Braking news - Commenting on Vegas shooting Trump did not act like imbecile

[Xipe Totec]

Media outlets are calling it unprecedented.

1. have they claimed he was 'presidential'?? just curious as I am not

near a tv this morning.

[madaboutharry]

3. No.

In a kind of diplomatic way, their comments are along the line of "He read a statement" and he's still a jerk.

[doodsaq]

2. Is Van Jones crying yet?

[Egnever]

4. Statement he made was clearly not his words.

5. It's galactic-size presidential - he can read something somebody wrote

[MadCrow]

6. My guess

is that somebody else wrote his comments and at least he had the good sense not to ad lib his thoughts . Be grateful for small miracles.

[Borchkins]

7. I think offering "warmest condolences"

is pretty imbecilic.

[LuckyLib]

10. Completely inappropriate phrasing. Nobody says that.

He's an asshole.

[Turbineguy]

12. Around here people generally seem to think

that Trump leaps out of bed in the morning and tweets something stupid.

But what if tweeting is the second or third thing he does....?

That would mean he does even more stupid things that we don't find out about.

8. Don't worry, at some point in the week he will let us know

"There were good people on both sides."

[LittleBlue]

9. A broken clock

Maybe it wasn't him tweeting.

[YCHDT]

11. Well, most of the crowd was white so ... still not giving him this one

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Hey! Give him a break.........

as the rest of the Pugs will say, "He's still learning!"

Who knows, in another 10 or 12 years he actually might be up to a "Junior High" standard!

[bdamomma]

14. maybe he was told to

be somber, and stay on script. But him being sincere give me a break, don't you think he is saying they are NOT talking about Puerto Rico now.....sigh.

[WhiteTara]

15. Trying to be the Preacher in Chief is not his job!

We need policy from him. He is a nightmare.

[ffr]

16. Where was his golf trophy dedicated to the 58 massacred Americans?

...the 500 injured and the thousands who have now lived through a live peacetime massacre of civilians.

The media didn't ask him about that!

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Breaking News: Trump can read, after all!

Well, sort of.
