Trump Shows Class With Orlando Shooting Tweets

One thing everyone associates with Donald Trump is class. He's a classy, classy guy. There was the time he commented on former presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina's appearance, as if what she saw in the mirror each day had anything to do with her ability to run a country. There was that other time he suggested he'd be dating his daughter (Ivanka) if she wasn't his daughter.

Gross.

If you're interested in reading more about Trump's opinions on women, The Telegraph offers an excellent timeline. There's another great list of Trump soundbites at Marie Claire. The excellent Buzzfeed video about all the nice things Trump has said over the years about women is also worth a view.


Donald Trump is the sort of man every mother wants for a role model for her son. He's the kind of guy every woman dreams about as a future partner. He's the bro every guy wants as his best friend.

Or not.

In reality, Donald Trump proves over and over again that he has absolutely no class and is one of the most selfish billionaires on the planet (if he is, indeed, a billionaire...). Check out his Twitter response to the Orlando massacre:

Trump posts inappropriate things multiple times a day via his Twitter account, and most of his speeches also feature ridiculous comments.

Robert Reich, who was part of former President Clinton's administration and works today as a college professor and political commentator, had this to say about the tweet:


Trump has posted inappropriate comments on his Twitter feed so often that there is likely no one can feign surprise at his lack of consideration, empathy, and humanity. His response to this tragedy and massacre is a beautiful example of Trump's disorder:  narcissistic personality disorder.

Here's the definition of the condition from The Mayo Clinic:
"Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism."
Sound familiar?

Every time anyone criticizes Trump about anything - whether it's his spray tan and orange face or something stupid he posted on Twitter, he responds with insults, whining, and threats. He's actually threatened to take away our First Amendment rights if elected president.

Even less surprising, CNN reporter Brian Stelter noticed some plagiarism going on with Trump's Twitter feed in the wake of the Orlando massacre:
A vote for Donald J. Trump is a vote to destroy America and all the freedoms our men and women have fought for so valiantly over the past two centuries. Every media outlet that gives free airtime to Trump is guilty of bringing our country closer to collapse and ruin.

Imagine the horror of a president unable to take criticism in any form. How can the United States maintain any sort of position of respect in the world with such a weak and spineless person in at the helm?

Donald J. Trump needs therapy, and The White House should take out a restraining order against him, so he can't get anywhere near the highest office in the land.
