Jesus fucking Christ. An accident claims the lives of several servicemen and all he says is "that's too bad"?Ten sailors were missing after a Navy destroyer collided with a merchant ship east of the Singapore and Malacca Straits, authorities said Sunday.
Five sailors were injured in the collision between the USS John S. McCain and the merchant vessel Alnic MC, a 30,000-ton chemical and oil tanker sailing under the Libyan flag, the Navy said in a statement.
Four of the injured sailors were evacuated by a Singaporean Navy helicopter to a hospital in the island city-state with non-life threatening injuries. The fifth injured sailor did not require immediate medical attention, the Navy said.
A Navy spokesman told NBC News the incident was being treated as an accident.
There were no reports of oil pollution following the incident, Singapore's government said in a statement.
The guided missile destroyer is named for the Arizona’s senator’s father and grandfather, both of whom were admirals.
Responding to a shouted question from a reporter about the incident on Sunday, President Donald Trump said: "That's too bad."

A person who lacks empathy entirely, and has forgone any attempt to learn how to be sympathetic isn't going to make a statement much warmer than that.

"That's too bad. Now ask me again about Confederate monuments, I'm not done gushing about how beautiful they are and what a tragedy it is that they're being taken down."

Trump later tweeted, "Thoughts & prayers are w/ our @USNavy sailors aboard the #USSJohnSMcCain where search & rescue efforts are underway."

You really think that no one can say something wrong recently with certain bullshit going on but Trump continues to prove that you can indeed say the wrong.
How can a grown ass man fail something as easy as these questions.
"What should you say if servicemen die?" A - We feel incredible sorrow for what has happened and we send our regards to the families of these servicemen. B - It is an incredible tragedy what happened here.
Instead Trump choose option C and goes completely brain dead and spews whatever comes to mind first.
This is amazing because just last week he fucked up with denouncing Nazis.

Or he could have said the right thing the first time instead of, yet again, having to do a double take and say the right thing after saying something incredibly dumb. You know, like how normal people with both sides of their brain works. Originally Posted by Conor McGregor

Funny that we expect either A or B in situation like this, no matter how insincere the person saying those lines would be while saying them. Originally Posted by Dontrike

That's the reaction to hearing that your cousins kid couldn't play in his second grade baseball teams last game of the season because he got sick, not to a sailor dying.

No, I'm not terribly impressed by a generic tweet posted well after there's been time for his coms team to figure out what to get him to tweet. I'm more interested in his instant reaction, since that's going to be the more genuine reaction as it's unscripted. Originally Posted by Conor McGregor

To be honest, it changes very little about their 'agenda'. Trump saying something somewhat inappropriate off the top of his head, then a bit later his aides urge him to make a different statement in order to do damage control - that is pretty much how it works, and what people here want to point out. If his condolences really meant something to Trump, he wouldn't have waited two more hours to give them. Originally Posted by Conor McGregor

Do you have a point with all these responses? I was aware of the tweet before I posted. I wasn't impressed with his verbal response or his tweet. Originally Posted by Conor McGregor

Trump didn't tweet that, one of the social media staffers did. Originally Posted by Conor McGregor

What's up with the Faux outrage? This is from your own link. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...66340238491648 Originally Posted by DarkTZeratul

Giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, 'That's too bad' is a pretty normal response if, say, your co-worker told you about the incident the next morning. However, it isn't a normal response when you're President and the person telling you is a reporter. What any other President would have done would be to stop and give a brief and meaningful statement honoring the fallen crew and so on and so forth. Trump's response shows he almost certainly didn't know about it and possibly didn't think it was important (because it wasn't about him.)
Also we should probably stop normalizing the idea that Twitter condolences count in any meaningful way.Last edited by LaserSharkDFB; 2017-08-21 at 12:08 PM.
