The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly. Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!

1. it is too soon to talk about it..........we need time to heal

let the railways fix their own tracks

[spanone]

3. ten minutes later: he added the 'thoughts and prayers' bullshit that someone reminded him of...

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the train accident in DuPont, Washington. Thank you to all of our wonderful First Responders who are on the scene. We are currently monitoring here at the White House.

8. Yep, thoughts and prayers first (repugs blocked O's infrastructure bills for years).

[Angry Dragon]

10. so much scum, I need a bigger shovel

[Kittycow]

2. Local news says

train may have hit something. That's an unverified report however.

I knew that ahole wouldn't say anything comforting!

ETA: Oh noow he manages to add a condolence. It sure didn't come to his feeble mind first!

[spanone]

7. he finally did, but his first instinct was to lash out like the asshole he truly is.....

[Kittycow]

9. Yeah, at least someone realized he should mention that finally!

[spanone]

11. cnn said it took him 11 minutes after the 1st tweet to tweet the 'thought & prayers'

that's the kind of compassion this asshole has

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. He probably was advised to offer those

[onethatcares]

4. look for jars

in your local convenient stores and donate bigly.

[onecaliberal]

5. The tax scam will kids good us ANY spending on infrastructure. But I guess you need two braincells

To run together to figure that out.

[MineralMan]

6. TRUCK FUMP!

[Stuart G]

12. Trump is really too stupid and self centered to say the correct thing.

His first comment should be to wish families and friends condolences and prayers. and wish for a speedy recovery for all injured.....................even I know what to say....???

[PearliePoo2]

13. He doesn't know what the cause of this accident is!

This Idiot doesn't know that ANYTHING here is CRUMBLING!

HE DOESN'T KNOW SHIT.

14. Youve had a year

To come up with an infrastructure plan, you motherfucker.

17. damn....hate to hear that.

[jmowreader]

18. I wonder if the bastard realizes...

...that what pays for infrastructure is the taxes he wants to slash.

[SeattleVet]

19. He obviously doesn't know that the rail infrastructure involved was just upgraded.

It was just short of $200 Million to replace the track, and upgrade the signals and roadbed to allow for the higher speed.

20. He can go fuck himself. Though his general premise isn't wrong.

Him pretending like he actually gives a shit is a whole other story.
