It clearly was not written by Trump, but it did give condolences to the victim's families. It took a week for the tweet to come out.

There was a tweet, but not from his personal Twitter account

Last I saw was there was a search underway but no confirmed fatalities.

I thought they were still calling it a search-and-rescue type of operation.

Hopefully they will be found on some obscure fishing boat.

RIP, sailors.

Maybe he wanted to say something but he can't yet because the DOD hasn't talked to their families yet. I agree, though, that a generic, broad comment about praying for sailors on the Fitz would be appropriate.

But overall, I think he tweets only stuff that will benefit him in some way.

he considers his enemies.

Maybe he'd start caring if Gordon Lightfoot wrote a hit song about it.
