Don Trump Jr. Suggests Uvalde Shooter Could Have Killed 19 Kids With A 'Bat'
"Screwed up people," "crazy teachers" and "indoctrination programs" in schools, not assault rifles, are the real problems, said the former president's son.

In an incredible display of utter tastelessness, Donald Trump Jr. insisted in a rage-fueled video on social media Saturday that the Uvalde mass shooter could have killed 19 children and two teachers with a “bat.”

“It’s the gun; it’s not the sociopath wielding it,” people are claiming, he complained. “He wouldn’t have done the exact same thing with a bat, or a bomb, or some sort of improvised device — or a machete?” he added.

The real problem is that people are “screwed up,” and we have “crazy teachers” and “indoctrination programs” in our schools, he insisted.

“That’s what’s going on right now, guys. Enough is enough,” said Trump, who said he’s looking for “accountability.” “Never ends, man,” he added.

Junior went on a wild rant about Uvalde tonight, saying the AR-15 isn’t the issue because he could’ve done the “exact same thing” with a bat, bomb or machete. He says gun owners are unfairly “stigmatatized,” and the real problem is that “crazy teachers” are indoctrinating kids. pic.twitter.com/2Rmme3510A

In fact the gun is critical in the amount of destruction any shooter can deliver. Assault rifles cause extreme trauma to the human body, and bullets are spit out lightning fast, allowing a gunman to do maximum damage extremely quickly.

1. Okay, Junior. Here's a proposal

You bring a baseball bat.
I'll bring an AR-15.

We go at each other. Let's see who is standing at the end.

[Irish_Dem]

5. He is a disgusting coward. He would run and cry like a baby.

[yardwork]

13. Would the cops have waited an hour to stop somebody armed with a bat?

[MurrayDelph]

31. Better yet

The next time he tries to illegally hunt a bear, he should try to do it with a baseball bat.

[Irish_Dem]

2. This is the real mental health problem. GOP ruthless sociopaths.

They will slaughter as many children as it takes to achieve permanent power.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Coke fiend says what?

Come to think of it…

[lastlib]

12. Little Cocaine For Brains speaks--explains the gurgling noise I heard.

[LiberalFighter]

4. So give a sane rational person a gun in the same room with Jr?

[NickB79]

6. Cops don't cower in terror from a baseball bat

For an hour

[Emile]

7. They keep making excuses for the gun.

[uncle ray]

8. to be fair, with an hour uninterrupted to do it, he could.

[NickB79]

9. But he wouldn't have an hour

The cops would have gone in with guns drawn immediately, if it was only a baseball bat.

[Wednesdays]

10. See reply #1. nt

[USALiberal]

18. That is absolutely ridiculous

[uncle ray]

30. of course my sarcastic response is absolutely ridiculous.

but then so is a mass shooting continuing on for an hour while the people with the power to stop it put more effort into crowd control than stopping the gunman.

to be clear, i'm ridiculing the pathetic LE response, not, as i thought would have been obvious, suggesting that baseball bats are in any way as deadly as an AR.

[Mr. Ected]

11. It only takes one good guy with a baseball bat

To knock Don Junior into the centerfield bleachers.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. Coke Jr. ranting again?

STFU Jr.

This is your brain on drugs...

[Paladin]

15. Fuck you DEAD, junior. The sooner the better. (nt)

[Orrex]

16. Gun fetishists always say shit like this

They love to fantasize about the number of kids who drown in backyard pools or who ingest cleaning chemicals as proof that guns are the safest things since butterflies and cottonballs.

I would absolutely love for one of these gun fetishists to present statistics on the annual number of mass killings committed with backyard pools or with cleaning chemicals.


It is true that some murders are committed with bludgeons or with blades, but the number of premeditated mass killings that involve such weapons is vanishingly small, and anyone who tries to shift the blame to them is an ignorant pig-fucker.

[tanyev]

17. The "crazy teachers" you also want fully armed?

Asshat.

[USALiberal]

19. Well the difference is with a bat you need to be really close to the person. Nt

[keithbvadu2]

34. Yes. A bat or knife makes it much more personal.

Yes. A bat or knife makes it much more personal.

[Novara]

20. I can't even imagine how agonizing it is for the parents of these kids ...

... to see him dancing on their children's dead bodies with this shit. It's horrifying enough that they lost their children, wondering if the police acted sooner would their child be alive, but to see utter trash like this belittle their child's horrible death to make some damned idiotic nonsensical point?

[BusterMove]

21. Of course its not the gun...thats why he hunts bears elephants and lions

With a baseball bat. Oh…wait…

{Pro tip, Jr…that why its called “dope”.}

[GoCubsGo]

22. Coked-up trust fund slacker says what?

Why anyone pays attention to this useless prick is beyond me. I can think of about 300 million people who would like to take a baseball bat to him.

[llmart]

24. "Why anyone pays attention to this useless prick is beyond me."

+1000

That goes for the rest of this worthless family too.

[Tanuki]

23. I find it ironic that Idiot Jr. touts his gun skills but has never volunteered

to use that talent to serve or defend his country. He only shoots at creatures who can't shoot back.

[SergeStorms]

25. "Bat" shit crazy answer from.....

a cocaine fueled little boy who's never accomplished anything in his life. If it weren't for his "allowance" from the money Daddy steals from his cult, the stupid shit wouldn't be able to survive. Then he takes his allowance to buy "hunting" trips where the animals are tethered or baited. What a man!

Nepotism is the key trait in TrumpCo. and little Jr. makes sure he's first in line. This is the most worthless and bat-shit crazy family on the face of the planet.

[Chainfire]

26. Jr. will never miss an opportunity to show us just what a fucking idiot he is.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. Drugs are really dangerous

Jr. needs to go to rehab

[Me.]

28. So Says The Animal Killer Who Needs Someone To Bait Or Trap Them

so he can kill them when they have no means of escaping

[snowybirdie]

29. Looks like Jr.

is becoming more unhinged and full of rage. A gun enthusiast and a drug user too. Much like the profile of a mass killer. His family needs to intervene.

[Aristus]

32. Then why didn't he?

Sure would have saved himself a lot of money.

If it was in any way possible for someone to be more crashingly, hellishly, jaw-droppingly stupid than TFG, Sr., it's TFG, Jr. God, what a buffoonishly awful fuckwit...

[Kid Berwyn]

33. Like father, like son.

Depraved.

[Hotler]

35. Get this fucker off the streets. Stop his limo for a broken tailight and

have the drug dogs do a walk through.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Someone must have taken a bat to his head when he was younger

[demtenjeep]

37. I don't consider myself to be a crazy teacher. However, if I ever met that asshole in person

maybe I would become one for a minute.
