The President of the United States of America was having a very active morning on Twitter, Friday.

After again calling for the end of the filibuster, suggesting new Internet controls, and condemning terrorism in London, Trump also took a moment to blast the sports network ESPN and demand an apology from the network after one of their anchors called him a “white supremacist.”

On September 11, ESPN’s Jemele Hill called Trump a white supremacist on Twitter. While she had her defenders, the controversy reached the White House, when Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the comments a “fireable offense.” Trump’s tweet shows the matter has reached the Oval Office and will now be enshrined as a part of official United States history.

… Great.

President Trump Blasts ‘Loser Terrorists,’ Promotes Travel Ban After IED Attack in London

by Ken Meyer | 7:32 am, September 15th, 2017

President Trump has tweeted about how “loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner” in light of the terror attack that just took place in London. Trump also used the opportunity to tout his proposed travel ban, possibly revealed information about Scotland Yard’s anti-terror operations, and he also talk about how his progress against radical Islamic extremism is way better than Barack Obama‘s past efforts.

The incident took place in southwest London earlier today, where an improvised explosive device went off at Parsons Green Tube station. Even though the device caught fire and ignited, reports indicate that the bomb failed to actually detonate.

At least eighteen people were hospitalized by the rush hour attack, but early reports indicate that none of the injured are critically wounded. British police have occupied the area and multiple law enforcement agencies have launched an investigation into the situation.
