After Leonard told of the arrest, Trump joked: “ That was so modest. I would have told it much differently. I would have said without me, they never would have found him.” Trump’s motorcade left Fort Lauderdale at 8:45 p.m. and headed north on Interstate 95 to Palm Beach County.

Many Democrats and others have called for tighter gun restrictions in the wake of the shooting, but Trump did not respond to one reporter’s shouted question in Pompano Beach about gun laws. In a tweet from Washington on Friday morning, Trump said he would be meeting with “some of the bravest people on earth — but people whose lives have been totally shattered. Am also working with Congress on many fronts.”
