Trump sparks outrage with tweet about Dwyane Wade’s cousin’s deathhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-dwyane-wade-cousin-000000613.htmlInstead of initially offering condolences, Donald Trump looked ahead to Election Day when reacting to news that Chicago Bulls star Dwyane Wade’s cousin had been killed. Nykea Aldridge, a mother of four, was reportedly caught in the crossfire while pushing a baby stroller in Chicago’s South Side on Friday.
“Dwayne [sic] Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!” the GOP nominee tweeted Saturday morning.
The tweet stunned many on Twitter. It was somewhat similar to the “appreciate the congrats” message Trump had posted in June in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub.

There's nothing more horrifying than a presidential candidate patting himself on the back after someone is killed.

This is the digital equivalent of passing out yard signs at a funeral. Emotional intelligence here is less than 0
