Of course you heard about it because nothing else happened. It's not like Trump talked to the victims, he just promoted his hat. But maybe we are too harsh on him because if he talked to some victims he may have even been tempted to promise them some money and considering how Trump family already brought secret service to the brink of bankruptcy, it's not like Trump wants to enlarge the bill even more so that he may lose a weekend at Mar-a-Lago or that Tiffany can't go to the Venice in Italy to buy some shaal she had her eye on.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
