President Trump sends tone-deaf travel ban tweet amid London Bridge terror

Source: Daily News

President Trump used the occasion of a terror attack in London to plug his proposed travel ban Saturday evening.

“We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!” Trump tweeted as chaos unfolded across multiple sites, with reports of fatalities on the London Bridge.

He seemed to recognize the insensitivity of the post and minutes later tweeted again.

“Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U.K., we will be there - WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!”

Nothing can more clearly demonstrate the level of narcissistic rage that this man has when he has to turn every event, every tragedy, every living moment into something about him.

Two hundred years they will be writing plays and movies about Trump and trying to answer the question as to how he was able to get more than 100 people in the US to support him.

They own him and must suffer the consequences of 40 years of stupid-making in America.

Especially in 2018 and 2020, but the branding and framing of language must BEGIN NOW, if not sooner.

These attacks are a direct response to threats made by tRump. It seems there have been more attacks these past few months than the entire eight years Obama was in office.
Just as 9/11 was caused by bush and the neocons, trump and his evil clowns in power now are goading these young Muslim men into lashing out.
Perhaps if trump showed a little more compassion to the 99.99% of peaceful Muslims across the world this small lunatic fringe of terrorists wouldn't feel the need to resort to violence.

Although I wasn't surprised he blew it off for days. Hillary was right on it, which I found comforting. I couldn't help but compare that orange lump to how President Obama would have responded.

... would be more effective than #45's Muslim/Travel Ban.

Or machetes.

The ban is useless, worthless.

The Metropolitan Police, MI5, and the other security services will do their job and do it well. Probably won't be sharing as much as was done in Manchester.

Also the victims of this, as well as all terror attacks in the UK don't get a certain thing that anyone in the USA would get... a medical bill.

#45 is most definitely the anti-Obama.
