In an election year?

The mass murder in another school in Texas will be shoved under the dirty rug by Trump & Company. His condemnation of the brutal act of horror has evoked from him a promise to see to it that an outright crazy will not be able to buy murder weapons. That plus arming teachers will allow us to rest at ease. The fact that the Republicans and probably most Democrats have their greedy hands out for NRA support in the coming House elections has nothing to do about Washington´s hiding from the real issue  again. In Europe it is seen as yet another example of the constantly greater chasm in interests and values between the Community and the United States under Donald Trump. To quote a high European leader  “Who needs enemies when you have friends like him”.
