Trump to Ohio shooting survivors: God was watching, Melania and I are with you all the way

In Dayton, Trump and his wife Melania spent most of their time meeting patients and staff at Miami Valley Hospital, White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said.

Trump told shooting survivors, “you had God watching. I want you to know we’re with you all the way,” according to Grisham.

Protesters gathered, holding signs that called for restrictions on gun buying and in one case simply demanding that politicians “Do something!” A Trump baby blimp, an inflatable effigy of the president in nappies, made an appearance.

“We don’t want him here,” one resident, Lynell Graham, told CNN, echoing earlier comments by Dayton’s Democratic mayor Nan Whaley, who said she planned to tell Trump “how unhelpful he’s being.”

These injured victims are in the hospital because they are really sick from their wounds. .... probably critical! Probably didn't know what was going on.... otherwise, they would of been discharged.

“God was watching “? God was watching a crazed murderer shooting innocent people down in cold blood? What a stupid thing to say.

Melania must have gotten a little bump in the paycheck this week since she's on the trip.

So, God was watching over SOME of the people? Did God pick those not killed randomly?

I agree, what a stupid thing to say to someone who is suffering with the pain and anxiety after being shot. Offer to pay everyone’s hospital and therapy bills, big spender.
