President Donald Trump spoke of guns and violence as children surrounded him at an Oval Office signing ceremony.
The president, moments after The Daily Signal’s Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell mentioned a recent interview where he suggested that arming the Iranian people could help them “fight back” against their country’s regime, declined to say whether the U.S. would arm them soon, before turning to their lack of guns.
“So you could have 200,000 people protesting and have five or six people with guns,” Trump said. “And when they start shooting them right between the eyes and you see a guy fall and another fall and you have no guns —.”
As Trump painted graphic imagery to reporters in the Oval Office, several kids — none of whom appeared old enough to attend an R-rated movie alone — stood around him at the Resolute desk.
The youngsters stood by the commander-in-chief for a photo-op as he signed an executive order to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test to public schools.
