So here we have the president and his wife making a visit to some of the Florida school shooting victims.
Ok, no problem, no one needs to be patting him on the back, it's expected and it's the right thing to do.
But instead of simply giving a nod and moving on, the haters of the twittersphere are up in arms about the president smiling in the photos, claiming he has no heart, he's evil, etc.
And so what do we get ? An article written NOT about his visit, but about how people are 'o-u-t-r-a-g-e-d' that he is smiling.
We are at each others throats, and it's only a matter of time before this toxic mix spills into the streets.
People have strong reactions to the president's smiling visit to Parkland victims

People have strong reactions to the president's smiling visit to Parkland victims
People have strong reactions to the president's smiling visit to Parkland victimsPresident Donald Trump shared images from his visit to a Florida hospital where victims are still recovering after a gunman, armed with an AR-15 rifle, killed 14 students and three teachers Wednesday. In spite of the horrific tragedy, the photos show Trump smiling, happy, even giving a thumbs-up, while he posed with those injured, their families and first responders.
The president shared his thoughts in tweet with several images with bedside survivors and hospital staff. He wrote, “Our entire Nation, w/one heavy heart, continues to pray for the victims & their families in Parkland, FL. To teachers, law enforcement, first responders & medical professionals who responded so bravely in the face of danger: We THANK YOU for your courage!”
But while the written message seemed heartfelt and appropriate, the Twitterverse can’t fathom why he looks so happy in the pictures.
