Trump Confuses Mass Shootings Tweeting Condolences to Texas Hours After Tragedy in California

Source: People

President Donald Trump expressed his condolences for the wrong mass shooting after four people were fatally shot and at least ten injured in Northern California Tuesday.

“May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived,” Trump, 71, tweeted close to midnight Wednesday.

The commander-in-chief failed to recognize the latest massacre in Rancho Tehama Reserve, California, on Tuesday morning when a lone gunman occurred went on a random shooting spree in around the tiny community and targeted the local elementary school.

Rancho Tehama is about 190 miles north of San Francisco.

Sutherland Springs, Texas, was the location of the Nov. 5 church shooting where 25 people and an unborn child were killed.

Twitter users quickly slammed Trump with many calling out his inability to remember each mass shooting that has taken place this year.

Who cares about about all those liberal loonies in California, right? Trump does remember the tragedies in the red state of Texas, however.

They are only useful for an occasional photo op. Just like the hurricanes where he shows up to toss out some paper towels to clean up the mess. He hops on his jet the people pay for and give them a hardy fair well as he snuggled down in his plush make lounge chair. Ah, he sighs, another successful ruse as he dozes off.

Admit it folks we are literally screwed, blued and tattooed. Today's citizen is a far cry from our ancestors who took up arms and shed their blood to demand justice. The masses sit back and allow the oligarchy to rob them blind and lick their boots in gratitude when they throw them a few scraps. We deserve the literally they generous fucking they are more than glad to provide. So just grin and bare it suckers. It ain't going to get better until people demand justice. It is as simple as that.

In all fairness it is getting hard to keep the mass shootings straight. What is this the 3rd or 4th in 6 weeks? I think the LV shooting hid another shooting in the midwest. But it doesn't seem to matter for us to make changes.

should be able to keep them straight.

I'd guess he's as concerned about that as he was about recalling the name of Sgt. La David Johnson.

The train to crazy town has arrived and trump is standing squarely in the station confused and dazed.

He is no longer in control of his faculties.

He is suffering from dementia or some other form of mental degradation, and it is obvious and irrefutable.

A normal person could get confused. A person with dementia is normally confused, and uses that is where he is now. He reacts to the moment, and gets facts and details very wrong.

He is a mental train wreck.

McConnell would be flapping his jowls on every news outlet, condemning Obama for failing in this most basic expression of human sympathy.

"How can this president demonstrate such flagrant disrespect for the American people in this tragic time of mourning," McConnell would burble. "We must ask ourselves whether the president truly understands the responsibilities of his office."

But Trump does it?

"Meh," sez McConnell.

...that is most disturbing about Twitler. When he does this, he makes it apparent that such an event doesn't really affect him. It's appalling leadership.

When I see a blatant lack of humanity like this, I wonder why I even bother arguing with his supporters on Twitter. This is beyond ignorance, it's kind of unhuman. He won't even delete it or apologize.

So the media has raised the kill count minimum to even report it.

It used to be at least 4 is a mass shooting. Now that's become the new normal everyday occurrence so we just become numb to it.

But even all those church people and country music fans and the small kids in Newtown didn't make a difference to Repubs.
