TRUMP ON LONDON – AT 1:50 P.M. ET:   The president has spoken in response to the latest London attacks, and the usual suspects are out in force criticizing his common sense.  From Fox: 

President Trump on Sunday responded to the London terror attack, suggesting political correctness and the London mayor’s soft response are contributing to strikes by radical Islamic terrorists.

Seven people were killed and dozens of others were injured in the two Saturday night attacks on and near the London Bridge. Police are investigating the incidents as terror attacks, but no terror group has yet to claim responsibility.

"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,” Trump tweeted first.

The president has from the start of his successful 2016 presidential campaign argued that the key to stopping global terror strikes is to address radical Islamic teachings and being more vigilant about allowing people into the United States from mostly-Muslim countries that are hotbeds for terror training.

"At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!” Trump also tweeted.

COMMENT:  That last comment really set off the Trump haters.  How dare the president criticize the Muslim mayor of London!  Is there no end to Trump's disrespect for diversity?

The fact is that the mayor of London has shown precious little urgency about terrorism, even commenting that it is part of urban life. 

The president went on to tweet that there is no gun debate over the London attacks because knives were used.  He was greeted with pundisteria, a journalistic form of madness, for suggesting that guns not be condemned.  Isn't condemning firearms what the good people do?

Read the president's tweets.  They're just fine.
