President Trump Extends Condolences On The Passing Of Aretha Franklin | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC

Miss Aretha you are greatly missed by all of us who are you true fans and appreciate your love, and kindness heard through your amazing voice. May you rest in peace with God⚘

[youarethebest]

I love how he makes her death about himself “she worked for me”

[jjboys]

It's disgusting Trimp is even mentioning her

[tiggertiggerish]

Wow! Condolences on the passing of the "Queen of Soul" from a man who clearly has no soul...."Wanna read that out again, but with a little less feeling, Don?". Geez.

"She worked for me"

Where others are commemorating what Aretha meant for them in their lives, what she gave to them, how she inspired them and lifted their spirits, Trump just treats her like a commodity.

It's not about you today demon child. The World Is Honoring "The Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin"👑💛💛💛👑

[amazingsparckman]

Poor woman when she was young blacks were discriminated, she died seeing a president being called racist everyday on tv. LOL

[titosantana]

*RIP Aretha Franklin* - Sorry about Trump having to say your name out loud with his forked tongue.

[Bete_Noir]

He can shove his condolences where the sun don't shine.

[SteveDave]

He doesn't deserve to even say her name >:(

[maxcovfefe]

So, I don't see a problem here. I know lots of people here are complaining about it, and I agree Trump is a massive troll with no soul, but she worked for him, I think it's ok to state that. To have a president say it on your death is remarkable even if it's Trump, it's still Aretha, and I wanna let her legacy have that. It's special.It's hard seeing people wrecking it, even with their hearts in a good place, I just think... You know, don't LET Trump make it about him, make it about her for HER. This can go into a little "in memory of, " and it's part of her life and her death, so #RESPECT.

His warmest wishes come from a notepad probably by someone else who wrote it.

[faceoff]

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IMPEACH DONALD J TRUMP

[davemurphy]

Can't even perform the most basic of tasks required of the office without making it about himself. Very sad.

[Badnone]

falling for it. His condolences have no meaning.

[jd]

Enough with the fake condolences Klu Klux Trump...

[richraymond]

He only did this becouse he had to, , , he's a narssesest and can't feel anything for anybody, , and there's no way to change him

[intuitknit]

"She worked for me" Revolting comment as the first one he comes up with.

[scottbarron]

I cannot imagine that Aretha didn't despise Trump. She was a woman of character. Trump is a character from a really bad movie. She was a national treasure. Trump is worthless.

[Briguy]

The real hatred is in this comment section.
