		</div><p>Rihanna has hit out at Donald Trump after this weekend’s mass shootings in America.</p>
<p>Twenty-nine people were killed in separate incidents in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, and dozens more were injured.</p>
<p>The US president posted a message on Twitter after the shooting in Texas, saying that it was “not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice”, adding: <em>“I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act.”</em></p>
<p>However, Rihanna was apparently unimpressed with Mr Trump’s description and delivered a scathing response on social media.</p>
<p><em>“Um… Donald, you spelt ‘terrorism’ wrong!”</em> she wrote on Instagram.</p>
<p><em>“Your country had 2 terrorist attacks back to back hours apart leaving almost 30 innocent people dead.</em></p>
<p><em>“This, 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!</em></p>
<p><em>“Imagine a world where it’s easier to get an AK-47 than a VISA! Imagine a world where they build a wall to keep terrorists IN AMERICA!!!”</em></p>
<p><em>“My prayers and deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims from Texas, California, and Ohio!”</em> she added.</p>
<p><em>“I’m so sorry for your loss! Nobody deserves to die like this! NOBODY!”</em></p>
<p>The two shootings took place in the space of 24 hours.</p>
<p>Nine people were killed and at least 16 injured on Ohio, and 20 people were killed and more than two dozen injured in the attack at a shopping centre in Texas.</p>
<p>Many celebrities have spoken out about gun control in the wake of the attacks.</p>
<p>Singer Lizzo said it was a “close call” for her family after the shooting in Ohio.</p>

<p>Actress Julianne Moore shared a photograph of women hugging each other outside the Texas shopping centre and wrote: <em>“TAKE ACTION: The House of Representatives passed a bill to require background checks on all gun sales. Now, the Senate must act.</em></p>
<p><em>“In honor of El Paso, text CHECKS to 644-33 to be connected with your Senators and tell them to act on background checks.”</em></p>
<p>The West Wing actor Bradley Whitford wrote on Twitter: <em>“3000 died on 9/11. Over 10 times that many Americans die EVERY YEAR from gun violence.</em></p>
<p><em>“The NRA/GOP think the blood of 40,000 innocent souls is the price of freedom.</em></p>
