Big joke: Donald Trump: Oscar Pistorius sentence is RIDICULOUS

By Allsports.com.gh

American business tycoon, Donald Trump thinks Oscar Pistorius is getting off easy for killing his girlfriend, saying the Olympian's 5-year prison sentence is absolutely "ridiculous."

Trump just posted a video about the sentencing on Instagram -- expressing his anger at the legal system in South Africa ... which will reportedly allow Pistorius to get out of prison after only serving 10 months. 

Oscar spent Tuesday night in a single cell in the hospital wing of the South African prison -- because officials believe he suffers from extreme depression. 

It's clear Trump has no sympathy for the sprinter -- implying his punishment should be even harsher considering the brutal way he killed his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last year.

The Blade runner was sentenced to a five year jail term on Tuesday for shooting dead his girlfriend on Valentine's Day 2013.

The Paralympian was sentenced to five years in prison, but legal experts suggest that he will only serve 10 months and the remainder under house arrest.

He has also been sentenced to an additional three years in prison, wholly suspended, on the second count of a firearm contravention.

The trial has taken place over seven months. In September, Pistorius was cleared of murder, but found guilty of culpable homicide.

Judge Masipa 's ruling was met with angry reactions on social media, with hashtags #NoJustice and #ThingsLongerThanPistoriusSentencing  launched in protest.

Trump added his voice to the case, describing Masipa's decision as 'ridiculous', before sharing another tweet calling the judge a 'moron'.
