After a shooting Tuesday in California left four people dead, President Donald Trump attempted to offer his condolences in a tweet on his way back from his Asia trip.

However, Trump tweeted a message about the shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, which occurred earlier this month.

“May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived,” the since-deleted tweet read.

The message was very similar to the Tweet he published right after the Texas shooting on November 5, suggesting that Trump or someone on his staff copied and pasted the last tweet and forgot to change the location of the shooting.

    Since no one can hold his attention on anything for more than a minute, is it any surprise he gets all the mass shootings mixed up?

  2. It’s time for an intervention/trip to the White House similar to Republicans Barry Goldwater, John Rhodes, and Hugh Scott going to speak with Nixon in the Oval Office during the Watergate affair.

    Based on the differences between those guys and the current republican leadership, you’re going to be waiting a long time for that conversation.

  4. “My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and victims of the Valentine’s Day Massacre. These MS-13 thugs will be brought to justice!! AG Sessions will have them in 2-3 weeks! #MAGA!”

  5. “I’d also like to send my support to Mr & Mrs Lindbergh and hope their baby is returned safely”
