Just in case you live under a rock..
A tragedy occurred in Paris two days ago that involved gunfire, blasts, and bombing. The attack left over 100 innocent people dead, and the terrorist group ISIS is taking responsibility for this act of terrorism.
Presidential candidate, Donald Trump made some tasteless comments regarding shootings in Paris, but surprisingly, he wasn’t referring to yesterday’s shooting:
Isn’t it interesting that the tragedy in Paris took place in one of the toughest gun control countries in the world?

As you can see the tweet is dated back to January, but it still moved Frank Ocean. He took to Tumblr to share an open letter directed towards Trump, telling him exactly how he feels about that tweet:
“ON THE REAL THOUGH DONALD TRUMP. HOW IS IT ‘INTERESTING’ THAT THESE SHOOTINGS HAPPENED IN A COUNTRY THAT’S TOUGH ON GUNS. TELL US DON? BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT VACUOUS OBSERVATION WAS ABOUT GIVING YOUR NRA-LOVING CONSTITUENCY A HANDJOB AND SPINNING A TRAGEDY FOR POLITICAL GAIN AND I’M THINKING MAYBE USING A SITUATION WHERE DOZENS OF INNOCENTS HAVE JUST BEEN MURDERED IN THE STREETS ISN’T THE BEST TIME. NO?”
The singer then went on to send his love to Paris during this dark time:
“LOVE TO PARIS AND ANY INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY WHO’S LOST LOVED ONES TO EVIL ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD. CHILL W/ THE ANGLES.”
Regardless of the time stamp on the tweet, Frank’s backlash was totally appropriate and Donald Trump is just plain wack.
