Donald Trump Sent the Worst Possible Tweet About the Orlando Massacre

Jun 12 2016 - 12:36pm

Donald Trump is facing major backlash for the tweet he sent out Sunday following the Orlando, FL, massacre, the deadliest mass shooting in the US [1].

Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016 [2]

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee said he was thankful for being congratulated for "being right" on his hard-line stance against groups like ISIS — prompting many to call him egotistical for using the moment to campaign instead of being sympathetic to the 49 victims who died in the club shooting.

Check out some of the reactions to his tweet:

?? @realDonaldTrump [3] Are you really using this moment to campaign? What is wrong this guy?? 😷
