Yup, he went there.

In a Saturday tweetstorm while enjoying a weekend of golf at Mar-A-Lago, President Donald Trump decided to blame the recent mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on the FBI. But it's not for their failure to heed warnings about the shooter.


Instead, Trump said the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election was to blame... on Twitter, of course. Trump claimed that the FBI was "spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion."

What makes this accusation so remarkable is the fact that within the first few weeks of his presidency, Trump himself made it easier for dangerous people, like the Florida shooter, to obtain guns. But as always, with Trump, it's someone else's fault.

You have to hand it to him, Trump is a master when it comes to deflection.

This.

Trump using the Florida school shooting to justify undermining the Russia probe is nothing short of disgusting.

Trump also claimed that he never denied Russian meddling in the election, which is of course completely untrue, amazingly, to Trump himself, who has no concept of irony. He also conflates Russian meddling with campaign collusion, for which multiple former campaign staffers have been indicted.

Despite receiving tips about the shooter, the FBI has admitted that they failed to intervene and take the warnings seriously. ""Maybe we create a whole new 911 system for these types of threats," Tim Clemente told Fox News.

The Valentine's Day Massacre was not the first time the FBI has dropped the ball, however. In 2017, the FBI failed to act on a tip about a man who opened fire at Fort Lauderdale International Airport, killing 5 people.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
