At the time of this writing, President Donald Trump has yet to release or tweet an official statement about the deadly shooting at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte that left two people dead and four injured.
In the hours after the shooting, instead of tweeting a statement of condolences, President Trump has been retweeting support from alleged firefighters.
“I’ve done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do, and I get paid ZERO!” Trump tweeted before launching a string of over 50 retweets from supporters.
