Trump Blasts London Terrorist Attacks: 'We Must Stop Being Politically Correct' or 'it Will Only Get Worse'

By Tyler Durden  /  ZeroHedge

After a torrid night, in which at least seven people were killed in a terrorist rampage by three knife-wielding assailants in London, President Trump took to Twitter to warn terrorism will “only get worse” if officials don’t “get down to the business of security for our own people” and end political correctness.

“We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart it will only get worse,” he tweeted just after 7am ET on Sunday as the world reeled from the third deadly terrorist attack in the UK in less than three months.

Trump also mocked London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s appeal for calm: “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’ ” Trump said in a subsequent tweet.

“This is our city… and we will never be cowed by terrorism,” Mayor Khan said during a statement in which he called those behind the attack “barbaric cowards.”

In a statement to the BBC, Khan said “Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There’s no reason to be alarmed. One of the things the police and all of us need to do is ensure that we’re as safe as we possibly can be,” he continued.

Trump also focused on the weapons used in the attack, pointing out the absence of guns used and the resulting lack of a “gun debate”.

Late on Saturday, when details of the terrorist attack first emerged Trump renewed his call for the courts to approve his executive order banning travel from six Muslim-majority countries prompting a harsh response from his critics who accused him of using a tragedy for promoting his political agenda.

“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!”

Trump last week petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider the legality of his travel ban. The DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said in a statement the department had “asked the Supreme Court to hear this important case and [is] confident that President Trump’s executive order is well within his lawful authority to keep the nation safe and protect our communities from terrorism.

Meanwhile, Theresa May appeared to side with Trump, when she called for the country to unite after Saturday’s attack, saying can not “pretend that things can continue as they are.”

“We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are. Things need to change,” May said in a statement Sunday. May said the recent attacks in England are bound together “by the single, evil ideology of Islamist extremism that preaches hatred, sows division and promotes sectarianism.”

“Defeating that ideology is one of the great challenges of our time.” May added that the ideology cannot be given the “safe space it needs to breed.”

The Prime Minister also said Britain’s counter-terrorism strategy must be reviewed due to “what we are learning about the changing threat.”

“Since the emergence of the threat from Islamist-inspired terrorism, our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public,” she said. “But it is time to say enough is enough. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would. Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values. But when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism, things need to change.”

The country’s response to the violence, she said, needs to be to unite. “We must come together, we must pull together, and united we will take on and defeat our enemies.”

      Somewhere May said about her internet snooping, using this attack as a reason to spy more on people. Thats the problem, May or anyone else isn’t bothered about any attack, they’ll use it as a tool to further their goals. They don’t want to stop the attacks, May deffinately isn’t bothered about the common person, she hunts anything that moves.

Anyone siding with radicals to continue being brought into their country is either one of them or an enemy of the country . They must be dealt with !!! Quickly !!! And you will find that they are more than likely negative blood reptilians ! When the people wake up and realize what they are dealing with then it will begin to make more sense ! Right now they think the elected officials are on their sides , they are not ! Most of the officials have been placed in by these evil entities . The elections are rigged ! Even our President Trump said so himself . Looking back now seeing the past , He is right ! Bush senior is a negative blood reptilian as well as Bush Jr . Clinton is a negative blood reptilian . Obama is a negative blood reptilian . And all these though from different political parties are kin to each other . Brittany’s queen is a negative blood reptilian , the pope is a negative blood reptilian , the elite bankers are negative blood reptilians . Now check out what I have written . Science says they are aliens or reptilians as compared to the rest of the human race . The devil is called the serpent , the dragon and satan . He is a reptilian . These people of office are from the fallen angels seed . Their goals are to bring about Georgia Guide Stones prediction of killing off 6 1/2 billion out of 7 billion people . This way they can rule the world and save the others for lunch or dinner . Don’t believe that ? Then check out on the net what the negative blood reptilians like to eat , people !
