Donald Trump blasted Joe Biden’s “horrible” response to the Nashville Christian school shooting, after Biden’s initial comments following the outrage amounted to making jokes about ice cream.
28-year-old Audrey Hale killed three children and three adults at The Covenant School on Monday, a private Christian school for students aged three to 11.
Before Biden made a statement about the rampage, he absurdly began making jokes about how he liked chocolate chip ice cream.

As we highlighted yesterday, Biden continued to smile and laugh when asked by reporters if he believed Christians were specifically targeted in the shooting.
“I have no idea!” Biden responded, prompting the reporter to note that “[Senator] Josh Hawley believes they were. What do you say to that?”
Biden then smiled and said, “Well I probably don’t then!” before laughing, quickly seeing that no one else found it funny and stating “I’m just joking.”

During an appearance on Real America’s Voice, former President Trump savaged Biden’s insensitive reaction.
“Somebody messed up. It was so horrible. Everyone was waiting to hear is words and he’s talking about ice cream, with a laugh. He’s laughing about it, he’s joking about it. Now we’re in serious trouble,” the 45th President said.
Trump went on to call for more armed teachers in schools in order to combat similar tragedies.

“There’s a percentage of teachers that are very good with guns,” said Trump. “You have teachers that have a great record–they’re in the military and everything else–and they’re in the school. You can do that–you don’t need a very big percentage. You take the people that are very adept with guns.”
“They could put them safely in some place but very, very nearby. And if you had something like that, you take them out,” he added.
Trump then highlighted the “unusual case” of the school shooter being transgender, suggesting that the killer’s “anger” was exacerbated by the use of hormone drugs, which he banned for military service members when he was president.
“Then you had the unusual case yesterday of what happened with this person, and the anger that was caused, and that’s something–you know I banned it in the military because the drugs, because the amount of drugs they have to take is incredible,” said Trump.
“And as soon as I get out, Biden opened it up again. And it’s not a good thing because I can tell you, behind the scenes, the generals did not want it,” he added.
