President Trump Wants To Blame Violence On Video Games. Here’s Why That Won’t Work.

President Donald Trump will host a White House summit on Thursday with members of the video game community, video game manufacturers, and video game critics, in an apparent effort to address the “violence” the president believes video games have fostered in society.

Trump told media last week that he believes there’s a connection between first person shooter and other violent video games and mass shootings, like the one that happened in Parkland, Florida, in February. This week, the White House followed up on that, convening a group they believe will fully inform the president on the issue.
