Rihanna calls out Donald Trump on social media

Publish Date: Monday, 5 August 2019, 4:15PM

Rihanna has slammed the response of US President Donald Trump in a post on social media.

Yesterday was a horror show in the States with two mass shootings occurring within hours. The first attack was at a Walmart in Texas which left 20 people dead and 26 injured. The second attack was outside an Ohio bar when a gunman opened fire killing nine people.

These atrocities spurred the singer to action after seeing Trump's response to the attacks on Twitter.

On her Instagram she posted a screen grab of Trump's tweet and began her message with, ""Um... Donald, you spelt "terrorism" wrong!".

Um... Donald, you spelt “terrorism” wrong! Your country had 2 terrorist attacks back to back, hours apart leaving almost 30 innocent people dead. This, just days after yet another terrorist attack in California, where a terrorist was able to LEGALLY purchase an assault rifle (AK-47) in Vegas, then drive hours to a food festival in Cali leaving 6 more people dead including a young infant baby boy! Imagine a world where it’s easier to get an AK-47 than a VISA! Imagine a world where they build a wall to keep terrorists IN AMERICA!!! My prayers and deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims and the communities affected and traumatized, from Texas, California, and Ohio! I’m so sorry for your loss! Nobody deserves to die like this! NOBODY!
