Furthermore, the President noted that the internet provided a “dangerous avenue to radicalize disturbed minds and perform demented acts.” He also cited that criminals use the internet for “human trafficking, illegal drug distribution, and many other heinous crimes.” He said we cannot ignore the threats of the internet and the social media.
“We cannot allow ourselves to feel powerless. We can and we will stop this evil contagion,” said Trump.

Moreover, he implored Americans to honor the memory of those who lost their lives in the mass shooting by “acting as one people.” He said, “Open wounds cannot heal if we are divided. We must seek real bipartisan solutions…to make America safer and better for all.”
He directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to partner with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and social media companies to develop tools to detect mass shooters before they strike.
Trump also want people to immediately “stop the glorification of violence” in our society including the “gruesome and grisly video games.”
