My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!

This marks the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Authorities have identified 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, as the shooter who was killed by police on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino after he went on a shooting rampage at a music festival across the street.

1. He forgot "best regards"

[bullwinkle428]

6. And finished off with "HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!"

Ladies and gentlemen...the Trumpbot 2000.

[RhodeIslandOne]

9. "Vote Heller!"

[Madam45for2923]

26. & "good luck"

[jberryhill]

2. Condolences surrounded by warmth. Big warmth

He doesn't know that condolences are measured in depth.

[brush]

10. He's just always "off" on things. Poor language skills in a president. We've never had this before.

Even W, with his mangling, could at least sound the right tone on things like this.

[jberryhill]

15. W would cross wires

When he said he knows how hard it is to "put food on your family", he was thinking "put food on the table" and "feed your family". With Trump, it's more as if he is unable to express empathy and genuinely does not feel it, hence he is unfamiliar with the vocabulary of it.

[3catwoman3]

17. You can't give what...

...you haven't got.

He is devoid of any human decency.

[eShirl]

38. I think it's because he's faking concern for anyone other than himself.

[bdamomma]

29. yeah

it should be deepest condolences. What do you expect from a jerk who doesn't know shit.

What is this shooters motive??? just picking off people on a rooftop. And if he had some psychiatric/mental health issue, like off his meds this administration is allowing people with mental health problems to be owners of fire arms. It is just sick.

[uponit7771]

3. He'll point the injured to one of his hotels they can stay in for a .24% discount

[Control-Z]

32. That would be a 24% fee.

For allowing riffraff on his property.

[JenniferJuniper]

4. "Warmest Condolences"

That's a new one.

Have a happy Columbus Day also.

[femmocrat]

5. He has zero command of the English language.

Plus, he probably didn't even write that. I thought it was weird, too.

[RhodeIslandOne]

7. He lost Nevada, so he's mixed.

[bdamomma]

8. tweeting what a fucking coward

instead of coming out with a statement in person. What a fucking stupid man.

Geez, could he (Trump) be the Satan incarnate?

[Calculating]

13. No

He's a bit too dumb to be Satan.

[Takket]

11. He'll need to attend another golf tourney

So he can dedicate another trophy to the victims

[tblue37]

12. Remember, he told people at a shelter following the Texas hurricane to "have a good time"! nt

[mucifer]

14. I honestly don't understand why DU is freaking out about this. He constantly does horrible tweets

this one didn't seem bad to me.
He didn't say have a good time.
He didn't blame the democrats.
He didn't blame isis.
He chose one bad word and it wasn't that bad of a word.

[mnhtnbb]

16. It's the insincerity of it. Trite. And when

Has Trump ever shown any warmth to anyone?

[LuckyCharms]

19. Personally, it is because you know the guy does not have a sincere bone

in his body. I think you are correct in saying there is really nothing wrong with what he said, but it is certainly not the best thing he could have said, and he should have said more...words of reassurance. You would think the people writing this shit for him could do a better job. The country is mourning, and he puts out some feeble crap. I don't mean to direct my disgust toward you, he just pisses me off so much. The guy would fuck up a one car funeral.

[jberryhill]

27. The "bad word choice" stems from a deeper issue

He cannot express emotions he does not have.

[smirkymonkey]

18. What a clueless twit.

Please, just keep him away from the media. He can only do harm at this point.

[bdamomma]

22. well horrible as this is

the news cycle reporting will change from Puerto Rico to Las Vegas, correct?

More casualties.

[smirkymonkey]

30. Yes, maybe there is a method to his madness after all.

Sick, but effective as far as his media coverage is concerned.

[bdamomma]

33. but Mueller is still in the

background collecting information huh? keeping very silent too.

[FSogol]

20. Will he dedicate today's golf trophy to them?

[bluepen]

21. The warmest condolences you have ever felt!

That, I can tell you.”

[bdamomma]

23. He is so insincere.

nt

[jberryhill]

25. A lot of people say he has the warmest condolences.

[MoonRiver]

24. I'm sure all the traumatized victims feel all warm and fuzzy now.

[C_U_L8R]

28. Maybe he'll dedicate a trophy to them too

[HopeAgain]

31. Trump doesn't do empathy

Not capable as a narcissist. But as a narcissist, he won't let staff write the Tweet for him.

[MineralMan]

34. "Warmest Condolences," the like of which the world has never seen?

Trump needs more words and better words. Bigly.

[Kber]

35. It would seem that he is not experienced with expressing sympathy

[COLGATE4]

36. It's a miracle he didn't end it with "MAGA"

[JDC]

37. "Kind Regards," *45

[demmiblue]

39. Oy. n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

40. "Now watch this drive!" n/t

[uppityperson]

41. K&R for Wtf. "Warmest condolences"??

[1time zygote]

42. No empathy in his heart

No compassion in his words. No one is surprised that Drumpf's words make no sense! Sense nor empathy can't be found in him!

[gopiscrap]

43. welcome to DU
