“When you have a special relationship it is no different from when you have got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity but you call them out when they are wrong. There are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.”And just to think we used to elect mayors to fill in potholes and take out the garbage. Trump criticized Khan for his comments following the weekend terror attack in London that killed at least seven people and wounded dozens more. (The Hill)
"At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'" Trump tweeted Sunday morning. “Trump appeared to be referencing Khan’s comments earlier in the day in which he said there was no reason to worry about the increased police presence in London. Khan’s spokesperson said Sunday that he wouldn’t respond to Trump’s tweet, saying he had “more important things to do.”
“Khan has previously called for Trump to be denied a state visit in Britain. He pointed to Trump’s executive order barring refugees and people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. as his reason, calling the order “cruel.” “In those circumstances, we shouldn't be rolling out the red carpet," he said.Khan’s objections to Trump mirrors the objections of many Western leaders—Trump is decisive, openly stating that “the media doesn’t understand that the American people are sick of platitudes, political correctness, and empty words… We want ACTION. “That’s why President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions are FIGHTING for the Travel Ban all the way to the Supreme Court.”
“They exploit our toleration of their extremism. And then only after dozens and dozens of these attacks not only on hard targets but increasingly soft targets, you have clueless people who are just completely taken over by dhimmitude like Theresa May finally acknowledging that, gee, maybe we've accepted too much extremism within our borders. Ya think?!”Tolerance of Islamist terrorism is not only tolerance gone too far but tolerance gone over the top. Politicians in elected office, including many Western leaders, whose salaries are paid for from the public purse, do diddly squat to protect their people from Islamist terrorism. Most continue to duck under the cover of useless lip service in the wake of each attack: “Our thoughts and prayers are with you”.
