Stock Markets Up Record Numbers. For this year alone, Dow up 18.65%, S&P up 24.36%, Nasdaq Composite up 29.17%. Its the economy, stupid.

Without the horror show that is the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, the Stock Markets and Economy would be even better, if that is possible, and the Border would be closed to the evil of Drugs, Gangs and all other problems! #2020

At 10:16 a.m., President Trump tweeted about the tragic event.

He said he had just received a full briefing on the shooting.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. We are continuing to monitor the situation as the investigation is ongoing, he tweeted.

News had just broke out that the shooting suspect was an aviation student from Saudi Arabia, and that authorities are investigating if the shooting was terrorism-related.

Trump also tweeted that he spoke to King Salman from Saudi Arabia, who expressed his sincere condolences and wanted to make it clear that the incident doesnt reflect the Saudi people.

.The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people, the tweet read.
