Rihanna<\/a> criticized President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s response in the aftermath of a pair of mass shootings in the United States that left 29 dead.<\/p>\n

After the shooting at an El Paso, Texas Walmart<\/a> Saturday that killed 20 people, Trump tweeted<\/a>, \u201cToday\u2019s shooting in El Paso, Texas, was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today\u2019s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, following yet another mass shooting<\/a> perpetrated by a white male with an assault rifle \u2013 this time at a bar in Dayton, Ohio \u2013 Rihanna slammed Trump\u2019s tweet on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cUm\u2026 Donald, you spelt \u201cterrorism\u201d wrong! Your country had 2 terrorist attacks back to back hours apart leaving almost 30 innocent people dead,\u201d Rihanna wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, 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!\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer then took aim at the president\u2019s anti-immigration and pro-gun policies: \u201cImagine a world where it\u2019s easier to get an AK-47 than a VISA! Imagine a world where they build a wall to keep terrorists IN AMERICA!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Rihanna continued, \u201cMy prayers and deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims from Texas, California, and Ohio! I\u2019m so sorry for your loss! Nobody deserves to die like this! NOBODY!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardi B also condemned the president on social media Sunday:<\/p>\n
