WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former President Donald Trump on Friday will call for a “drastic” change to the United States’ approach to mental health issues and a security overhaul at schools following this week’s shooting at a Texas school by a gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers.
“We need to drastically change our approach to mental health. There are always so many warning signs. Almost all of these disfigured minds share the same profile,” Trump was expected to say at the annual meeting of the biggest U.S. gun lobby, the National Rifle Association, in Houston, according to excerpts from his speech seen by Reuters.
