I'm sorry for your loss. However Trump did nothing about the school shooting here in Santa Fe, Tx

I wonder if his daughter would still be alive today Governor Scott haven't cut Florida's mental health care budget

Stricter back ground checks!!!

So red flag laws are cool now?

so, he supports don based on what exactly? because he's basically done nothing to address the issues, gun safety laws or otherwise.

Well said Sir!!!!Trump2020

You’re out of your mind if you think anyone believes he learned anything about anything except how to avoid responsibility for any mistakes. That is his only talent avoiding accountability.

Oh my.... tRUmp is incapable of being a friend. So sad this nice person Herschel is so deluded.

C'mon Hershel, he is a common cheat and liar. If you've known him for 37 years then you must have decided to let him slide responsibility.

Herschel Walker just fumbled!

Obviously Herschel Walker has CTE.. Sad

I feel bad for this man that 1) his child was murdered and 2) he believes Trump cares about him

AndrewPollackFL Thank you for sharing your story. I am sincerely sorry for your loss

Reverting back to false flag shootings. Where is David Hogg, too bad there are no movies on the Sandy Hook shooting because nobody who was involved in their right mind want to be interviewed and questioned

Former player Herschel Walker came out of hiding
