President Donald Trump has been dragged on Twitter after claiming that he would have confronted the Florida school shooter– without a gun!
Trump, speaking with state governors at the White House as they try to come to a consensus regarding gun violence claimed that he would have had no qualms putting his life on the line and gone after the armed shooter with his bare hands.
He said; “I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too,”
He also added that one never really knows what he is capable of until you find yourself in the situation.
The story of Trump’s bold claim came out and the internet went ballistic. No one believed even for a second that he would honestly put his life on the line for people.
The President was severely mocked with several memes and gifs coming out with jokes at his expense.
Check out some of the very best ones below.
1. Trump can’t run.
2. Trump was afraid of a birdie on his desk.
3. Trump got 4-5 draft deferments.
4. Thank you, @realDonaldTrump for providing comic relief today.

He would've run in there unarmed? Show of hands: how many of you would feel safe relying on the physical bravery of Donald Trump as a volunteer guarding your kids' school?

Trump said he would charge a gunman. Here’s what he’s actually done in the face of danger:
Five Vietnam draft deferments. Ducking when rushed. Shrinking from an eagle. For all his brave talk, Trump is a yellow-bellied coward at heart.#TremblingTrump https://t.co/4JZXBZ9ktO

Trump: “You know I really believe, you don't know until you test it, but I think, I really believe I'd run in. Even if I didn't have a weapon.”
There’s a lot in there that I doubt. But the part I really don’t believe, is that he can run. #LSSC pic.twitter.com/uZg3O7O2t4

You mean, just like the time Trump charged through machine gun fire to retrieve a wounded fellow Marine during a battle in Quang Tri Province?
Oh. Wait. That was Mueller. https://t.co/03JxGWRBI4

Trump says he would have "run into" the high school to confront the shooter, even if he was unarmed. Sort of like he ran to serve in Vietnam.#CadetBoneSpurs #NeverAgain

375 days since last legitimate press conference, Trump is a coward even answering questions.
