Yep, that’s just about exactly as much gravitas we would expect Trump to have in this situation.
One could be forgiven for assuming that the President-elect of the United States would have drafted a thoughtful, measured response to the death of Fidel Castro — the long-serving leader of America’s economic (and occasionally military) adversary, not least due to a recent normalisation of relations between the two nations.
One could be further forgiven for supposing that there was never any chance that Donald Trump would go down the respectful route, especially not when he’s got his smartphone within arm’s reach.
Rather than responding to Castro’s death as a statesman, Trump responded in the same perhaps a drunk uncle would, simply by yelling the news across the room — happy to have the scoop himself.
Fidel Castro is dead!

We expect he’ll be releasing a full statement once Kellyanne Conway realises what he’s done and has to clarify what he really meant. Again.
