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.

You stated in general terms about "He issues statements so fast, he doesn't even know if he's right or wrong."

I did just notice you referred to "disasters" in the title but didn't further emphasize it in the text of your OP so I figured you were talking more global at that point but that's my error in understanding if all you wanted to comment on is about "disasters". But I'll play if all you want to talk about only "disasters"/issuing quick statements/jumping to conclusions.....obama often makes every terrorism matter a gun issue right off the bat without knowing the facts if the person had a right to own the gun legally, etc. You know this is true/you can research yourself to see it.

Again, I know you really really really love the dems, hil, and obama. I get it. I do. And I know it's troubling to hear what you complain about is done by people in the party you support and it's a valid question why you are so one sided and not making more rounded statements that it's a political game that many on your "Team" play equally yet you show no concern for it. And further yet, don't seem to admit that jumping to conclusions on matters of "disasters or not" exist on your "team".

1. Because he jumps to conclusions and wants to weigh in immediately, as many who have no information on Twitter and social media are wont to do (the instant gratification theory).

2. Because he is a flaming narcissist who thinks people actually care what he thinks or that it matters (the egocentric theory).

3. Because he he has an immediate opinion of everything, though he may change his mind 6 times in the next 12 hours (the delete my twitter theory).

4. Because he is running for president so he thinks he looks presidential by having an opinion--any opinion (the nominee theory).

5. Because he's attempting to 'resonate' with all his followers (the cult theory).

6. Because he is totally ignorant of the facts (the 'doesn't have a clue theory').

7. Because he is not a thoughtful deep thinker of any complexity (the 'simpleton' theory).

8. Because he wants to be first at everything (the 'winner' or 'Charlie Sheen' theory).

9. Because he loves seeing his opinion in print (see the 'egocentric' theory).

10. Because he is the ignorant clown that he is (see the 'doesn't have a clue' theory).

Why do you think his family wants to take away his phone and tweeting ability?

Hillary's team has assembled an impromptu focus group
in order to determine what she should say.

Using advisors is a bad thing? Getting all information before jumping to conclusions without a rush to judgement is very presidential. And I don't even like her....

To highlight the fact that liberal policy has created a favorable environment for these tragedies.

When the dems rally to kill police, import terrorists, allow open borders, export our jobs overseas, and blindly support Wall Street, then those issues need to be highlighted by absolute, real life examples of policy failure.

The tragedies that occur are examples of liberal policy failure. Trump is simply showing the lunacy of such policies and that there can be an alternative.

.......................... or perhaps simply that your liberal policy is terribly flawed and creates an environment for the disasters that have happened over the last eight years.

Trump is simply showing the insanity of liberal policy and the fact that it not only has economic consequences, but lethal consequences to American citizens.

Liberals are simply angry that their policy failures are exposed, as they really do not care whether citizens are killed or impoverished.

Because he has no self control. Because has no discipline. Because he has the mental maturity of an 8th grader who is addicted to social media.

And because he will use any situation, no matter how tragic, to promote himself. He has no solutions...all he has are his "Look at me! I'm saying something!!" tweets.

Trump has sent out multiple loony tweets today. He called our country "a divided crime scene."

I wish he would stop and think before tweeting. Just remember what happened to Hillary when she said things about Benghazi without actually having all the facts. Republicans need to realize that Dems will treat Trump exactly the same way if he gets into office.

Like your king promoting his gun agenda time after time right after a terrorist attack before knowing the facts, prejudging, not knowing if the person even has rights to own and use that gun legally?

That strikes of opportunism: using an act of terror to press a political agenda. There are many effective and important counterterrorism measures, but gun control isn’t one.
Surprised he didn't call for gun restrictions in Nice or Paris France after those attacks.....oops, that's right, some of the strictest gun laws in the world already exist there. Yet there were all these guns/assault weapons used in those attacks.

Fail.

For a Presidential candidate and real estate icon it is not strange to use social media to show respect with the victims and show you care.

Obama is the one who used social media to his benefit and nobody cared.

Trump can tweet all he want but if the media wouldn't show it on TV right after he is tweeting than we probably wouldn't know.

Trump is great in spending less and getting maximum exposure.

Smart man and very respectful how he handled cancelling conferences to announce his VP and other things after attacks on US soil or abroad!

It is not like Obama who went to play golf after an US journalist got beheaded!
