Mass shootings predated Trump presidency.
Do you recall the Columbine High School massacre of 1999?
Fifteen fatalities. To mention just one of many.

Schools, churches, airports.......you can't blame Trump for those.

That's the same message I've heard. He's like a saint to many.

The USA is going to loose a lot of the tourist trade because of it

As of July 31, 2019, 248 mass shootings have occurred in 2019 This averages out to 1.2 shootings per day. In these shootings, 979 people were shot; of those people, 246 have died.
How does that compare with the UK (population adjusted)?

Re: Not easy being American with Trump

I think, if someone is elected with an agenda, and sees that agenda out, for better or for worse, they have stayed true, you don't have to agree, but you can't argue.

You can always argue. Isn't that what democracy is about?

Democracy is sometimes about one pace forward, or, one pace backwards, depends if a person is forward thinking.
