Trump Says Florida Suspect Is 'Mentally Disturbed'

Donald Trump has called the 19-year-old who carried out a deadly shooting at a Florida high school on Wednesday “mentally disturbed” and claimed that classmates knew he was “a big problem.” The president tweeted Thursday morning saying Nikolas Cruz—who was charged before dawn with 17 counts of pre-meditated murder—was expelled from his school for “bad and erratic behavior” and that people “must always report such instances to authorities.” Details are still emerging about the killer. Britain’s Evening Standard reported that Cruz was expelled for coming into school with bullets in his backpack, and a number of his social-media posts attributed to the suspect have been seen as potential warning signs that he was planning a mass shooting. The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reported that Cruz's adopted mother died last November, and that Cruz had since been living with family friends who made him keep his firearms in a locked cabinet, for which he had the key.

3. "mentally disturbed" and a "big problem"

Strangely, the same comments were made about tRump BEFORE the "election" and the gop ignored them, too.

4. Funny...I guess it takes a mentally deranged person to know one, eh? NT

[mindem]

8. Yep,

Birds of a feather flock together.

[exboyfil]

5. Mentally disturbed like

bragging about being able to sexually assault women with impunity.

You mean that kind of mental disturbance.

[shraby]

6. He's blaming the kids who were shot! He is one sick ............

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

7. Whatever happened to "presumed innocent" and "due process"? Guess that's only for his staff.

Seems IQ45 can recognize mentally disturbed behavior at a distance, but not in his own mirror.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. where's TrumPutin's fix?

Didn't li'l Donnie promise to fix this beginning Jan. 20, 2017?

Surely that promise was as valid as the wall!

[pangaia]

10. Why was it so easy for a mentally disturbed gangster to become president?

We did report you, fuckwad. Didn't seem to help did it.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. So, does that mean we report any idiot carrying a gun in public and/or

wearing a stupid MAGA hat? To whom do I report it? The police don't care.

[Firestorm49]

12. Really?

He’s no more mentally disturbed than the idiot in the WH. It takes one to know one.

[Rollo]

13. Is that why Trump rolled back an Obama rule that would have put 75,000 names on...

a list of mentally ill not allowed to buy weapons...?

Nick Cruz legally bought the AR-15 he used to murder 17 and injure more.

The blood is on Trump's tiny hands.

[Egnever]

15. He was reported you fucking asshat

and kicked out of school because of it. You are seriously dumber than a box of rocks.

[EarthFirst]

16. Sounds like a breakdown in the national healthcare system; Mr. President... nt
