You have to wonder about the type of person who think of saying something like this.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, 50 people lost their lives after a gunman opened fire in Pulse, an LBGT nightclub in Orlando.
A further 53 people were taken to hospital as a result of what is now being classified as the worst shooting in US history, and largest domestic terrorist attack since September 11, 2001.
In sad times like this, political figures are supposed to show signs of leadership and solidarity; Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the US Presidency, decided to congratulate himself for having seen it coming.
