As Twitchy reported, President Trump and first lady Melania Trump on Friday evening visited Broward Health North Hospital to meet with students injured in this week’s horrific school shooting in Parkland, Fla.
Melania and I met such incredible people last night in Broward County, Florida. Will never forget them, or the evening!

The Trumps then headed to Mar-a-Lago for the long Presidents Day weekend — and this seems to have triggered New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi.
This could be a tweet about an evening that included a campaign rally, or a fundraiser, or anything, really, except what it's about: https://t.co/OPfCC5A3Fo

Imagine the reaction if any other president handled a national tragedy in the manner Trump has and retreated back to his private club, where the scene included this: pic.twitter.com/BoV0L4symI

We don’t see Trump dancing there, but “the scene” at Mar-a-Lago included it. Just IMAGINE the reaction if any other president had handled a national emergency that way.

Obama went golfing after his remarks on the James Foley beheading. Doesn't make this thing right but Trump is nowhere near as sui generis as some media figures imply. https://t.co/eO6CfaS3Yt

Senior Advisor to President Obama, Eric Schultz, sent out a tweet and press release stating "The Obamas danced nearly every song. A good time was had by all." while at a party on Martha's Vineyard. At the same time, Ferguson was burning to the ground. https://t.co/UOXkp3BgtL

Liar. We dont have to imagine that Obama danced while Ferguson burned. You know that and you lie.

Here’s Obama doing the tango after 9 Americans were killed in a terrorist bombing in Brussels, Belgium:

Wait until Donald Trump takes a selfie at a state funeral. Media will really lose their shit then.

Update:
For what it’s worth, Trump won’t be dancing or golfing, unlike Obama did after James Foley’s beheading.
