LONDON ― U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and London Mayor Sadiq Khan were quick to slam President Donald Trump’s response to Friday’s terror attack at a London tube station. In a Friday morning Twitter rant, Trump speculated heavily about the perpetrators of a bomb attack that left at least 22 people injured. He referenced the so-called Islamic State, despite there being very little confirmed information about the bombing. He also used the incident as an excuse to push his U.S. travel ban on citizens from six Muslim-majority countries. “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation,” May said on Friday. “I’ve simply been too busy this morning to look at Twitter,” Khan said in response to a question by a British radio station about Trump’s tweets. “I’m not going to go there. My priority today is catch the individual or individuals responsible.” “I’m hopefully the last person who’s speculating about these sort of things,” he added. A police spokesperson told CNN that Trump’s comments on Scotland Yard were “pure speculation” and “unhelpful.” This isn’t the first time Trump has angered officials in the U.K., one of the United States’ closest allies. The U.S. president specifically called Khan out on Twitter in June after seven people died in a terror attack in London. U.K. politicians of all stripes condemned Trump following the spat. May said he was “wrong” to have lashed out at Khan. His comments come in contrast to his silence for two days following the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last month. He justified his inability to condemn hatred by claiming he didn’t want to speak because he “didn’t know all the facts.”
On the plus side, every time he yaps, good feeling goes to Khan from across the globe. I wonder if he is fully cognisant that Khan the gold star father and the mayor of London are not the same guy. Hears Khan and just thinks, man I hate Khan. It was clear he was not clued up that Kim Jong Un was not also his father and grandfather. God it must be so embarrassing to be American. Like mentioning Hitler with a German abroad was/is an inevitable conversational black hole will the stench of Trumpy linger for decades hence?
Quick to slam the tweet, slow to deal with the root cause. Khan, doesn't even want to go there, by his own admission. Theresa May,...who voted for her?
So they're mad Trump said it was terrorism? What should it be called? What's the liberal phrase/euphemism that is acceptable when someone of foreign origin bombs the subway and kills locals? Who gives a shit what Khan thinks? Yeah, he won't go "there" and that's the reason this crap keeps happening.
LOL...UK Raises Terror Threat Level to "Critical" as Another Attack possible. But get mad at Trump for denouncing a terror attack. How can you have an IQ above 100 and find fault with that?
Tsing, when are the electorate going to shoulder the blame? It's too easy to keep blaming the politicians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Manchester_Arena_bombing How many children need to be raped, maimed or killed under the hideous and sectarian banner of diversity?
Theresa May and most of the UK political establishment are fking traitors . http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-fears-the-jihadist-enemy-within-9554429.html Syria civil war: Hundreds of radicalised fighters are already back in the UK, warns former MI6 chief
Trump gives not a shit about the bomb or anyone in it, it is just a way to nit-pick feud with Khan. Reported many sources in July: "At least 2,300 civilians likely died from Coalition strikes overseen by the Obama White House—roughly 80 each month in Iraq and Syria. As of July 13, more than 2,200 additional civilians appear to have been killed by Coalition raids since Trump was inaugurated—upwards of 360 per month, or 12 or more civilians killed for every single day of his administration." Is anyone not expecting blow-back from this? So while the UK deals with the extra heat one would expect from a major escalation, Trumpy just makes personal attacks.
