ideas that have NOT come out of the White House. That scares me. And somewhere there's a dolt who likes Trump who will be absolutely fine with this and think it's a great idea.

The idea was dreamed up by a team tasked by the President’s daughter Invanka to stop shooters butchering American people.
Bob Wright, a former NBC chairman and longtime Trump aide, is the leading force behind the idea.
He has plans to form Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), to tackle such problems.
Following the El Paso massacre, Ivanka Trump asked experts to come up with a number of proposals to stop the bloodbath, The Washington Post reports.
Mr Wright’s team have produced a three-page document called “Stopping Aberrant Fatal Events by Helping Overcome Mental Extremes”.
The Trump administration links mass shootings to mental health rather than lax gun laws.
The document also urges the government to explore whether technology could detect when people with mental health difficulties are about to become violent.
But the ideas have been slammed as infringing civil liberties.
Marisa Randazzo, former chief research psychologist for the US Secret Service, told the Post the initial premise was itself flawed.
She said: “Everything we know from research tells us it’s a weak link at best.”
The latest shooting spree in El Paso massacre on August 3 where 22 were killed was carried out by a man with racist motivations.
Hours later an extreme left shooter shot dead 20 people in Dayton, Ohio.
But conservatives in the US who are keen to keep easy access to weapons claim mental health problems was to blame.
Following the El Paso and Ohio mass shootings, Trump said: “I don’t want people to forget that this is a mental health problem.
“I don’t want them to forget that, because it is. It’s a mental health problem.
“It’s the people that pull the trigger, it’s not the gun that pulls the trigger.”

Well, to start with you're quoting a tabloid.

Here's the article I read on it. A bit more informative and less sensational.
https://www.chron.com/news/article/White-House-weighs-controversial-plan-on-mental-14425207.php
Still a bad idea, even if it didn't come out of the White House. Kinda reeks of a setup too, but I don't think he will bite on it. How an idea like this even gets through the door of the White House is concerning, but I guess in theory they can at least look at all options.

i think we both agree:
it doesn't seem like a good idea
it will never see the light of day of being presented as a good idea
it was born in brainstorming to explore all options and should die there too

It's in the Title of the article. It is then supported by the first two sentences:
"The idea(of using phones to track the mentally ill) was dreamed up by a team tasked by the President’s daughter Invanka to stop shooters butchering American people.
Bob Wright, a former NBC chairman and longtime Trump aide, is the leading force behind the idea(of using phones to track the mentally ill).
The "idea" reflects the claim made in the title", and the rest of the article elaborates the point.
It's hiding there, in plain site. s

am i missing the part where they discuss using phones to deter mental patients from mass shootings?

That only leaves moronic proposals to stop the epidemic of mass murder of innocent Americans.
