Rihanna Calls Out President Trump Over His Response to El Paso & Dayton Mass Shootings

Rihanna isn't satisfied with President Donald Trump's response to the two deadly mass shootings that took place over the weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
The singer took to Instagram Sunday (Aug. 4) to call out Trump and express her frustration over the ease of purchasing assault rifles in the United States.
"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!" Rihanna captioned a screenshot of Trump's tweet.
"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 from Texas, California, and Ohio! I’m so sorry for your loss! Nobody deserves to die like this! NOBODY!"
Rihanna is one of many artists -- including John Legend, Cardi B and Chuck D -- voicing their anger and sadness over the back-to-back mass shootings this weekend. The El Paso and Dayton shootings left 20 and 9 people dead, respectively, with dozens more injured. Both shooters were identified as white males in their early twenties who used assault rifles to carry out the attacks.
