The city of London just experienced a rampage by three Islamofascists
who murderously drove a van into people, then attacked bar-goers just
enjoying life, with long knives, killing seven people and wounding 48,
18 grievously enough to be listed in critical condition.
The
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, a Muslim, naturally spoke to reassure the
citizenry and to vow that terrorism wouldn't intimidate the people of
London. One thing he said was this:
“You will see an increased
police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed
officers,” Khan said on Sunday, June 4th. “There is no reason to be
alarmed by this.”
The U.S. president, rather than showing solidarity and support, instead attacked Khan in a thoroughly dishonest fashion.
Trump
deliberately distorted what Mayor Khan said by pretending he was
telling people not to be alarmed by terror attacks (which actually would
have been fine if he
had said that):
“At least 7
dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is
‘no reason to be alarmed!’” Trump verbally ejaculated.
The
mayor’s office responded to Trump's gratuitous attack that Khan “has
more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed
tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging
Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police — including armed
officers — on the streets.”
Thus the mayor took the high road,
saying he had more pressing matters to attend to than to respond to
Trump's slur. He's right- getting into a pissing match with a dishonest
skunk like Trump is a bad idea. (Witness the fate of the other
Republicans who ran for president against Trump. Trump's entire strategy
was to personally insult them in juvenile terms. And it worked. Then he
did it to Clinton, who won, but lost, because under the rules of the
World's Greatest Democracy, sometimes the person with
fewer votes wins.)
But
Trump wasn't through. He launched another attack on Khan in reaction to
the statement from the Mayor's office that responded to Trump's initial
assault:
“Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had
to think fast on his ‘no reason to be alarmed’ statement. MSM is
working hard to sell it!” Trump tweeted in his usual dignified fashion,
perhaps sitting on the toilet at the time.
Trump has been holding a grudge against Khan since 2016, when Khan declared Trump
"ignorant" about Islam (a factually true statement) and was quoted in
Time magazine saying, “I’m confident that Donald Trump’s approach to
politics won’t win in America.”
So Trump went on British television to issue an ominous threat: "I think they're very rude statements and
frankly, tell him, I will remember those statements,” Trump growled.
“They're very nasty statements.”
I'll tell you who makes nasty statements... well I don't have to, do I?
FUCK Common Decency!
London Mayor Sadiq Khan: Looks like a tempting target for Bullyboy Trump.
