I'm actually astonished 45 hasn't made an opportunistic or tasteless tweet about the attack in Westminster

I am too.

But someone in the WH with half a brain cell must know that if he made a muslim ban scoring points tweet about the awful UK tragedy, he would be alienating Brits and possibly some from the US.

It's bad enough his arsehole of a son Donnie Jr. took Sadiq Khan's words out of context from over a year ago and tried to make a point in a tweet of his.

His latest Time interview is hilarious in a grossly awful sorta way. He is questioned on his many unsubstantiated claims (wiretapping, illegal voters, etc) he says that it's all correct because "I'm President and you're not"

Rightio... makes sense NOT

He's an overgrown toddler

@realDonaldTrump
A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends.

Give him time. He's focused on the DonTcare bill right now, so the Muslim Ban has taken a bit of a back seat. But at some point he'll say something. Even if the perp is home grown. He'll morph it into 'foreign radicalizing' or just refer to 'the incident in London' without clarifying. His fan base will gobble it up. Just like 'Bowling Green' or 'Sweden'. They happened, you know. We're just being 'kept in the dark' by 'the liberal elite'. They control the internet, you know.

pain

Please tell me that wasn't his only tweet about yesterday's attack?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 23/03/2017 15:32

The only one as far as I can see.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 23/03/2017 15:33

Sorry, there was this one 13 hours ago:

@realDonaldTrump
Spoke to U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May today to offer condolences on the terrorist attack in London. She is strong and doing very well.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 23/03/2017 15:36

And there was this from the POTUS account:

President Trump‏ @POTUS

I spoke with PM Theresa May of the United Kingdom to offer my condolences on today's terror attack in London....m.facebook.com/POTUS/posts/1289072131162224

m.facebook.com/POTUS/posts/1289072131162224 Is the link from POTUS tweet

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 23/03/2017 15:41

My feelings for adam grow stronger by the day:

Adam Schiff‏ @RepAdamSchiff
.@POTUS: Obama wiretapped me!
FBI: Nope.
NSA: Nope.
DOJ: Nope.
Brits: Nope.
@POTUS: I feel partially vindicated!

SuburbanRhonda · 23/03/2017 15:45

Lovely how he didn't have the other victims in his thoughts and prayers. America first, indeed.

Roussette · 23/03/2017 15:53

Exactly Suburban.

I'm just waiting for a crass tweet from him on this. He loves using the words "terror attack" to justify his muslim ban and he already has when talking about the American who died.

He's obviously watching telly at the moment. Apparently he watched 8-9 hours during a 24 hour period. I imagine he has the attention span of a gnat at meetings and would prefer to channel hop.

Roussette · 23/03/2017 15:54

*Apparently he watches. Not watched

@BretonGooner it's a mass email sent out to his supporters (or people like me who registered for his rallies)

Trump ends the "poll" by begging for money (which you should give him to spite the lyin' media)

egosumquisum1 · 23/03/2017 16:24

Let me get this right.

The NSA were "tapping" Russian communications.
During that time, someone from Trump's team got picked up communicating with Russia as part of this surveillance.
That person should not have been communicating.
Trump then states that Obama was "tapping " his team.
Trump is unhappy with this happening.
Trump is unhappy that the news has leaked out.

Why $2700? Seems an odd amount.

USA Today:

"WASHINGTON — President Trump is touting the House Intelligence Committee chairman's assertion that spy agencies engaged in "incidental collection" of Trump associates' communications, saying it's evidence to support his claim that President Obama had Trump Tower "wiretapped" during last year's presidential campaign."

www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/23/trump-new-intelligence-proves-hes-right-nunes/99531926/

It's only evidence that either Trump is Dumb, or thinks other people are dumb.

AcrossthePond55 · 23/03/2017 16:32

Please understand everyone that I am NOT dissing the man who died yesterday. He sounds a lovely man and his loss is a tragedy for his family. My condolences go out to them

BUT, Trump referred to him in his tweet as 'a great American'. No, he was an ordinary American, just like I am. A 'regular guy' who was in the wrong place and the wrong time. To refer to him as 'great' IMO actually trivializes him, makes him a 'talking point' rather than a human being with a family. Abe Lincoln was a great American. Greatness is conferred on someone because of their deeds, not to make a false claim of sympathy. Because Scrotus could give a rat's ass about the rank and file of us.
