Trump, the perpetual victim, on Saturday tweeted that Democrats could have enacted gun control legislation when they controlled the Whitehouse and congress, suggesting the blame for the latest school shooting is on them.
Trump, always the coward, failed to acknowledge that he has personally rolled back an Obama rule intended to help keep firearms away from the mentally ill. Trump has also received up to $30 million from the NRA.

'They just talk!' Trump blames Democrats for not acting on gun control earlier
President Donald Trump on Saturday laid the blame on Democrats for the lack of congressional action on gun control, an issue that once again rose to the forefront of public discourse after Wednesday's mass shooting in Florida.
"Just like they don't want to solve the DACA problem, why didn't the Democrats pass gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate during the Obama Administration," Trump said on Twitter. "Because they didn't want to, and now they just talk!"
His comments came just hours after hundreds of activists and shooting survivors rallied in Fort Lauderdale against lax gun-control regulations, the National Rifle Association, and Trump himself.
"To every politician who is taking donations from the NRA, shame on you," one shooting survivor, Emma Gonzalez, said in a fiery speech during Saturday's rally.
Trump's response to the Florida shooting has focused primarily on the first responders to the Florida shooting, offering little in the way of public consolation to victims or outreach to gun-control advocates.
Trump visited the Broward Health North Hospital on Friday, where he privately met with two victims and later said they were in "really great shape" considering the severity of the massacre.
