President Donald Trump was blasted for offering his "thoughts and prayers" following the fatal synagogue shooting in Poway, California.
"Thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by the shooting at the Synagogue in Poway, California. God bless you all," Trump tweeted.
"Suspect apprehended. Law enforcement did outstanding job," he continued. "Thank you!"
The internet was less than impressed with the consoler-in-chief.
