Pres. Trump condemns 'racism, bigotry and white supremacy' after weekend of mass shootings; discusses mental illness, video games, death penalty, social media; avoids calling for any specific gun control laws, despite earlier tweet about background checks.

The president did not specifically condemn anti-immigrant rhetoric on Monday, instead blaming violent video games and mental illness for the scourge of mass shootings that have been a steady drumbeat throughout his presidency. It is unclear if either of those were factors played a role in the Texas shooting or the second attack early Sunday morning in Dayton, Ohio.

Trump avoided calling for any specific gun control laws, in contrast to a tweet hours before his White House remarks in which he said Congress should pass background-check legislation tied to immigration reform, a move that could give Republicans leverage over Democrats in passing controversial immigration measures.

It isn't known yet whether background checks or red flag laws could have played a role in preventing the two weekend shootings.

Racist hypocrite!

He read that Unlikely he really means it. Time and future tweets will demonstrate the facts

realDonaldTrump Condemns himself by his own words-Racism, Bigotry & White Supremacy. Trump “pulls the trigger” every time he spews his hate for people of color.

He then went on to commend the talents of Whitney Dallas and John Boulder, confusing their last names a bit and saying, 'Well, you know, those cities in Texas and Colorado. Whatever.'

This sham press conference was the scumbag trump giving the republicans a virtual blowjob.

The real Donald Trump is the one you see at his rallies and on Twitter not reading like a robot what somebody wrote for him to say. Wait to see what he says once he is on his own.

Wow! It sounds like the majority of Trump-haters are a bunch of coke-addicts. The way they can't accept the reality that President Trump IS NOT A RACIST & NEVER HAS BEEN! Those haters have obviously been brainwashed which was easy seeing as they had no common sense to start with.

this is not mental health, games, or anything else this is all about guns that should be in the hands of our military not civilians.

Yes realDonaldTrump will continue to spread hate and lies every chance he gets. And refuses to address real gun controls. Hypocrite

Why wont they tell that White Supremacist are domestic terrorist... why?!! Why is it soo hard to put them on that line... because they are white?

Damn you ,CBSNews ,CNN ,ABC Quit normalizing trump. His speech was robotic and passionless. He doesnt give a fu*k about what happened. He wont stop the HateSpeech . Tell it like it is. Like beto did.

HOW DOES HE LIE SO EASILY Really? How?

He condemned himself?

Trump did not Condemn anything regarding the shootings. He will do nothing, he is a coward. The victims blood is on his hands alone.

But he did not own his own words his own rallies of hate
