Twitter slams Donald Trump for tweeting condolences about the wrong mass shooting
People online tore into President Donald Trump after he appeared to offer his condolences on Twitter about the wrong mass shooting.
On Tuesday night, Trump posted this message:
May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2017
The deadly incident at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, took place on Nov. 5. So it appears Trump ― or a staffer ― mistakenly resent a tweet his account shared in the aftermath of that attack:
May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan.

...Or, Trump meant to comment on Tuesday’s shooting at the Rancho Tehama Elementary School in northern California which left at least four people dead and several injured, but he included the wrong town in his post.
The tweet was timestamped at 11:34 p.m. and remained live as of early Wednesday morning.
People online were quick to express their anger over the blunder:
Did u just copy & paste this & forget to change the city?

The President of the United States is tweeting at midnight about the wrong mass shooting and it's like the 500th most insane Trump story of the week.
