    And he rarely tells the truth.

    I bet he’ll regret wording that first tweet so sympathetically (by his standards) when somebody sits him down and reminds him what religion use mosques.

    I bet someone sat him down and told him to write the first one in the first place. Maybe someone else wrote it for him, though the mindless enthusiasm of “God bless all!” with the exclamation point, looks like something that could come from his tiny, little fingers. Didn’t use the word “terrorist” though. No doubt reserved for attackers who are brown.

    The phrase “ best wishes” also sounds like Trump’s own. That’s normally used for birthdays and on wedding cards. I can’t say it’s wildly inappropriate… but it does sound a bit off. “Best wishes on your massacre.” I don’t know.

    Sastra,

    Looks like he’s trying to find a way to say “thoughts and prayers” without saying “thoughts and prayers”.

    The exclamation point at the end is my least favorite part.

    Actually this tweet clears up what’s so wrong with “best wishes.”

    “warmest sympathy and best wishes”

    Only this president would mistake the deadliest terror attack in New Zealand’s history for a Hallmark moment.

    He’s got it confused with another kind of message altogether – like, “warmest congratulations and best wishes on your graduation/wedding/promotion/Nobel Prize.” It’s a whole different set of adjectives for the mass murder tweets.

    I’d rather a luke warm best wishes than thoughts and fucking prayers frankly. Our own PM, who isn’t even religious said that last night. I silently screamed at the radio.

    Can’t Ivanka school him on subject-verb agreement? Is she really good for nothing?

    I think Sastra @ 4 is right. I think someone else wrote this tweet, and then Trump went and stupidly inserted “and best wishes.” Then (of course) he didn’t bother to read the thing over again, so you get the awful “My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to…”
