Donald Trump has waded into the debate on this morning’s Parsons’s Green Tube blast with a series of inflammatory tweets.

The US President posted four times on the topic in 20 minutes, blaming ISIS and calling for the internet to be turned off to clamp down on terror recruitment.

In his first tweet on the subject, Trump blamed a “sick and demented” “loser terrorist” for 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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017





The tweet also seemed to imply that Scotland Yard knew about the terror attack.

The comment by Trump, who riled Londoners after getting into a row with Sadiq Khan after the London Bridge terror attack, has since been criticised by Theresa May.

The PM (not known for criticising the US President) said it wasn’t “helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation“.

In his next post, Trump seemingly called for the internet – “their main recruitment tool” – to be “cut off”.

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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017

He referred to his infamous travel ban in his third tweet, saying it should be “larger, tougher and more specific – but stupidly, that would be politically correct!”

The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017





In his fourth and – so far – final post, Trump said his “proactive and nasty” approach had allowed the US to make “more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in eight years”.

We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years.Must be proactive & nasty! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017





Is he making a point about ISIS, the internet or his own travel ban? We’re not sure.

At this point, we have no idea who’s responsible for the attack in Parsons Green, so blaming ISIS may be a little premature.

We await the next instalment…
