Donald Trump honored the memory of the Pulse Nightclub victims who died in a terror attack one year ago on Monday. Despite giving a dignified message, the Left decided to go low when the President went high.
“We will NEVER FORGET the victims who lost their lives one year ago today in the horrific #PulseNightClub shooting. #OrlandoUnitedDay,” Trump tweeted on Monday.

Many people viewed the tweet as important given that Trump has not acknowledged Gay Pride Month and thought that his comments from last year after the attack were distasteful. Still, the President’s critics were unsatisfied.
You literally CONGRATULATED yourself on this day one year ago instead of remembering the victims. Thanks for pretending to care. pic.twitter.com/n0pAj9wIt0

Nor will we forget how you used the situation for an opportunity for an “I told you so”.

The cabinet you assembled perpetuates the hate and violence this attack comes from

You forgot them all of pride month. You refuse to celebrate the living and you use the death of our community to further your bigoted agenda

A great way to honor them would be by actually acknowledging Pride month.

That was done by a white man, white Christians are not terrorists according to the logic of these people.

Trump was famously the first presidential candidate in the history of the Republican Party to endorse gay rights, moving away from the traditional party platform. He invited an openly gay speaker Peter Thiel to the convention and promised to protect the LGBTQ community.
“I will do everything in my power to protect our LBGTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of hateful foreign ideology,” Trump said at the Republican National Convention back in 2016 referencing the jihadist who attacked the Pulse Night Club earlier that year.
It just goes to show that there’s nothing that Trump could do to please these people.
