'It’s a very, very sad day for me, personally'
It's always about him, of course!
Trump called the Vegas shooter 'a very sick man?' I'd call him a son of a bitch but, I guess Trump reserves that term for the real bad guys.

Trump in Las Vegas read scripted sympathetic words off a teleprompter like he was reading a foreign language.
