"Melania and I pray for the American's killed...." How about the others?

Suspect there were non-American's visiting our great country who were hurt or killed. They deserve to be prayed for as they have prayed for us when we have Americans killed overseas.

the next one of these horrific events from happening?

After the Pulse nightclub shootings, President Obama's statement ended as follows: "May God bless the Americans we lost this morning. May he comfort their families. May God continue to watch over this country that we love. Thank you."

I didn't take that as excluding anyone who might not have been American.

Can you imagine the outrage if Obama had omitted some group from his sympathies? Or if he'd seemed insufficiently sincere in his offer of prayers?
