Already, Schiller's $15,000 monthly "site selection consulting fee" is more than he made working in the White House, where his annual salary was $165,000. It's also more than Schiller made working for the Trump campaign, which reported paying KS Global Group $10,000 a month starting in July of 2016.

Ironically — or perhaps not — the most prominent figure to have used paid actors in a political event recently was Donald Trump, who retained a firm to assemble actors to cheer for his announcement speech, at a rate of $50 each. The firm lodged a complaint with the Federal Election Commission because the Trump campaign failed to pay its bill (the campaign did eventually pay).

The father of an 18-year-old girl killed last week in a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., made an impassioned plea to President Trump on Wednesday at the White House to act quickly to protect children in the country’s schools.

“We’re here because my daughter has no voice — she was murdered last week, shot nine times,” said Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was one of the 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. “How many schools, how many children have to get shot? It stops here, with this administration and me.”

Mr. Pollack was an unannounced guest at a listening session in the State Dining Room of the White House, which called the session a discussion of school safety.

“We’re going to do something about this horrible situation,” Mr. Trump said as he opened the session, adding that his administration would be “very strong on background checks” of those wishing to purchase guns, and put “a very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody.”

But what began with a recitation of somber statements and vows to act quickly became emotional when Mr. Pollack took the microphone, venting raw anger and grief. “It should have been one school shooting, and we should have fixed it, and I’m pissed,” Mr. Pollack said, raising his voice as he looked at Mr. Trump, “because my daughter, I’m not going to see again.”

Mr. Pollack said he did not favor adopting new gun restrictions, but pleaded for Democrats and Republicans to come together to create new school safety measures. “It’s not about gun laws right now — that’s another fight, another battle,” he said. “We need our children safe.”

The US president said he will consider a proposal to arm school teachers in an attempt to prevent mass shootings

Donald Trump has said he will consider a proposal to arm school teachers in an attempt to prevent mass shootings, a move certain to prove fiercely divisive.

The US president, holding a listening session at the White House with survivors of last week’s Florida school shooting and others affected by gun violence, claimed that allowing airline pilots to carry and conceal guns had demonstrated the measure could be a success.

“It only works when you have people very adept at using firearms, of which you have many,” Trump said. “It would be teachers and coaches.”

Referring to Aaron Feis, a football coach who used his body as a shield to protect a student during the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, the president continued: “If the coach had a firearm in his locker when he ran at this guy - that coach was very brave, saved a lot of lives, I suspect.

“But if he had a firearm, he wouldn’t have had to run, he would have shot him, and that would have been the end of it. This would only obviously be for people who are very adept at handling a gun. It’s called concealed carry, where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them. They’d go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun free zone.”

Trump added: “Gun free zone to a maniac - because they’re all cowards - a gun free zone is, ‘let’s go in and let’s attack, because bullets aren’t coming back at us’... It’s certainly a point that we’ll discuss.”

The president asked for a show of hands in the room over the proposal: some agreed with it, others disagreed.

Trump’s proposal, which also followed an assertion to he would be “very strong” on background checks, came after survivors of last week’s shooting and bereaved parents from Parkland, Columbine and Sandy Hook addressed him
