Here Is Donald Trump, Who Says He Would Run Into a School to Save Kids, Jogging at an Extremely Modest Pace

I’ve never felt more defensive of the sport of jogging!

As you may have heard, Donald Trump, who is afraid of stairs, germs, and being sent to war, says he would have run unarmed into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the mass shooting that killed 17 people. “You don’t know until you test it, but I think, I really believe I would have run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” he said on Monday. This is a rather unconvincing statement for a number of personality-based reasons, and also for reasons having to do with his interest in physical exertion, as you can see in the video above.

Here’s another idea the president shared today: in response to the Florida shooting, instead of regulating civilian access to military-grade weapons, Trump suggested that the U.S. bring back mental institutions. You know, the ones that Ronald Reagan stopped funding. “You know, in the old days we had mental institutions. We had a lot of them,” he said. [Politico]
