May: Trump’s tweets after terror attack not helping
NY Post ^ | September 15, 2017 | Yaron Steinbuch

British Prime Minister Theresa May lashed out at President Trump for suggesting in a tweet that Friday’s London subway terrorist had been known to police.

May said that his assertion was not “helpful” and that authorities were still investigating the “full circumstances” surrounding the attack, which injured at least 22 people.

In his tweetstorm, Trump referred to the attacker as a “loser terrorist.”

“These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!” he said.

“Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner. The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!” he added.

After chairing a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee, May said: “I never think it is helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation,” the Telegraph reported.

“As I have just said the police and security services are working to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly attack and to identify all those responsible,” she said.

Trump told reporters Friday morning that he had been briefed on the explosion and said he planned to call May.

“It’s a terrible thing,” he said. “It keeps going and going, and we have to be very smart and we have to be very, very tough — perhaps we’re not nearly tough enough.”

Scotland Yard has yet to confirm whether the person behind the fiery explosion had been on authorities’ radar, the paper reported.

It helped me! Cheered me up to see Trump kicking May in the slats...again.

And he’s right: SY is asleep at the switch - again.

Yeah; we should really listen to someone whose ineptitude almost resulted in Jeremy Corbyn unseating her.

Pretending Muhammadans aren’t all potential terrorists isn’t helping much either, Terri.

When Scotland Yard finally has to concede this perp was known to them, it will be devastating for the May government.

They will do all they can to delay and minimize that fact. And they’re asking Trump to help them.

Good luck with that.

There goes that “crazy” Trump again; telling the truth before the spinmeisters have a chance to cover their asses.

As you may know, it’s Rosh Hashanah tonight. I wonder if this is what started them up again.

Did Trump tweet, “this is all just part of living in a big city?”

Worthy of Note:
All 4 major EU leaders are CHILDLESS.
(U.K., France, Italy, Germany)

No skin in the game.
Symptom of the demise of European culture.

If this continues which it will it would not surprise me if by this time next year politicians start being treated like Mussolini. They have betrayed the citizens of the west and then trying to shame them to islam err I mean to submit to this insanity. Islam should be made illegal as it is an accessory to murder across the world. It’s not a religion more accurate is death cult.

But wasn’t it Londons muzzie mayor that awhile back was spouting that terrorism, mayhem, murder is just a part of daily urban life in large cities ? Why are May’s knickers all in a knot then with President Trump’s statement ?

I think they are gearing up for lots of attacks for our new year Miss Marmelstein.

But Rosh Hashanah begins September 20th this year M.M. :^)

I got my Shofar reading either way. :D

Virile men and strong women (i.e., Margaret Thatcher) make better leaders than wishy-washy people.

Sorry if that is non-p.c., but she really seemed to overreact to the president’s tweets.

Odd how people who don’t like him follow his tweets. LOL! It is almost as if they have some sort of crush on him. It reminds me of a young boy teasing a girl, pulling her braids, etc. ;)

btw, PM May ... pretty sure the president has solid intel and he has invariably been correct in the past.

Most British and European citizens are left-of-center, and the Left sides with Islam in the destruction of the West.

So no, there will be no uprisings.

Europe is finished. We are watching a slow motion collapse.
