Forget the suspect; it’s too early to know much of anything, including a motive — now’s the time to blame President Trump.
I'm tired of his "sympathy."

This from the idiot who spews nothing but hate, stirs up his hateful base, and refuses to do anything about the gun epidemic in this country. If only he would just shut up and disappear!

We will have to wait to see who is behind it to know if Trump will care, or just pretend it never happened.

Oh my God. I can't take it anymore.
Trump is a stochastic terrorist. He simply is.
People are being murdered because of the hate & bigotry he gins up.
Please, please we must replace this dangerous, unfit maniac with a president who preaches love, not hate.— janegray (@ms_sharims) April 27, 2019
If your first thought after a shooting is the 2020 election, may we suggest your priorities are out of whack?
@realDonaldTrump and @NRA send thoughts and prayers.
