Our President called the Mayor of London out… New York’s mayor took up for him. Who’s got it right?
Trump and Khan don’t think much of each other.
Khan wanted to ban Trump from London, and Trump is calling out Khan’s passive, defeatist attitude to Islamist attacks.
So, when London endured the SECOND attack in Trump’s short Presidency, Trump pointed out what Khan had said before.
Khan even wants Trump’s state visit cancelled over it.
The tweet most people are talking about…
At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Makes more sense in context of the ones before it…
Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there – WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

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

On the other side is de Blasio…
De Blasio, a liberal Democrat friendly with Khan, described himself “astounded” that Trump would misconstrue the words of a leader of a major foreign city—one doing an “extraordinary job supporting his people in a time of pain and reminding people to be strong and resilient.”
“That’s what Mayor Khan was saying, you will see—look at his words,” de Blasio said. “You will see more police presence, don’t be alarmed by that, recognize that’s part of how we’re protecting you. He was saying exactly what a leader should say and to have the president of the United States attack him was absolutely unacceptable and not helping anyone be safer.”
Who’s got it right?
