Real estate mogul and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted Thursday that a mass-casualty shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C. was “incomprehensible.”
Trump’s tweet referenced a Wednesday attack that occurred at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and left nine black people dead at the hands of white gunman Dylann Roof.
Trump’s tweet is below:
The tragedy in South Carolina is incomprehensible. My deepest condolences to all.

Trump announced his presidential candidacy on Tuesday.
No, The Donald, this is not ‘Incomprehensible.’ African-Americans have been killed en masse since slavery was the law of the land. Nothing new, just in this case it occurs while you are a “presidential candidate” and have to make a statement.
Deep empathetic thoughts from a very serious presidential contender.
“The tragedy in South Carolina is incomprehensible.”
Now where have I heard something like that before?
“I don’t think that anybody could have predicted that these people
would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take
another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an
airplane as a missile”

Have no regard for Trump - he is inferior to something that I would scrape off the bottom of my shoe - but he did a better job of simply responding to this than the pandering opportunistic scum Santorum and Giuliani
Clueless. Just clueless.
