So, basically, you think that the government should pay for everything, and are willing to exploit a tragedy to make that case.
Got it.
GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE. Article I, section 8 of the U. S. Constitution grants Congress the power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common defense and general Welfare of the United States."

I'm curious many of you think more guns in schools like armed teachers and armed security is the answer, who other than the government is going to pay for to happen?

Trump probably thinks that the students and schools should man up and deal with the tragedies without federal assistance. After all, Trump has always had enough money that he doesn’t understand the value of working together in a society. A society where people are willing to assist one another is stronger than one where everyone is out for themselves. If Trump thinks he earned all his money just with his own mind, he is delusional. Even he had help along the way, and it is selfish to not take care of those who take care of you - whether it is by votes, being a member of the work force, being a consumer of Teumps goods - all of these people helped Trump get to where he is in society, and all of these people were once students. Trump would be powerless without them and he is only hurting himself and his country by refusing to assist those in need of assistance.
President Trump has acted on his promise to donate $1 million of his personal fortune to charities helping with Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, the White House said.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed to The Hill that the president cut checks to 12 organizations helping the Gulf region recover from the monster storm, which devastated swaths of southeast Texas and Louisiana last month.
The Hill confirmed with multiple groups that they received the funds this week
