Donald Trump just made a horrible train crash about himself.
As you may’ve seen, on Monday, several people were killed and numerous others were injured after an Amtrak train derailed while riding along a new route outside Tacoma, WA. First responders fled to the scene, where they found a train which had careened off a bridge and onto a highway below.

Obviously, as this is a major catastrophe, many people responded to the news by sending out their thoughts and prayers. Not the president though! Instead, he took to Twitter to use the tragedy as an opportunity to promote his “soon to be submitted infrastructure plan.”
(Interesting that his team thinks it’s okay for this to be an opportunity to talk policy but not the countless mass shootings.)
The Commander-In-Chief wrote:
The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly. Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!

We’re certain SOMEONE in Trump’s administration alerted the President to how heartless he came off as, about 10 minutes later, he added:
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the train accident in DuPont, Washington. Thank you to all of our wonderful First Responders who are on the scene. We are currently monitoring here at the White House.

The Trumpster is such a self serving narcissist. Unsurprisingly, Donald’s tweet has since been met with some backlash online (below).
If Hillary were President, rebuilding our infrastructure would have been a top priority. Your tax cuts on the wealthy will severely handicap our ability to increase infrastructure spending.

You do realize that people lost their lives in the accident? You’d think that you would want to express some condolences to the families before immediately politicizing the tragedy.

Dude. People died. And you start with this?

Lemme edit this for you: Our heart breaks for the victims of this tragic accident in Washington State. We will look closely at how and why this happened so that we can strengthen regulations and systems so that we can all safely travel this beautiful country.

Snap! Snap!
Although, at this point, why do we expect ANYTHING decent out of this man. *Sigh*
