Trump misses Sri Lankan death toll by millions in condolence tweet.

In what was supposed to be a somber statement of condolence from a world leader over the terror bombings in Sri Lanka, President Donald Trump goofed up and mistakenly recounted the death toll as “138 million” in a weekend tweet.The actual death toll in Saturday night bombings at the time of Trump’s tweet was 138 — not 138 million. The toll continued to rise and was reported Monday as 290 dead and 500 injured.

Then Trump angrily swerved into attacking the media, “Trump Haters,” Democrats and special counsel Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt.” 138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels. The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help!— Ian Bowers April 21, 2019 138 million? Where exactly is your mind?According to trump, 138 million people died in #SriLanka & on the next tweet 15 mins later, he saids he has nevr been this happy for USA.
