“I spoke at length yesterday to Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, Chabad of Poway, where I extended my warmest condolences to him and all affected by the shooting in California,” the president tweeted Monday. “What a great guy. He had a least one finger blown off, and all he wanted to do is help others. Very special!”
Trump also lauded the nazi fine people that marched in Charlottesville VA and were behing this and the Pitt shul pogrom. He shares the blame in this atrocity.
This is what true American leadership looks like. Most of you can’t remember the last time we had real leadership in the White House. I am so happy that every shabbos our Rabbi makes a mishberach for the president a true leader and friend of the Jewish nation.
