Apparently rather promptly after hearing the news that Dwayne Wade's cousin was fatally shot in Chicago, Donald Trump decided to post the following tweet.

"Dwayne Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!"

It should be noted that neither before this tweet or at least two hours later has Trump posted or issued another statement offering something like condolences to the NBA player or expressing sadness at the news.

Its nice to know that Donald Trump would be so naturally compassionate in reaction to any tragedy if he is elected president...

I guess Trump didn't want to get all PC expressing condolences to Dwayne Wade and his family.

That outreach is working so well

Sorry to hear an innocent life was taken. May she rest in peace. But anyways probably in the next few days Trump campaign will probably release a statement stating that not what he meant. Or the media is twisting his word etc. Same nonsense we seen in the past from him and his campaign.

You can tell "his" tweets as they come from android. The first about the shooting this morning (complete with misspelled name) was from him. One later correcting the spelling was from staff (iphone), and the last expressing condolences/sympathy (finally) was also from staff.

Remember, it's not what he says, it's the fact that his words are the best words.

Sad story. Hopefully the fathers will be able to give the kids the upbringing they need.

Infraction was given for this post - MrA79 is on vacation for a few days from the forums. Racism will not be tolerated.

Well whatever he says, he means. That's what people like about him - he's a straight shooter. Unless he was being sarcastic. Then all bets are off.

The guy was born with a team of lawyers and CPA's surrounding him, he's always been a sarcastic narcissist.

That is not going to change.

I understand his point, he was trying to claim he'd be there for blacks if elected. But typical of Trump he comes off sounding like an insensitive jackass. Totally uncalled for. About once a week he says something so stupid it's hard to believe.

Trump will never be there for blacks. Show me in the history of trump where he was there for black people.

I didn't claim it to be true, that is just how I took was his meaning. I haven't researched if he ever has been or not. I don't think he's done anything for anyone, when his best interest weren't forefront. No matter the color of the person.

I must have missed the part where Trump explained _how_ he was going to clean up inner cities.
