In One Tweet, Trump Just Made The Horrendous Orlando Shooting About Himself

• http://www.trueactivist.com/in-one-tweet-trump-jus

If you haven't yet heard, a mass shooting took place at the gay bar Pulse in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, leaving at least 50 people dead and more than 50 wounded. According to officials, Omar Mateen, a Muslim-American, is the suspected gunman. The tragic massacre has now gone on record as the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Understandably, people have been mourning the incident, questioning what spurs one to commit such a heinous act. But one individual – the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, no less – has used the incident as one more plug for his campaign.

Shortly after the mass shooting made news, Donald Trump took to Twitter.

Yes, the presidential contender reveled in congratulations "for being right on radical Islamic terrorism." Of course, he followed the self-congratulatory sentiment with "I don't want congrats, I want toughness and vigilance. We must be smart!"

Immediately, the business tycoon received negative backlash from Twitter users. Clearly, people don't appreciate him using the massacre as a public relations stunt.

Since being right is now defined as being about yourself? The attacker was known by the government, Passed several vetting processes for both being a guard as well as having the ability to have a concealed carry. Was a muslim with parents that had Taliban leanings. And a registered democrat. Some of his coworkers even admitted he talked of killing.
