    Former President Trump on Wednesday offered condolences and expressed grief over the fatal shooting of 19 Texas elementary school students and two teachers a day earlier, saying it was "so hard to think or report about anything else."…

    …"Thank you to the great wisdom and bravery of our Law Enforcement Professionals, and condolences to all who are suffering so gravely with the loss of those incredible souls so close to you," Trump also said. "No words can express the sorrow and grief of this absolutely horrible event. It is a moment in time which will never be forgotten!"

    P    resident Trumps words expressed on Truth Social were the kind of words totally appropriate for the moment. He was so much better than #46 who after a few decent remarks used the event to launch into a tirade against his domestic political opposition. Trump was caring, well reasoned and compassionate in his response to this tragedy.

    More babble from Dirty Donnie the Superspreader Seditionist Swamp Thing trying to stay relevant.

    Any comments from this mass murderer of Americans is meaningless.

    Trump and Cruz are going to an NRA rally in a few days. My money is on both of them making trite political comments.

    Wonder why he has been silent on the recent Buffalo shooting? Actually, I don't really wonder, I know why.

    From the linked article:
    Trump's comments suggest that any post-Tuesday night primary analysis from him will wait.
    ________

    Trump's comments on the TX Shooting are just a convenient way for him to evade talking about the humiliating defeat that his anointed candidate (Perdue) suffered in GA.
    Had Perdue Won, Trump's Statement would have gone like this:

    "Congrats to my good friend David Perdue on his Victory in Georgia last night. A HUGE Win for The MAGA Nation and the people of Georgia. However, it is so hard to think or report about anything else after watching the Texas school 'massacre.'"

    The statement on TS is just another example of Trump being Trump.
    Following the Trump playbook to a tee.
    Cynically using a National Tragedy to avoid addressing his chosen candidate in GA getting his ass handed to him.:smdh:

    Such civility and dialogue you have going there. Even when teachers and kids are murdered in cold blood for no reason you can’t be civil and Trump was.

    Yeah, he's the silent "stoker in fake chief" all of a sudden. Tacit complicity?

    Did his comments need their own thread? There is already a massive thread regarding the Uvalde shooting.

    Hard to imagine that a person who (apparently) supports Trump would start a thread that makes Trump look like a total idiot.
    Trump using this tragedy to weasel out of talking about his Failed Endorsement in Georgia.
    Too funny.

    Civility is for human beings. Dirty Donnie could care less about murdered children, unless, of course, there's something in it for him. He didn't care about all the Americans who died on his watch nor those who continue to die.

    Do you care about murdered children ? Or pandemic victims ? Do you care about Buffalo ? Sandy Hook ? Does your boy Dirty Donnie ?

    That forum is not the same thing as responding to this situation in the moment.

    And then there is the bastard that is your President, let’s go Brandon who used the corpses of teachers and kids to make political points instead of comforting and unifying like Trump did

    The NRA event is a gun free zone as well.

    I wonder why rightists and the NRA doesn't believe a room full of "good guys with guns" is a good idea for their propaganda events?

    It sure didn't take you long to depart from you own thread topic. Was that your intent all along ?

    Honest guess is they, and I were I providing security, would expect some fringe loon from one side or the other to take advantage of making a splash.

    I'm sure the victims' families will be thrilled to see Trump at the next NRA convention.

    And there are some on subtopics related to the shooting like the one on Beto O’Rourke, etc.
