Two photos that sum up the difference between Trump and Obama
People are comparing how Donald Trump responded to the Florida school shooting which killed 17 people with the actions of his predecessor Barack Obama when faced with a similar tragedy.
The visual difference between Trump and Obama when talking about or visiting the aftermath of a school shooting is striking. Did anyone tell Trump it’s not a celebration? pic.twitter.com/cgwy32ql8S

Here’s Trump.
Obama.
Trump.
Obama.
Spot a pattern developing yet? Anyone?
Both these pictures were taken after national tragedies. Guess which president is a sociopath just posing and which one is capable of genuine empathy. pic.twitter.com/F7Qm7Y0l5H

Obama’s reaction to slaughtered American children was tears.
Trump’s reaction to slaughtered American children was a smile and a thumbs up.
Another jarring juxtaposition. pic.twitter.com/LgDMaFZ8dP— eli friedmann (@eligit) February 17, 2018
True to form, trump tweets out huge smiles all around and thumbs up. In contrast, Obama shows real empathy in times of tragedy pic.twitter.com/f9k7X1ZDES

Trump has no emotions. He is shallow affect, psychotic. No one in their right mind would smile and give thumbs up in this situation. Real president vs fake president. Real sorrow vs photo op. Good vs evil. #ImpeachTrumpPence pic.twitter.com/WbEq7MFs6I

And here’s what happened later.
1: After meeting with families of the Sandy Hook victims for hours, Obama sat alone in a classroom before attending a prayer vigil.
2: After visiting with the wounded in one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, Trump attends a Studio 54 themed party at Mar-a-Lago. pic.twitter.com/AmZSHMyGhP
