Keith Olbermann Blasts ‘Asshole’ Trump For Ghost-Written Condolence Tweet to Dwyane Wade
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sparked outrage Saturday morning when he used the murder of NBA star Dwyane Wade‘s cousin as a way to troll for votes by tweeting “Dwayne Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!”
Several hours later, Trump apparently wanted to make sure his followers got the message, tweeting the identical message once again:
Dwyane Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!

Shortly after that, though, another tweet on the subject appeared:
My condolences to Dwyane Wade and his family, on the loss of Nykea Aldridge. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

That clumsy attempt at humanity didn’t fool former MSNBC firebrand Keith Olbermann, who noted an important difference in the tweets with this very special comment:
Oh look, an afterthought written by somebody else FOR @realDonaldTrump (he tweets via Android)#Asshole#Psychopath pic.twitter.com/UHMk1nWgJf

Tell us what you really think, Keith.
The damage control tweet wasn’t signed, but I would encourage the next person to interview Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway which device she tweets from.
Update: The sharp-eyed Olbermann noticed another glaring difference a few minutes later:
.@jbarro Actually neither of those tweets was by Trump. His original, now deleted, misspelled Dwyane Wade's name. pic.twitter.com/vEbXk7XYuG
