Donald Trump's latest tweet that captured the rage of Hollywood came late on Saturday night, as the president conflated the FBI Russian investigation with the Parkland, Florida shooting. Hollywood and many Americans erupted in outrage late into the overnight hours, picking up with renewed energy on Sunday morning.
As the survivors of the mass shooting that left 17 dead in a high school were proposing a march on Washington and holding a rally for stronger gun control in the United States, Trump tweeted that the FBI "missed all of the many signals" because "they are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign."

View StoryMany critics saw this as politicizing the tragedy, as well as trying to discredit the FBI as they are conducting an investigation into the 2016 election. It was only one in a series of tweets from the president throughout the night and early morning that many saw as insensitive and self-serving. In another, he went on again about the 2016 election, ending with the question, "But wasn't I a great candidate."
Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!

Now that Adam Schiff is starting to blame President Obama for Russian meddling in the election, he is probably doing so as yet another excuse that the Democrats, lead by their fearless leader, Crooked Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 election. But wasn't I a great candidate?

I hope the FBI finds and prosecutes the complete A-hole who hacked the President's account and tweeted this. https://t.co/cgejYAT0T2

Everything said and thought in abject self-interest. Even the tragedy of others must be parlayed for all possible advantage.

Dear America,
@andylassner
While the families of 17 teachers and children murdered in a school bury their loved ones, @POTUS asks the nation “wasn't I a great candidate?”
He's absolutely shitting himself. https://t.co/gW9uAcQIuw

TRUMP: “You want the Tweet? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TWEET!”
@greggrunberg
How much longer do we have to put up with a mentally ill sociopath? When the fucked up psyche of the leader of the free world comes before the horrific deaths of innocent children, it's time for GOP patriots to stand up and end this sickness.
