President Trump is set to speak Thursday morning on the deadly shooting at a South Florida high school, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.

"The President will address the nation at 11am today on the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida," Sanders tweeted.

The president's expected remarks come less than 24 hours after a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., about 25 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale.

The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student at the school, was arrested after fleeing the scene of the shooting. He was charged Thursday with 17 counts of premeditated murder.

1. Fuck his Russia NRA pandering and lies.

He totally doesn't give a fuck and closed the office dedicated to trying to find ways to prevent this. He hates us and doesn't care how many kids die just as long as the NRA continues to funnel huge rw and russian $$ to him and other repugs.

2. If he takes questions I'm just sure this will come up

3. Who gives a rat's ass what he has to say.

4. I've been predicting Trump would do gun control

Since day one - Why? - because he can...

He's Trump - and "they" trust him.

Ironically - Trump is gun controls best bet.

5. That's doubtful. IMO.

He's nor the President of the United States, he's the President of his United Base. The base wants to live in the wild west, where everyone has a gun strapped to their hip. He'll blame everyone and everything else that has nothing to do with this tragedy.

6. And ironically, in many towns of the wild west you turned in your guns at the city limit

11. Nope, not going to happen.

NRA was funded by russia which funded repugs. They want deaths so more people buy guns, and so does he. He personally had the office in the FBI that looked into domestic murderers because he's just fine with his folks shooting the rest of us.

7. Why do I get the feeling this will be a pro gun event?

8. stable genius shovels shit at 11

I have no interest in hearing anything that embarassing, lying, depraved traitor has to say.

9. Good thinking.

That way he gets this over with and he can get on with his weekend golf game.

10. Just stay away!

We know that this is a major inconvenience for Trump.

Just fuck off and go on with your weekend...

12. Blah

Same old washed up lines, different day- “ Our thoughts and prayers” crap.
Thoughts and prayers don’t save lives. Having the GUTS to lead just might, but don’t count on it. Another typical day in America.

13. "I'm ordering the flags to fly at half-mast. No one has ever done that before.

I am the most wonderful and exceptional President of all time. Bow to me. This is all that needs to be done beyond the special thoughts and prayers that are more exceptional because they come from me."
