Trump says Texas Shooting a Mental Health Problem, Not Guns Situation
President Donald Trump said the Texas shooting was a result of the shooter’s “mental health problem” not a “guns situation.”
During a press conference in Tokyo, a reporter asked Trump about the Texas shooting. The U.S. President responded, “I think that mental health is your problem here. This was a very—based on preliminary reports—a very deranged individual. A lot of problems over a long period of time.”
Additionally, Trump said the United States is dealing with “a lot of mental health problems” just like other countries. He emphasized that the Texas shooting “isn’t a guns situation. This is a mental problem at the highest level. It’s a very, very sad event.”
Furthermore, the U.S. President said, “It’s a little bit soon” to talk about guns. He also suggested that more people would have been killed if another person fired back at Kelley.
