Has Trump even responded to the fake Hawaii threat?

Sorry if this was already covered, I searched and couldn’t find anything.
Shouldn’t he be large and in charge and addressing the nation within minutes when something like this happens? Has he even woken up yet today?
Just the fact that it was actually FAKE NEWS should have had him logging on to Twitter to whine about it in seconds.
Commander In Chief was a no show as far as I can tell.

Former Guantanamo Chief Prosecutor Col. Morris Davis took to Twitter Saturday afternoon to criticize President Donald Trump for continuing his golf game as Americans in Hawaii were panicking over a mistaken missile threat.

“For 38 minutes American citizens in Hawaii braced for a ballistic missile strike … and @realDonaldTrump continued his round of golf in Florida on his 120th taxpayer funded vacation day in less than a year,” Morris tweeted, linking to a Fox New report.

... then a state should have the right to legalize drugs without federal interference.

In the event that a nuclear ICBM is heading toward my house, I'm going to light up a joint and put Pink Floyd on the big stereo. Loud.

Narcissists are angry when even something serious interrupts their routine or fun time.
They will get mad if someone doesn't show for a lunch date because of a serious car accident
and the person is in the hospital.
