One of the freaks in the regime must have told him “tots & pears” ain’t cutting it anymore.

Only this WH would have to clarify, clean up, underscore, blah, blah, blah a statement condemning a mass shooting.
It’s one thing to criminalize and monetize every aspect of an Administration … but they can’t even throw a humanitarian bone once in a while to keep us off balance though the surprise of said gesture.
At this point, I’d take it even knowing it was scam. The gesture would still have occurred, regardless of the motivation for it being made.

It’s a testament to Trump’s lame, tone deaf response to every one of these tragedies that the White House has to almost immediately come out and tell us what Trump should have said. Although they assert he said all along what they just said, which if true why the hell did they have to come out and say anything?

He’s never heard of deepest sympathy, I suppose.
He’s heard of it but it’s only reserved for MAGA scum like Nick Sandmann. Anyone else deserves the wrath of Rump’s army of “tough people”.

Yes whether PBO used the phrase “act of terror” or “terrorism” was the benghazi semantic meltdown on Fox, wasn’t it?

This meeting, not their first, will not go well. She said to PP in November 2017:
" You know no one marched when I was elected’.”
He’ll then remind the world she’s an unmarried mother.

Compare the response of PM Ahern, and her brilliant reminder that those in the mosque were part of New Zealand, not outsiders or non-relatable. Trump’s shallow and poorly worded comment is no response at all. It is a generic tsk tsk that does nothing to comfort or further the discussion. What a horrible representative he is of the American people and if what I thought were our values.

I spoke with the president, he made it clear that…ah ha ha ha ha. Right. Only Trump speaks for Trump and anyone he sends out is speaking on their own behalf. It’s possible he agreed to let her call this terrorism, but he’s a man who sends warm sympathies in the written form. Clear messages aren’t really his thing.
If Trump wanted to send a clear message about this, he’d demand that his cops, troops, and biker gang stand up against rightwing extremism and bigotry in America. But we all know why that’s not going to happen.

So sad to say chickens are coming home to roost around the world.Trump has to be sweating his ass off hoping he isn’t mentioned in the sick individuals manifesto.

Scratching my head about why he doesn’t reach the same conclusions about identical incidents here at home…and why nothing is being done to address the obvious problem… nudge nudge…wink wink.

You mean Radical Christian Terrorism? Not going to happen.
To paraphrase a familiar acronym INTUYAM (It’s Not Terrorism Unless You’re A Muslim).
Breaking with Bush and Obama, Trump talks about ‘radical Islamic terrorism’
By NAHAL TOOSI 02/28/2017 09:48 PM EST
“We are also taking strong measures to protect our nation from radical Islamic terrorism," Trump said, making sure to emphasize each of the last three words.

Jeffrey Goldberg after Charlottesville:
But the issue here is substantially larger than mere hypocrisy. Obama carefully measured his rhetoric in the war against Islamist terrorism because he hoped to avoid inserting the U.S. into the middle of an internecine struggle consuming another civilization. But the struggle in Charlottesville is a struggle within our own civilization, within Trump’s own civilization. It is precisely at moments like this that an American president should speak up directly on behalf of the American creed, on behalf of Americans who reject tribalism and seek pluralism, on behalf of the idea that blood-and-soil nationalism is antithetical to the American idea itself. Trump’s refusal to call out radical white terrorism for what it is, at precisely the moment America needs its leadership to take a unified stand against hatred, marks what might be the lowest moment of his presidency to date.
Obviously relevant today.

My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the
horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died,
with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for
anything we can do. God bless all!
Followed 4 posts outlining his personal victimhood due to the various investigations by Mueller, Nadler and others and ending with this gem of a post:

…THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO A PRESIDENT AGAIN!
…
So we have a case showing trump’s profound lack of empathy. He used the term term “warmest sympathy” … and I find that a very odd choice of words.

I rather wondered about that: where would Australian citizens – a nation with very strong firearm regulation and general prohibition – get the kind of firepower they used in this attack?
