    “It’s just horrible – so surprising to see it here. But we have to get over it. We have to move forward.”

    I expected something worse than that

      It’s darkly funny to imagine something worse than that.

      ‘It’s just kids – so not exactly surprising to see it here. Anyway, get over it. Move on.’

      Yeah, the get over it in this context is more of… an attempt? At empathy. Instead of “we have to get over it” it should have been something like “we will get through this”.

      He’s said worse things though.

        He said outloud the things that happen or need to happen, but way too soon and that made it incredibly insensitive. Grieving for someone for years isn’t healthy, or isn’t a normal thing to do. Grieving for the next couple of weeks or months though is something different and entirely acceptable. I doubt any form of attempt at solidarity so quickly after an event would be reacted to positively by the public

      Ikr, I am not a trump supporter but this title was bait to say the least.
