On Sunday, Omar Mateen was identified as the suspected gunman in a mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. It is the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, leaving at least 50 dead and 53 wounded early Sunday morning.
And Donald Trump wasted no time making the tragedy about himself.

Donald Trump Faces Backlash for Tweets About Orlando Shooting
By Time, June 12, 2016
Donald Trump faced a backlash on Twitter after tweeting his response to the deadly Orlando shooting Sunday morning, when he acknowledged “congrats” for “being right” on terrorism.
Like much of what Trump does, it inspired a wave of responses. It angered Republicans and Democrats as well as some celebrities who criticized with a familiar line: that Trump is self-centered even in moments of tragedy — the shooting killed at least 50 people and is the deadliest mass shooting in American history. The motives of suspected shooter Omar Mateen were not immediately clear.

Trump gets self-congratulatory after Orlando mass shooting
By Emily Schultheis, June 12, 2016
Sunday morning's shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando is now the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, killing 50 people and injuring another 53.
Donald Trump's response to the tragedy was initially to express sorrow at the incident, but he later attacked Hillary Clinton over her first general election ad, congratulated himself for warning the American public about Islamic extremism, and had an aide go on television and describe Mitt Romney as a "coward."
On Twitter, Trump initially posted a brief message about the "really bad shooting" that left "many people dead and wounded" at around 8 a.m. Sunday. About 90 minutes later, he followed it up with this tweet responding to Clinton's new ad:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrumpTrump tweeted again shortly before noon, saying he was "praying for all the victims & their families." But his next tweet, an hour later, was to point out that he's receiving "congrats" for being right about Islamic extremism:
Clinton made a false ad about me where I was imitating a reporter GROVELING after he changed his story. I would NEVER mock disabled. Shame!
6:39 AM - 12 Jun 2016
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrumpHe reiterated that statement in a Facebook post, noting that he "greatly appreciates" the congratulations he's received.
Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

And later Sunday afternoon, Trump took to Twitter again to call on President Obama to resign if he does not use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism" and noted the arrest made at the Los Angeles gay pride parade:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump[snipped]
Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!
