‘Crazed Lunatic’: Trump Speaks Out About NYC Shooting
Mediaite ^ | July 29, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 07/29/2025 7:01:42 AM PDT by Miami Rebel

President Donald Trump issued a statement Tuesday morning addressing the Midtown Manhattan shooting that left four people dead, including an police officer, calling the incident “tragic” and describing the gunman as a “crazed lunatic.”

“I have been briefed on the tragic shooting that took place in Manhattan, a place that I know and love,” Trump said in the statement, which was shared on his social media platform Truth Social as well as X, formerly Twitter, by his press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “I trust our Law Enforcement Agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence.”

Trump offered condolences to the victims’ families, singling out NYPD officer Didarul Islam, a 36-year-old immigrant from Bangladesh and father of two, as a hero: “My heart is with the families of the four people who were killed, including the NYPD Officer, who made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless the New York Police Department, and God Bless New York!”

The statement is Trump’s first public comment on the attack, which unfolded Monday evening in the lobby and upper floors of 345 Park Avenue — an office building that houses major tenants including Blackstone, the NFL, and Rudin Management.

The suspect, 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura of Las Vegas, opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle, killing three people in the lobby before killing a fourth victim on the 33rd floor and taking his own life.

Twelve hours after the shooting we know more about this bum than either of Trump’s would-be assassins.

With just a smidge of punctuation change.

HMMMMMM Intentional headline to call Trump a ‘Crazed Lunatic’? I think so.

CNN couldn't get the narrative out fast enough that the shooter was "possibly White."

CNN anchor Erin Burnett flamed for saying NYC shooter Shane Tamura was ‘possibly white’

More proof the mental hospitals closed in the 1970s need to be reopened. When closed, and the crazies dumped on the streets, mass murders took off like a rocket.
I can only remember THREE mass murders before 1970, yet semi-auto rifles have been around since 1903. Only mass killings back then criminal gangs killing each other.

Howard Unruh with a Luger 1949
Richard Speck killed 8 student nurses with a knife in 1966
Charles Whitman with a bolt action hunting rifle in 1966.

If true maybe we can begin to round up the crazies the 1970s closing of mental hospitals dumped on the streets. When done mass murders took off like a rocket!
Almost every mass murder since then has been a person with mental problems who, in the 1950s would have been in a mental hospital.
