A day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines, Donald Trump returned to the state at a campaign event and told residents that they “have to get over it.”

During his speech at Sioux Center, Iowa, the former president gave his thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, emphasizing that “we’re really with you as much as anybody can be.” After stating the tragedy was “terrible” and “horrible,” Trump insisted: “We have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward.”

    Not just him, though.

    This is one of those things where he’s going to get praised by an alarming number of people who have been thinking this for years but didn’t think they could say it.

    Trump has done an incredible job of clearing the air of all the bullshit arguments. The problem is and has always been that a large portion of our population are terrible people. That’s it. That’s the long and short of it.
