Trump is like a wrecking ball leaving children in his wake. A president is supposed to care about all people, not just the ones of voting age who agree with his agenda. On March 24, 2018, when the kids came to Washington the president ran away. The trip to his resort in Florida suddenly became the moral imperative rather than the responsibilities of the office to which he had been elected.
Some weeks earlier he had held listening sessions but when he had an opportunity to apply what he had learned, the president ran away. Trump seemed to run as fast as his Chicken Little legs could take him. The sky is falling, has fallen on the victims of gun violence. Arguably, a committed leader would be running to help those kids and all Americans. And yet, when their collective voices were raised, the president ran away.
Emma Gonzalez, a survivor of the Parkland shooting spree, ran toward the falling sky.
