs says he would've run into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to stop the school shooting earlier this month "even if I didn't have a weapon."

TRUMP, ranting, brags about how well he did with women in 2016: "Women unemployment [is] at an 18-year low. 18 years. And actually I did very well with women during the election. Nobody wants to give me credit for that, as you know. And I'm very proud of that."

You just can't make this shit up -- Trump, purportedly talking to governors about school safety, is now riffing on how great American solar panels are.

"We make a much higher quality solar panel."

TRUMP on bump stocks: "It's gone. Just don't worry about it, it's gone, essentially gone, because we're going to make it so tough that you're not going to be able to get them. Nobody is going to want them anyway."

TRUMP on providing police with military gear: "Every time I go to one of your cities, they come up to me, the police, and they say, 'thank you so much for that equipment. We feel so much safer.' When they can go in an armored van to a site and not worry about being shot."

WOW -- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) challenges Trump to his face on his plan to arm teachers, tells him "we need to listen to educators and they should not be foisted upon this responsibility of packing heat."

Trump responds by crossing his arms and quickly changing topic

This was Trump's body language as Gov. Inslee told him educators aren't down with his plan to arm teachers

Trump says he thinks teachers would pack heat in schools for a $1,000 bonus, says he recently talked to someone whose plan to stop school shootings was to fill schools with smoke. (Trump doesn't like that idea.) #BeyondParody

Trump says "country is doing great," but laments the "setback" that was the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School -- then immediately pivots to bragging about how solid the economy is

Trump blasts resource officer who failed to stop Parkland shooting: "Look at Peterson. Look what he did in Broward where he thought he was probably a brave guy, but he wasn't a brave guy under pressure. He choked and other people choked. A lot of people choked in that case. "

LMFAO Trump does a no-look handshake as the meeting with governors ends
