On Saturday, President Donald Trump just responded to the London terror attack incidents in the most callous and insensitive way imaginable.
Without sending his thoughts or condolences to the victims of the tragic attack on citizens in London, Trump retweeted a story from Drudge Report in which the headline reads:
“Fears of new terror attack after van ‘mows down 20 people’ on London Bridge.” However, the U.K. have not yet called the incident a terrorist attack.
Fears of new terror attack after van 'mows down 20 people' on London Bridge…

In a second tweet, Trump demanded that U.S. courts approve his executive order banning travel from six Muslim-majority countries.
“We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights,” Trump tweeted. “We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!”
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!

Twitter naturally responded in horror:
This is what you retweet. This. You are a coward. You're no leader. You are a scared little boy.

HOLY F*CK! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY USING A FRESH TERROR ATTACK TO PUSH YOUR DISGUSTING XENOPHOBIC AGENDA?

IT HAPPENED LESS THAN A FEW HOURS AGO. PEOPLE ARE STILL *DYING*.
This is officially the most heartless and disgusting thing you've tweeted.

Yet all these attacks done by their own citizens. So what does this flimsy travel ban accomplish?

Muslim ban is a bad strategy. Helps radicalize ISIS sympathizers and ends up being their recruiting tool. pic.twitter.com/j88Jpy6Xmz

I have *literally* had to explain to people outside the US why our sitting President doesn't understand the most basic human social values.

Well, you're already using their dead to push your Muslim ban, so it's only fair you do something to repay them, you gross hobgoblin.
