Displaying a cognitive dissonance that's become common with him, President Donald Trump on Thursday made a reference to the alleged mental instability of the young man accused of the deadly Parkland, Florida school shooting. 。

Speaking to the American public from the White House, Trump said of the fallout, "We are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health."。
