In the wake of the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that has left approximately 50 people dead and dozens more wounded and fighting for their lives, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump apparently had people congratulating him for…being right about this kind of thing?
Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
Mirroring the boiling rage any rational person would feel after reading such an insensitive, narcissistic remark like that at a time when countless people just lost loved ones in the biggest mass shooting in U.S. history, the internet absolutely WENT OFF on Trump for the futile remark.

"Appreciate the congrats."
All of you Trump endorsers, how proud you must be today as your man exploits a tragedy to talk about himself.

Watching Trump trying to make political capital out of mass murder is singularly unedifying. What an arsehole he is.

How Trump deals with a terrorist attack:
1) Blame Obama
2) Take credit for himself
3) Spout nonsenseGood to know. https://t.co/K9ApR5btQw

Fifty American citizens are murdered and @realDonaldTrump’s response is that he “appreciates the congratulations.”
