What was Trump doing? Tweeting about Brexit and how CNN is reporting negative stories about him.
Trump doesn't care about abortion. He only cares about power.

People are on this forum, Twitter, Facebook ect expressing their condolences, talking about the incident and assuming a lot of things - just like you Buc have done concerning Trump. Why shouldn't he weigh in - he has a right to his opinion and to offer condolences - he doesn't have to wait for someone to write him a speech and tell him what he has to say hours later like some of our politicians.

Issuing a statement after everything is not the problem. Lots of presidential candidates do that. Issuing stupid statements is the problem.

But to be fair, Trump is now in the position that the media expects his statements to be stupid and they go looking for illogic much more than they do for Hillary.

Apart from the fact that he's always been a glutton for publicity - in all fairness, it's the normal for candidates.

As for the facts not being in - clearly Trump has never bothered with facts.

We grieve for the officers killed in Baton Rouge today. How many law enforcement and people have to die because of a lack of leadership in our country? We demand law and order.

Now what exactly is stupid or illogical about this statement? The fact that the leadership of this country does suck?

See my post on the bottom of page 1 for the details if this is somehow all new to you.
When exactly?

Police have been killed under EVERY administration we have EVER had. Were they all poor leaders? Is Trump somehow going to magically be the BEST LEADER EVER?

Or is Trump blaming this on the local police leadership? Are Police Captains no good?

Trey Gowdy: Why would Obama prejudge the IRS investigation? | Washington Examiner

Gowdy referred to Obama's assertion in a Fox News interview that there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” in the IRS case.


"How can he possibly draw that conclusion?" Gowdy asked, pointing out that former IRS official Lois Lerner invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify.
Yes, how can he possibly draw such a conclusion? Is our king the judge/jury now once again?


Many examples here in this url:

President Obama Continues to Pre-Judge Classified Documents Cases

Quote:
In recently proclaiming Hillary Clinton free of any national security breach - even as the FBI was continuing its investigation of her use of a potentially risky private email server for official business while she was Secretary of State - President Obama continued his disturbing pattern of rendering his personal verdict ahead of legal proceedings in high-profile cases involving classified government information.

From Private Chelsea Manning to General David Petraeus to Edward Snowden and now to Hillary Clinton, the president has sounded off with his opinions on guilt or innocence - and on any alleged damage to national security - in advance of either a trial, or an indictment, or completion of an investigation.

Obama: Police who arrested professor 'acted stupidly' - CNN.com

Quote:
"I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played," Obama said Wednesday night while taking questions after a White House news conference.

Obama defended Gates on Wednesday night, while admitting that he may be "a little biased," because Gates is a friend.
There's a few more for you. More for you to search on.

I find it hard to believe someone like yourself who posts so much on the politics forum doesn't know all this/is asking me for examples. Hopefully this might give you a little pause to be such a dem cheerleader if trumps prejudging bothers you so much as you stated in your OP.

Excuse me, but, we are talking about STATEMENTS MADE AFTER DISASTERS. IRS is not a disaster, neither are jury trials.

Natural disasters, mass shootings, any incident where multiple people have died. That is what you are limited to. Now find me where Obama has gone off half-cocked and issued an immediate statement without knowledge of any facts.
