Some critics say Trump’s ‘selective silence is deafening’
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday continued an apparent pattern of selectively commenting on hate crimes and terrorist attacks, leading White House critics to accuse him of failing to personally condemn violence carried out by non-Muslims.
Nearly 14 hours after a driver plowed through Muslim worshippers outside of a London mosque, killing at least one, Trump’s usually noisy personal Twitter account was uncharacteristically silent. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in an off-camera press briefing that the administration’s “thoughts and prayers” were with those affected, but Trump personally had not weighed in using any format.
Trump, as president, has repeatedly promised to heal cross-racial divisions, but his slow reaction to violence against minorities or hate-related violence not perpetrated by Muslims is drawing scorn.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

His lack of tweets in condemning the Mosque tragedy is telling,
However that is NOT the only thing that he did not tweet about. In addidtion nothing was tweeted about several important issues: seven US sailors killed after their ship's collision with a merchant vessel off Japan's Izu Peninsula, another seven service members wounded in Afghanistan, as well as news of a US Navy jet's downing of a Syrian warplane.
Guess he did not consider any of them noteworthy (sarcasm).

He doesn't do these things because he 's not a diplomat.
We have a reality show jackass running the country.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! How are you going to spread fear of the 'other' if members of the population you claim to represent do the same stuff you condemn others of doing?
