Twitter Users Eviscerate Trump's Bizarre 'Roseanne' Tweet
As you might expect, Donald Trump’s bizarre self-pitying tweet regarding ABC’s cancellation of “Roseanne” was the sort of thing Twitter users couldn’t ignore.
The president tweeted on Wednesday asking why the network never apologized for “the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me” on the network. Meanwhile, Robert Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, had reached out to Valerie Jarrett after Roseanne Barr posted a racist tweet about her.
Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?

Some people called out Trump on his hypocrisy of demanding apologies, but never giving them.
I don't recall you calling President Obama and apologizing to him about all of the despicable things you said about him. If you aren't going to apologize, then don't expect others to. They are speaking the truth. Something you have no understanding of and live in fear of.

You are just a horrible self centered human being aren’t you?? Everything must always be about you. This tweet here just confirms that you condone Rosanne’s feelings of racism... is it because the feelings are mutual?

Some subtly told Trump what they thought of his tweet.

At least one asked the president to re-examine his priorities.
I wish you were just as outraged to learn that more than 4,000 Americans died in #PuertoRico on your watch. https://t.co/T2gBPiZKGf

Finally, some offered theories on why Trump didn’t get Iger’s call.
Maybe you were too busy grabbin' pussy.
