US President Donald Trump was pictured smiling as he crashing at a wedding at one of his golf clubs just hours after 20 people died in a mass shooting.

Photographs posted on Instagram show Mr Trump greeting guests and stopping by at a wedding at his Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey on the evening after a shooter opened fire in a shopping mall in El Paso on Saturday.

The photos began circulating on social media on Saturday at 9pm, while the presence an active shooter in El Paso was first reported at around 10:30am local time...

Trump remained out of sight at his club for hours on Saturday after the shooting, playing golf. He wrote two tweets of support to the communities affected by the shooting that day – mixed with other posts lashing out against his opponents and one promoting a mixed martial arts fighter.

He was going to be so busy from Day One, repealing Obamacare, deporting all foreigners, and making America great and stuff. Well, he did find time to reverse the Obama administration executive order about restricting gun sales.

Maybe I should remind them of what Candidate Trump said versus what President Trump does.

They are speaking as if tRump were actually going to uphold any of his promises, no matter how insignificant they seemed.

I don't know how trumpers fool themselves into not seeing how he has failed at literally everything.
