Earlier today, a suspected terrorist attempted to attack a French soldier with a machete near Le Louvre art gallery in the capital Paris.

Details remain thin on the ground, but the head of Paris police confirmed that they "are dealing with an attack from an individual who was clearly aggressive and represented a direct threat, and whose comments lead us to believe that he wished to carry out a terrorist incident.”

The attacker was shot five times and was shouting “Allahu akbar,” Mr Cadot added.

Responding to news of the incident, Donald Trump tweeted:

A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.

Mr Trump's speed at condemning the attack comes at no surprise of course. He is famed for his reactionary tweeting style.

However, what is interesting is his selectiveness of which incidents he reacts to in a public forum.

Earlier this week, the residents of Quebec were left in mourning after a shooting at a city mosque left six dead.

The man charged in connection with the terrorist attack is French Canadian student Alexandre Bissonnette , who was a fan for Donald Trump and far-right nationalist politician Marine Le Pen.

Along with the six people killed, five were left in a critical condition and 12 others suffered minor injuries.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it a “terrorist attack on Muslims”.

So far, Donald Trump is yet to tweet anything to his many followers about the attack against the mosque in Quebec.
