I think it's supposed to be "fellow officers of the officers who died."

And yes, THREE people died today.

I don't believe for a minute that this tweet came from Trump. It has "staffer" all over it.

He was pissed off that he had to go on record about this today. He was pimping his job numbers and taking a victory lap over the Veteran's bill he signed in the same breath as talking about Virginia.

But what's even more disturbing is his failure to mention at all the person who was killed and those who were injured.

He doesn't care about this at all. It interrupted his day. Every time he's been on camera he's looked pissed off. Not pissed off that people were killed and injured. Pissed off that his Saturday was interrupted.

A member of Trump's remaining base killed an innocent person and injured others, he can't give his deepest condolences to those people.

He wrote that between two holes while playing golf???

He should have better shut up. He just added the insult to the injury.

What a walking disgrace !!
