ormer President Donald Trumps mangled recitation of the names of the 21 Uvalde, Texas, mass shooting victims at the National Rifle Associations convention on Friday made Twitter critics blood run cold.
The names of the 19 children and two teachers, broken up into hardly recognizable syllables in Trumps stumbling pronunciation, were interspersed with the funereal sound of a gong.
Despite the tragedy, Trump hailed the NRA in his speech at its convention in Houston and ended his remarks with his trademark clenched fists and cha-cha-cha dance move.
He blamed the horrific bloodshed at yet another American school on broken families and called efforts to curb gun violence grotesque.
Twitter users found the entire spectacle horrifying.

I found myself once again (I have been doing so well since President Biden took over) yelling at the TV screen and using the F word when they showed his ugly puss. It was an automatic visceral reaction to having to see the media covering him once again.
