Following a deadly shooting on a university campus in Tallahassee, Florida, the U.S. president appeared somber as he issued a response from the White House.

President Donald Trump delivered a brief statement from the Oval Office in response to a deadly shooting at Florida State University (FSU), which unfolded on Thursday, April 17.

“It’s a horrible thing. Horrible that things like this take place,” Trump said. He added that he had been “fully briefed” on the situation and described the tragedy as “a shame.”.

Reactions to the statement were swift and varied. One netizen remarked, “Such deep and wise words from our profound leader.” Others were more critical. “I’m surprised they were able to pin him down for a comment between rounds of golf 🙄,” one commenter remarked.

Someone else stated, “He doesn’t know the words he never had sympathy for anyone or empathy for anyone. He only has sympathy and empathy for himself.” Another wrote, “The recent shooting is truly heartbreaking, and it’s important that we don’t overlook its impact. My thoughts and deepest condolences go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.”.
