Personally, if he's not going to say the politically standard, trite statement usually given in these situations, I'd rather he not say anything. But, then again, I don't hate everything about Trump.

There is a pattern to Trump Speak ™

Good news?  He takes all the credit.

Bad News? He blames someone and usually calls them names.

Accusations against him? Fake news from unnamed sources...leaks are bad!

Accusations against someone he dislikes? Investigate! "Sources say" is okay!

Attack by a Muslim? Tweet about immigration ban!

Attack ON a Muslim? Silence.

Really they ONLY thing he won't tweet about is if a minority is harmed.  Whether that be a religious, sexual, or racial minority.

So while he (deservedly) gets a lot of flack about what he says his silence on specific things speaks volumes.

Let me add a lot of the criticism he gets is because he speaks SO poorly.  He knows very few words, rarely completes a sentence.
