Jumblatt criticizes Trump’s suggestion to arm teachers

MP Walid Jumblatt crtisised on Saturday US President Donald Trump's suggestion of arming school teachers following a series of shooting incidents.

"Instead of putting an end to the outbreak of weapons in his country, where massacres are taking place in schools, universities and elsewhere, US President Donald Trump wants to arm teachers in schools under the slogan of protecting students," Jumblatt tweeted.

"Schools will then become battlefields and students may later be allowed to arm themselves. What a crazy world," he concluded by saying.

الرئيس الاميركي ترامب بدل وضع حد لتفشي السلاح في بلاده والذي من خلاله تقع مجزرة تلو المجزرة في المدارس والجامعات وغيرها من الاماكن ،انه يريد تسليح الاساتذة في المدارس تحت شعار حماية الطلاب .عندها ستتحول المدارس الى ساحات حرب وقد يسمح لاحقا للطلاب بالتسلح .يا له من عالم مجنون pic.twitter.com/jBNH2rBvHj
