Donald Trump has called on US lawmakers to prioritise funding for school security over sending military aid to Ukraine... Your thoughts?

Speaking at a pro-gun conference, Mr Trump questioned how the US "has $40 billion to send to Ukraine" but cannot ensure security in schools. (BBC News)

Congress looks like hypocrites since they care about defending Ukraine's borders more than they do about securing our border. $40 Billion is an obscene amount, where is that money coming from?

[Akanzal]

Thanks for MHO!

[OldWorldOrder]

I support Russia, so obviously I support America wasting money and giving Russia free weapons lol 😄🇷🇺

[Jessica405]

Trump is talking rubbish! You could spend all that 40 billion on fortifying schools, but give some asshole a gun, and he WILL find another target.

You would need to fortify every school, shop, cinema, theatre, cafe, bar, restaurant etc. Fancy that?

[DarkWinterNights]

Still more beneficial than funding ANOTHER proxy war on the other side of the world. We can pass bills for tens of billions in a week for everyone but anything that actually helps Americans never gets anywhere.

[Jessica405]

@DarkWinterNights OK. So Russia takes over Ukraine. Sooner or later, under threat of nuclear war, Russia could invade a NATO country. US will be involved. How would that go down, and how much would that cost.

No matter what US does, a vindictive man with a gun IS going to find a target.

[DarkWinterNights]

@Jessica405, Yeah but it doesn’t change the fact that America is falling apart and our politicians still care about their wars and their investments more than the people they are supposed to represent. Our advanced weapons are already appearing on the black market. Imagine the damage terrorists can do around the world with those?

[Jessica405]

@DarkWinterNights So let's end u9 with WW3!

[RationalMale]

... why do mass shooters massively prefer places where anyone carrying a gun, or even pepper spray, would get arrested?

[OldWorldOrder]

It was NATO who decided to go East.

Russia did not decide to go West. They were FORCED into this conflict by Zelensky and his American masters.

[Jessica405]

@OldWorldOrder You are wrong. It was Eastern Europe that came west by joining Nato.

[Jessica405]

... and Russia was NOT forced into anything! Nato is defensive, in the light of the agression by Natzis in WW2, and is a threat to no other country.

[OldWorldOrder]

Right. The "color revolutions" were completely organic. No Western involvement. 🤪

Just like the Maidan coup d'etat. 🤪

[RationalMale]

The Left in the USA will defend other nations' borders to our death but really does NOT want school shootings to stop before they can pass gun confiscation.

[exitseven]

President Trump always did have an America First policy. I entirely agree with him.

[BillyBalls]

Make sense!!!

Or use that money to secure USA borders.

[Anonymous]

He just wants more money for school security.

[joeldalton]

Seems reasonable.

[MrTaboo]

Agreed
