The only goddamned “deeply” Trump has ever been in his life is disturbed.

Now, you know Trump didn’t write this. It reads too smoothly.

Is ‘Tragedy’ the right word here ? To this “English as a Second Language”-person it doesn’t seem natural…‘Crime’ or ‘Attack’ appears more right…

I’m very sad that my repeal of the prohibition against mentally ill people owning guns had some real world effect.
On the other hand …
It’s all good . No one killed and it takes Sessions, Russians and all out of the spotlight … what a nice shiny object

tragedy: an event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe.

“a tragedy that killed 95 people”

This is not a tragedy.

Thanks, I guess it is correct “Trump Speak” then…

Trump: This would not have happened if my Muslim Ban had gone into effect. All the blame lies on Obama and his judges.

Good thing everybody is covered under the 2nd amendment. Nothing like an early morning gop hunting spree with a AR-15 and all the ammo you can carry.
Times are a changing and obviously not for the good ever since, ahh you know when…

When will you call for the Congressional guards to disarm, Donnie?

Is it a “tragedy” when the elected representatives that are deliberately attempting to place 23 million Americans in jeopardy of suffering needless death, knowing that tens of thousands of Americans will inevitably die each year, are shot at? Trump seems to have his “tragedies” confused.

The tragedy was the number of Americans who thought you were a remotely appropriate choice for the office of the president.

Yeh, the wording on this is just off.

I’m NOT, in any way, advocating violence. I’m just saying that the description of the sentiment is not quite in sync with what happened.

(Not to mention, the old adage, you reap what you sow…)

We get “deeply saddened” by tragedies in which people die.

Trump literally screws up everything.

According to the NYTimes, Rep. Mo Brooks, who was also at the field, lamented that things might have been different if everyone there had been armed (which would have been legal in Virginia).

There is no limit to the stupidity of these gun nuts.

Mo Brooks on shooter: "He appeared to be a white male, middle-aged, a little on the chubby side.”

There are always thoughts and prayers.
