After visiting victims in Dayton and en route to visiting victims in El Paso, Donald Trump trashed Joe Biden on Twitter as the networks covered the former veep’s speech denouncing the president.
Biden said that POTUS has “fanned the flames of white supremacy” and that no one was fooled by his “low-energy” condemnation this tweet.
Trump tweeted in response by insulting “Sleepy Joe” and remarking, “Sooo Boring!”
He also got in a dig at the media, saying, “The LameStream Media will die in the ratings and clicks with this guy. It will be over for them.”
Watching Sleepy Joe Biden making a speech. Sooo Boring! The LameStream Media will die in the ratings and clicks with this guy. It will be over for them, not to mention the fact that our Country will do poorly with him. It will be one big crash, but at least China will be happy!

Considering Trump is flying El Paso as I write this, you would think Trump would be in a more solemn mood.
But nope.
And Twitter was disgusted:
HE JUST VISITED MASS SHOOTING VICTIMS AND HE IS ON HIS WAY TO VISIT MORE AND HE TWEETS THIS https://t.co/1fijuHNvJI [2]

"On this day of mourning and sorrow I commit to America to be a better president, dedicated to leadership for all and malice toward none. I will live up to the higher ideals of our great nation.
J/K LOL! Can I go golf now?" https://t.co/3aVmZOja7I [6]

President Trump is literally tweeting insults at former VP Joe Biden in between visiting families of people killed in mass shootings. This morning, Trump said he was seeking to tone down his rhetoric and now this. https://t.co/jDH3YDXV1d [8]

I’m just guessing this is not where most people’s thoughts turn right after meeting with one group of shooting victims and their families en route to a second group of shooting victims and their families https://t.co/IKiZcUotYG [10]

imagine being this aggrieved as you fly from meeting one group of people with lives shattered by hatred and gun violence on your way to meeting an even larger group of the same. https://t.co/VltfWg5c0c [12]

Imagine being such a piece of shit that this is the kind of thing on your mind when you've just visited the site of one mass murder and are on the way to the site of another mass murder. https://t.co/VDsiMBN2Ho [14]
