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.

"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.

Why would he want to keep out good, educated and accomplished young people?

He said “We will not be Defeated”. He’s a muzzie so I guess he’s talking about his real people and not Brits.

Condolences are so much more important than doing something to prevent the next condolences. /s

Even an outlandish rumor that a U.S. travel ban could be extended to Great Britain would do more to get that country’s act together than you can imagine.

How would the President’s travel ban prevent something like this from happening here?

No, no, no, no NO! The proper course of action is to open the borders so we don’t make the terrorists mad. That way, they won’t hurt anyone and eventually, they will come around to being peace-loving people! Can’t you seeeeeeeeeeee!

Honestly, its hard to feel sorry for England. They have literally and deliberately allowed hundreds of ISIS guys to return from Syria and say they have no time to monitor them.

Not suspected, but KNOWN Isis. Zero consequences.

We cannot help people like that and we shouldn’t even try. all we should do is try to keep the British crap from spilling over into us.

National progressive radio (NPR) sucks.

Of course there is an amnesty bill that is what Trump is pushing for Congress to pass and he says they are near a deal on.

Amnesty is by definition removing subjects from prosecution for crimes that they have committed.

It will allow millions of illegals here currently to avoid risk of deportation and be made legal residents, at least (with citizenship sure to follow and actually part of the bill currently in Congress).

What the hell do you think Trump is doing?

Muslims from every nation need to join the roar and outrage of people who perceive their faith as being violent...and not peaceful.
