The White House has now released the transcript of Trump’s dreadful, clumsy statement this morning. It was clumsy because he’s so desperately bad at reading a prepared speech. It was also worse than clumsy.

Good morning.  My fellow Americans, this morning, our nation is overcome with shock, horror, and sorrow.  This weekend, more than 80 people were killed or wounded in two evil attacks.

On Saturday morning, in El Paso, Texas, a wicked man went to a Walmart store, where families were shopping with their loved ones.  He shot and murdered 20 people, and injured 26 others, including precious little children.

Then, in the early hours of Sunday morning in Dayton, Ohio, another twisted monster opened fire on a crowded downtown street.  He murdered 9 people, including his own sister, and injured 27 others.

The First Lady and I join all Americans in praying and grieving for the victims, their families, and the survivors.  We will stand by their side forever.  We will never forget.

That’s what makes it worse than clumsy. It’s a pack of lies. He won’t stand by their side forever; he’ll forget about them the instant he stops talking. He doesn’t join all Americans in praying and grieving – he can’t, because it’s not in him. He will forget, because he’s a trivial stupid shallow sack of wind.

These barbaric slaughters are an assault upon our communities, an attack upon our nation, and a crime against all of humanity.  We are outraged and sickened by this monstrous evil, the cruelty, the hatred, the malice, the bloodshed, and the terror.  Our hearts are shattered for every family whose parents, children, husbands, and wives were ripped from their arms and their lives.  America weeps for the fallen.

And that’s even worse. It’s so false. Trump loves cruelty and hatred and malice. Trump performs cruelty and hatred and malice all the time, right in front of us. His heart is not the least bit shattered and he doesn’t weep for anyone.

This is something his people really ought to take on board. They shouldn’t try to bullshit us to this extent. Trump is a mean, angry, spiteful, belligerent man, so they shouldn’t put words in his mouth that try to invoke the opposite of all that. It’s wrong, it’s not appropriate, it’s not honest, it’s not even respectful to the people mourning. He doesn’t mean any of it and we know he doesn’t mean any of it, so making him say it is just insulting to all of us.

We are a loving nation, and our children are entitled to grow up in a just, peaceful, and loving society.  Together, we lock arms to shoulder the grief, we ask God in Heaven to ease the anguish of those who suffer, and we vow to act with urgent resolve.

We’re not. We’re especially not now, since he took office. We’re not a loving nation. He’s made us a far more hating nation than we were three years ago. He’s a torrent of hatred, and he’s been spraying it all over us.

The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate.  In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy.  These sinister ideologies must be defeated.  Hate has no place in America.  Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul.  We have asked the FBI to identify all further resources they need to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism — whatever they need.

Again – he’s the wrong person to say that. He can’t sell it, he can’t put it across, he can’t convince us he means it. His people should write a different kind of statement for him, because a pack of flagrant lies just does not cut it.
