Trump’s Hypocrisy On Terrorism DESTROYED By One Brilliant Tweet

http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/politics/trumps-hypocrisy-on-terrorism-destroyed-by-one-brilliant-tweet-tweet/

The death toll in the Brussels terrorist attack now stands at over 30. Predictably, the GOP presidential candidates were tweeting about the attack before they had even changed out of their pajamas. Donald Trump in particular raised the ire of many both in Europe and at home with a tweet that tried to tie the event to American politics and failed to even mention any thoughts of sympathy for the victims.

Trump has been calling for months to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. “until we can figure out what the hell is going on.” And today he is doubling down, with tweets like this:
Watch this clip from earlier this year. Time & time again I have been right about terrorism. It’s time to get tough! https://t.co/8mnY3GFRzw
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 22, 2016...

Is that the perfect “ugly American” or what? “I told you so about terrorism. Now, vote for me!”

One Twitter user, “Bobby Big Wheel,” perfectly summed up the BS and hypocrisy of Trump, as well as his fellow Republicans when it comes to the way they respond to terrorism with one tweet:
26 dead in Brussels: “Close the borders, it could happen here!”
26 dead in Newtown: “That’s just how it is in America, get used to it.”

You summed it up quite well. Remember though that Trump and sympathy and understanding don't really go together; empathy in his head is for sissies and understanding is for those who don't vote for him.
How much lower can you go? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Achsa.
