There have been more mass shootings that have occurred in the last few months. In light of these tragedies, numerous popular personalities have extended their condolences to the victims, and U.S. President Donald Trump is one of them. However, it has been recently reported that Trump has allegedly plagiarized a condolence post which he put up on Twitter.

In a report by Fortune, President Trump is now being criticized for posting a tweet that contained a message about his condolences to the victims of Sutherland Springs, Texas, where a separate mass shooting incident occurred on Nov. 5. The problem was not the untimely fashion as to when the condolence tweet was sent but it was because of a more recent shooting that took place in Rancho Tehema Elementary School in Northern California.

Though the tweet is still relatively relevant, a lot of those who already dislike Trump sounded off on the social media platform and accused Trump of "copying and pasting" his condolence tweet. Additionally, his faulty grammar was also pointed out. One had even joked on Twitter and stated, "I hope the FBI and law enforcement did not take that long to arrive."

Naturally, people expressed their outrage on Twitter, stating that Trump should have a responsibility to be aware and updated regarding the incidences of mass shooting in the country where he is the commander-in-chief. According to People, some even speculate that President Trump may even have a template for his mass shooting condolence tweets.

A report by The Huffington Post added that it could be possible that one of Trump's staff committed a huge error in sending out the tweet. However, this situation is highly unlikely since the time that the tweet was sent out is well after the more recent shooting at Rancho Tehema Elementary School. The shooting left five people dead, including the assailant, with at least 10 people injured.
