President-elect Donald Trump condemned the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, calling the admiration for the suspect a "sickness" and highlighting the disturbing divide in public sentiment surrounding the incident.
During a press conference, Trump asserted, "It's just an overall sickness as opposed to a specific sickness. That was a terrible thing. It was cold-blooded, just a cold-blooded, horrible killing; and how people can like this guy, that's a sickness actually."
Trump expressed disbelief at the support for the shooter, stating, "I don't get it. I think it's terrible. I think it's really terrible that some people seem to admire him, like him."
Discussing the divisive nature of reactions to the murder, Trump remarked, "It seems that there's a certain appetite for him. I don't know. It's hard to believe that that can even be thought of."
