Former US President Donald Trump has made a flying visit to the Apalachee High School in Georgia, the scene of the latest deadly school shooting. (main picture)

Mr Trump inspected the massive floral tribute outside the school, complained that it aggravated his hay fever, then went to the school’s auditorium to speak at parents of students including those whose children were killed or wounded, as well as teachers.

He spent most of his three-hour speech relating his own experience in being shot in July at an outdoor rally and telling parents he had been “saved by God”.

“God only ever saves stable geniuses like me so I can Make America Great Again. He lets the losers and suckers die,” he said while a video crew captured many in the audience weeping uncontrollably – footage, it was explained, that would be used in a Trump online political advertisement.

“When I heard about this shoot…, err, I mean when I heard that someone had exercise their second amendment rights here, I just had to come to be with you,” he told the crowd, before adding, “After all Georgia is an important swing state this year.”

He went on to suggest that the blame for the fatal shooting lay with Vice-President Kamal Harris, and said he had already posted a message on his Truth Social app questioning Ms Harris’s whereabouts at the time of the incident.

“Who knows what Krazy Kamala is kapable of? I kan’t rule out her involvement, kan you?” he said.

Drawing his lengthy address to a close, Mr Trump was told by an aide that he had not mentioned the children killed or injured in the Apalache shooting.

“Oh yeah,” he added just before walking from the microphone. “My T&Ps are with you.”

It was left to the aide to explain to the crowd that “T&Ps” was the by-then departed former President’s way of expressing “thoughts and prayers”.

Meanwhile in Novax, North Carolina, Mr Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance, told a crowd at a Republican Party rally that the Apalachee incident highlighted the fact that America led the world in school shooting fatalities, at which the crowd burst into a lengthy chant of “USA!, USA!, USA!” that continued for a full 10 minutes.
