Donald Trump Jr. joins father in bashing London mayor
For anyone who actually listened to the London Mayor's comments after the recent terrorist attacks, it was obvious that he wasn't saying that there wasn't anything to be alarmed about regarding terrorism in general or even terrorism in London or England.
Any reasonably intelligent individual can easily see that he was saying that there was no reason to be alarmed by the increased police presence including armed officers and uniformed officers.
Here was his actual statement:
“My message to Londoners and visitors to our great city is to be calm and vigilant today. You will see an increased police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed officers. There is no reason to be alarmed by this. We are the safest global city in the world. You saw last night as a consequence of our planning, our preparation, the rehearsals that take place, the swift response from the emergency services tackling the terrorists and also helping the injured.”
Trump, per his usual dishonest method, lied, incorrectly stating that the London Mayor claimed there was nothing to be alarmed about regarding the terrorist attack itself and the "7 dead and 48 wounded" therein.
Trump's Tweet:
“At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack, and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’”
Donald Trump Jr. expanded on the lie saying this:
“Rather than the mayor of London attacking maybe he should do something about it,” Donald Trump Jr. said in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “Maybe he should do something to fix the problem rather than just sit there and pretend there isn't one. I think that's an important message.”
And then to top off, he made a claim that is 100% false:
“Every time he puts something out there he gets criticized by the media all day every day by everyone else and guess what? Two weeks later he's proven to be right,” the president’s son said. “It happened again and we keep appeasing it and keep saying, ‘okay, it's going to be great. We're going to hold fast and we're going to keep calm and carry on.’ Maybe we have to keep calm and actually do something. And I think that's what he's trying to say because he's been proven right every time.”
Not one of Trump's claims have been found to be true thus far. Here are a few examples:
1. Obama illegally ordered Trump Towers to be wiretapped (no evidence that any illegal order was given to surveille Trump Towers).
2. 5 million people voted illegally for Hillary Clinton (no evidence of this kind of monumentally widespread voter fraud all in favor of Clinton).
3. "The NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence electoral process (they said nothing of the sort)."
So, like father like son, Donald Trump Jr. seems to be living in an alternate reality where Trump's dishonest claims have been vindicated. Where is he getting this stuff from?
