Drumpf tweet - re: mass shooting in Las Vegas [View all] BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 OP

"Warmest condolences"?!? He even managed to fuck that up. catbyte Oct 2017 #1

It is literally about as tone deaf as one can be BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #2

Beat me to it! What an odd thing to say. Chasstev365 Oct 2017 #8

My first reaction too. spiderpig Oct 2017 #9

I found the wording odd, too, but a quick Google check shows it's considered fairly standard, highplainsdem Oct 2017 #11

That might make sense for someone who has died after an illness or "old age", etc. BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #13

You're right. But I'm guessing Trump reached for wording he's used to. highplainsdem Oct 2017 #15

Seriously malaise Oct 2017 #22

No he is not. Zoonart Oct 2017 #31

Sounds like he never sent a sympathy card in his life dalton99a Oct 2017 #25

Sounds like a holiday greeting.... Historic NY Oct 2017 #26

Google "warmest condolences" onenote Oct 2017 #29

Yes - you see that on cards BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #36

I read that and was like "is this guy even human or some sort of alien life form?" Neema Oct 2017 #33

Deep. Inspired. Inspiring. Kittycow Oct 2017 #3

Warmest condolences... Freedomofspeech Oct 2017 #4

Warmest condolences? What the? yardwork Oct 2017 #5

Here is Nancy Pelosi's tweet BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #14

His tweets are easily identifiable. That's not one of them. Vinca Oct 2017 #16

That's my take on that tweet too. arthritisR_US Oct 2017 #18

Your suggesting that this sociopathic tweet couldn't possibly be his? Pachamama Oct 2017 #21

Yep, probably written by Stephen Miller or another of his "handlers." No way in hell he wrote that anneboleyn Oct 2017 #24

Warmest? Warmest??? Seriously? WTF???? Pachamama Oct 2017 #19

Time for 25th amendment. nt BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #23

He's very unhappy that the spotlight is not on him today dalton99a Oct 2017 #27

He'll find a way to get attention - in the meantime BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #28

I don't see the two tweets as being that much different. Except that trump probably didn't tweet mucifer Oct 2017 #30

"warmest condolences" BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #32

I hate the phrase god bless you in general but especially in this context Blue_Adept Oct 2017 #34

The whole thing tone deaf and disjointed. nt BumRushDaShow Oct 2017 #35
