In the aftermath of the Brown University shooting, Donald Trump offered misinformation online and empty phrases in public. On Sunday, he dropped three words about the tragic incident, so hollow it barely qualified as a response.
After a shooting at Brown University left nine injured and two dead, Trump’s first instinct was not clarity or caution. It was misinformation. He initially posted that “I have been briefed,” and announced that a person of interest was in custody. Only to correct himself 20 minutes later, writing that Brown University had “reversed their previous statement.”
