HE... HE... KNOWS, RIGHT? Trump: 'Maybe They Have to Put a Rating System' on Movies

[DonViejo]

After suggesting Hollywood is to blame for shootings, Trump offered up a system that already exists as a way to curb violent films. He then proposed paying armed teachers a bonus.

During a meeting Thursday with state lawmakers, President Trump suggested violent entertainment is to blame for mass shootings in the United States.

His proposed solution? A ratings system for movies.

At first, during the conversation about ways to prevent further massacres like the one that claimed 17 lives last week in Florida, the president connected video games to gun violence.

“We have to look at the internet because a lot of bad things are happening to young kids and young minds and their minds are being formed,” the president said. “We have to do something about maybe what they’re seeing and how they're seeing it. And also video games. I’m hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people’s thoughts.”

And then the president pivoted to blaming Hollywood.

4. If all you ever watch is porn you probably won't know about

the regular ratings system for Hollywood and other "normal" productions.

9. right -- this is someone who's never seen the inside of a movie theater except maybe as an owner.

can you imagine him taking any of his kids when they were little to a movie theater?

pfft.

private theater in his own mansion, sure. but a public theater that might enforce an age restriction?

yeah, right.

[Solly Mack]

5. Yeah, yeah. Nobody knew movie ratings could be so complicated.

Movie ratings are an example of something that's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more.

And other paraphrases.

Idiot.

6. Anytime Trump says

“I’m hearing more and more people”...whatever follows is absolute bullshit

7. I wouldn't give this moron the time of day if I heard him speaking across my table at BINGO.

We are so fuck@d that he is the president.

BTW, I remember hearing complaints about the President of Latvia being a complete embarrassment, a moron. I wonder if Putin put him there. (It's been a few years, so I don't know if he is still Pres of Latvia or not.)

8. Who knows what's inside that pea-brain.

What he's actually doing is easing in a conversation about censorship, disguising it as a way to "protect our children".

He would love to have censorship powers over the internet. No big surprise, he's pushing a Russian narrative here.
