President Trump responded Friday to reports of a terrorist attack aboard the London subway with a tweet that his travel ban against six Middle Eastern countries "should be far larger."
"The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!" Trump tweeted Friday morning.

Trump also criticized the "loser terrorists" suspected to be behind the attack.
"Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!" Trump tweeted. "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!"
London police reported a bucket wrapped in an insulated bag caught fire aboard a subway train during morning rush hour Friday.
Commuters aboard the District Line train said a white plastic bucket inside a foil-lined shopping bag that may have contained wires inside went up in flames during their commute. People aboard the train panicked and tried to get away from the fire. Eighteen people have been hospitalized.

So do something about it Mr Trump and extend the frickin travel/immigration ban. Try adding Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Algeria, and Pakistan for starters. Supreme Court said its legal too. Stop talking about it, and just do it
My thoughts exactly, word for word!
Does no good to talk or complain about PC, FIGHT IT with action... we can fight the communists in our midst and islamic terrorists at the same time, no need to bow or bend to one or the other.
Excerpt from the Oath of Allegiance all presidents swear to:
that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
Yeah, it's almost like they have a southern boarder with Mexico or something.
Maybe the people who set the bucket bomb were moozlum “dreamers”? Really...how can “great” britain be so weak and misguided.
“He said “We will not be Defeated”. “
I have zero respect for that mentality they way it has become understood. Now it means, “we will not do a single thing, but we will not stop our daily routine”.
How moronic, pig headed, and idiotic. Continue on as normal, accept that occasionally many of you will be blown up...and just toddle along like little automatons proud that sometimes being blown up wont make you do a single thing differently.
You have to prove as veteran you were at each phase wronged, if the GVT wronged you, and made amends, then all is forgiven.
“rumor that a U.S. travel ban could be extended to Great Britain “
We are already to the point that Brits should need to apply for a visa. They should not be in visa waiver any longer. Terror is rampant there. But their single decision to allow ISIS Brits to simply return home from Syria should have got them dropped.
“How would the President’s travel ban prevent something like this from happening here”
Well you ignorant twit. Unless you think this attack was conducted after teatime by H. Salt who was angry that his Fish and Chips business hit the skids, its pretty obvious that this was someone who shouldn’t have been allowed into the UK.
Seems like no matter the topic, we can count on you to oppose every word Trump says.
Such a pleasant person you are. Well, sir, how do you know that the person in question wasn't born in the UK? Or that they weren't from Pakistan or India or Indonesia or Morocco or Egypt or Saudi Arabia or Turkey or one of the host of countries not included in the President's ban?
Trump's travel ban isn't even a partial solution. The Islamic terrorists who have committed their rampages in the U.S. did not come the banned countries. None of them. Not one. Or weren't you aware of that? The Travel Ban is a feel-good scheme meant for people like you.
On the plus side, at least we haven't had any more massacres like the one at Bowling Green, right?
Seems like no matter the topic, we can count on you to oppose every word Trump says.
And we can also count on you to ignore the obvious.
I thought there weren’t any victims
Yeh we need a Muslim ban not a travel ban.
Travel ban doesn’t help when the enemy is already here. They are here, they are there. Right now, and they are an existential threat to mankind.
The writing is on the wall for Europe with demographics now making it a Muslim continent within a few generations. Merkel accelerated that timeline by decades by importing millions more. It’s now unavoidable.
And the weak Euros deserve every bit of what they’ll get because they’ve been both gullible and arrogant.
So the USA shouldn’t spend another red cent on defending Europe (except our friend Britain). The US should withdraw from NATO. At this point, it’s a total waste of money.
Then let Putin have Europe and he’ll strong-arm the Islamists like the Euros cannot. He’s not PC at all.
Even though Putin is a bad guy in some ways, at least he’s part of Western Civilization and we can establish an alliance with him in the primary future clash of civilizations: Islam vs. Western Civilization.
“Keep Calm and Carry On” is well past its expiration date. I can’t stand hearing that phrase - The Guardian is bragging that Brits are”putting on the kettle” while their fellow citizens are tending to their wounds. What good is tea when people are being murdered and/or mutilated?
Very good question. It doesn't necessarily but every one of those failed or failing countries shelter terrorists,knowingly or unknowingly who will cut a head off,blow up a bus or train or shoot up people in a second. Furthermore,in failed states like Syria how does one background check? Most "Syrians" are from all over the terror warlands of the Islamic world. Many who are let in,travel back and forth as Jihad terror tourists.
To let people into our country unfettered substantially increases the chances of terror and the organization of cells. Furthermore,it may motivate countries a little more to clean up their own mess. Why should it be America's mess? The President has the Constitutional authority to prevent anybody he wants from entering the country for any reason. Most Americans agree with the President. I think the ban should be expanded.
It won’t. First there are too many muslim terrorists already in western countries. So we have to start with that fact.
The banning or extreme vetting from say 7 countries means that they will simply come in from the other countries.
Islam is the problem. there’s an old-line on the web. If 1 percent of muslims are violent then that’s a shitpot full of people. Islamic is slowly taking over peacefully in places like England, paris, and other European countries. we see it here in Dearborn and places in NY and a few other states.
We have to declare it a violent religion and an exception to the protections afforded by the first amendment. How many examples do we have since Munich?
We should stop immigration to the uS by Muslims and take a hardline on deporting those who espouse violence, plot, attend meetings and so forth. An american who goes to join up or train with terrorists should be put down as a traitor.
This is like NK or Iran or other problems. the longer we wait the more difficult to stop later on.
Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, worked very hard to let in tens of thousands of Muslims. The plan was for the thousands to turn into millions.
And then your children, you wife, your grandchildren would not be safe unless they were Muslims.
[And gee, we here know what the London mayor’s response will be, eh?]
Theresa May is already acting the dhimmi doofus.
What a shock./s
