By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow April 22 at 3:28 PM President Trump deleted a tweet Monday in which he had mistakenly said he had spoken by phone with Sri Lanka’s president instead of the country’s prime minister in the wake of the Easter Sunday explosions that killed 290 people and wounded more than 500.
According to a statement from White House spokesman Hogan Gidley, Trump called Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on Monday morning to express condolences for the attacks and pledge the support of the United States. “Spoke to President Maithripala Sirisena of Sri Lanka yesterday to inform him that the United States stands by him and his country in the fight against terrorism,” Trump said in the deleted tweet. “Also expressed condolences on behalf of myself and the People of the United States.”
Spoke to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe of Sri Lanka this morning to inform him that the United States stands by him and his country in the fight against terrorism. Also expressed condolences on behalf of myself and the People of the United States!Last year, Sirisena had sought to oust Wickremesinghe and replace him with former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, sparking a political crisis.
Anyone surprised?
Ok try publishing this headline: Islamists in Sri Lanka killed hundreds of Christians.
LMAO! What a dummy
Oh give me a break. It's a country that barely no one is up to date with and they have both a president AND a prime minister (What is the point of using a monarchy anymore, anyway) Get real.. This isn't news.
Trump always on top of the situation,what a tosser
LOL - We know who tweeted that one - LOL

And? He is human? You “understand this”; Correct? Elon Musk hasn’t completely taken over “The Perfectional Arena” yet, has he?!?!

WP mixes up real and fake news, daily.
The Post confuses itself as a news organization when it is simply a partisan hack rag

Yawn...shows how desperate the MSM are...
I have heard actual chickens are appalled by how you resort to frivolous gossip instead grown up news.
realDonaldTrump that’s because he KNOWS NOTHING, reads NOTHING, listens only to his ass kissing FOX commentators !!! His World View and understanding of international relations and history is ZILCH!!!
Yes, this is the problem. Not Muslims murdering and maiming peaceful Christians on their holiest day, and the minimizing and politicizing this bloodbath and gaslighting us as to its true genesis - the barbaric cult of Islam. You're VILE.
Boring
Obama & Hillary mix up something called Easter Worshippers for Christians.
You published fake Russia collusion stories for 2 YEARS. You might want to back off on criticizing others. Did you know those guys' names before this happened? Of course not. This is juvenile, WaPo.
And you guys play the victim card for muslims.

He doesn’t remember! He is not bright enough or interested at all!
While mixes up collusion and hoaxes.
