Online Trolls Mock President over Death of Brother, Robert Trump

Breitbart

"Online trolls lost no time in mocking President Donald Trump in response to news that his younger brother, Robert Trump, died Saturday.
“ 'He was not just my brother, he was my best friend,” Trump said in a statement. “He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again.”
“ 'Almost immediately after, tweets calling for the president’s death were posted using the hashtag #wrongtrump, which quickly became the number four trending topic on the website,” the U.S. Sun reported.
“Dear Grim Reaper, You took the #wrongtrump,” Twitter user @TalbertSwan wrote.
"The president visited his brother Robert at the hospital on Friday afternoon in New York City before returning to his club at Bedminster, New Jersey, but Swan claimed Trump just wanted to spend his time “golfing and tweeting.” . . .
If so, I regret that Mr. Trump did that; just as I resented this:
Mr Obama now admits decision to go golfing minutes after commiserating with the nation over the beheading of US journalist James Foley looked bad, but offers no apology.  Hard to "hold back tears", was it?
The 'optics', which included front page pictures of Mr Obama smiling and relaxing in a golf buggy at a course on Martha's Vineyard where he was on holiday, were met with a barrage of unfavourable news headlines and scornful commentary from both Republicans and Democrats.
CNN’s Kayleigh McEnany Apologizes for False Obama Slam...back in 2017  Well, she was a CNN employee at the time, so no problem.
