Donald Trump returns to defend the weapons and their legitimate use against attacks. But his speech at the convention of the powerful lobby of the National Rifle Association, becomes almost a show, with the American president who leads, for example, who has chosen to banish guns. He speaks of Paris mimicking the Bataclan terrorists - 'bum, bum', he makes the verse - and he cites London as a 'war zone' for the use of knives. Phrases that bounce off the other side of the ocean, opening up a new confrontation between the United States and Europe. With France that officially expresses its "firm disapproval". "Respect for the victims" is requested, writes the Quai d'Orsay in a statement after Hollande, president at the time of the November 2015 attacks, spoke of "obscene gestures and shameful words". "If someone had been armed" at the Bataclan during the 2015 attack "the terrorists would have escaped or at least would have been hit, and we would have had a different story," Trump says in front of the American arms lobby. Trump infuriates London once again, where the 13 is awaited for July after having postponed the visit on several occasions, even after the threat of strong protests by the British. Defending the weapons and their 'goodness', the American president speaks of an epidemic of stabbings in London so that a hospital in the capital has become a "war zone". "They do not have guns. They have knives and there's blood on the hospital floors. They say that the situation is like that of a hospital in a war zone, "explains Trump, leaving, even in this case, to go into mimicking the stabbings. "London is getting used to" this trend, he adds. Words that rain like a new cold shower on London and complicate relations with Prime Minister Theresa May again, which sees Trump as the main ally. "Says lies about everything" comments on the Labor MP, Charlie Falconier on Twitter. "We can do more to fight the violence" with the knives "but to suggest that the weapons can be part of the solution is ridiculous" comments Karim Brohi, director of the major trauma center in London and surgeon of the Royal London Hospital. "Gunshot wounds are twice as deadly than those caused by knives and much more difficult to heal," he adds. The Trump show at the NRA also draws the criticism from the students of Parkland, the high school theater of the last massacre with weapons. "He is a professional liar," they say. In the days following the Valentine's massacre, Trump had pledged to reform the arms laws, tightening part of the controls. Faced with the audience of the National Rifle Association lobby, the president instead reiterates the need to arm and train teachers to prevent massacres. "The Second Amendment rights are under attack," he adds to the crowd of gun enthusiasts.
