Legendary television host Regis Philbin passed away on Saturday and Donald Trump decided to make his death all about himself.
He tweeted the following:
“One of the greats in the history of television, Regis Philbin has passed on to even greater airwaves, at 88. He was a fantastic person, and my friend. He kept telling me to run for President. Holds the record for “most live television”, and he did it well. Regis, we love you. And to Joy, his wonderful wife who he loved so much, my warmest condolences!!!”
….And to Joy, his wonderful wife who he loved so much, my warmest condolences!!!

Twitter users decided to slam Trump for making Philbin’s death about himself.
He made his own father's eulogy about him, so yeh.

“He (Regis) kept telling me to run for President.”
Did he really?
Even when expressing “condolences” Trump finds a way to weave in something about himself. His narcissism never takes a day off!

Trump blames Regis for his presidency. It's always someone elses fault 😉😉

Presidential tip: Do not combine “condolences” with “!!!”

In Trumpworld, TV host far exceeds civil rights leader for its virtue.

Trump responded a lot faster to news of Regis's death than he did about John Lewis. https://t.co/n2oFxfJpBv
