Warmest sympathy?

Trump tweeted “Warmest sympathy and best wishes” on the New Zealand massacre.

What planet was this idiot raised on? Who sends best wishes to people who’ve just seen their fellow citizens slaughtered? Who send “warmest sympathy?” Is Donald Trump even a member of the human race? I’m beginning to think not. Or maybe it’s just a matter of grinding stupidity and lack of human decency.

2. trump* is a pathologically narcissistic misanthrope. He is incapable of feeling empathy/sympathy

He is entirely self-focused and all he can feel is gleeful greed and anger.

IMHO, of course.

and thought maybe I was being too harsh or biased since I hadn't seen anyone else mention it.

He can't even compose a simple offering of condolence without sounding like a moron. It's especially striking when read next to the statements from other world leaders. He never fails to embarrass us. SMDH.

4. "Best wishes" is what you might say at a wedding or a retirement party

or something like that. It's not how you express condolences for a mass murder. Donny D-Bag hasn't the faintest idea how to behave.

His words were as empty and hollow as his soul. What a sickening attempt at trying to mimic the actions of a real human being.
