Trump Urges Iowans to 'Move Forward' from School Shooting Amid Campaign Stops

TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump, addressing a recent school shooting in Iowa that resulted in the death of a sixth grader and injuries to seven others, told the community they have to "get over it" and "move forward." His comments, which came after a period of silence on the tragedy, have been criticized for lacking empathy, reminiscent of past instances where his responses to crises were seen as insensitive. Trump also used his speech to mock President Joe Biden's earlier address, which portrayed Trump as a threat to democracy.
