Trump Busted For Plagiarizing His Orlando Mass Shooting Tweet

It looks like Trump flagrantly copy & pasted @SebGorka's unsourced 2:03pm tweet, tweaked it, and posted at 2:52pm

In the early moments after the attack, Trump began by sending out a vague reaction to the attack claiming he was thinking of the victims, only to follow it up with a random, unrelated smear directed at Hillary Clinton. Since then, he’s released a torrent of anti-Muslim bigotry. He’s congratulated himself for being “right” about Muslims. He never once mentioned the heartbreaking fact that the attack was in an iconic gay night club and most of the victims were LGBTQ. Nor has he mentioned that this appears to be as much an anti-gay hate crime as an Islamic terror attack.

Oh and he also stole a reporter’s tweet and passed it off as his own so as to not have to share the spotlight with someone else even for one second.

CNN’s Brian Stelter caught him red handed.

He was absolutely reamed for his "people are congratulating me" tweets this morning, but he just toddles full speed ahead and tweets more crap and even PLAGIARIZES it when he knows more people than ever are looking at his feed.

I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be inside his head and to try to follow what pass for his thought processes.
