5 dead, 5 police officers injured. [View all]

Sadly on the very same day Trump calls a national emergency on the southern border, a gunman opens fire in a workplace in Aurora, Il. I feel awful for victims, the families and the officers, but I will put the blame on Trump. This is my own opinion. He just doesn't understand the real crisis isn't the border, but within our country.
