After the attack, President Trump tweeted this:

Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017

“Loser”? Uh oh:

18 people have been hospitalized after an explosion on the London Tube.

The president's response is to call the attacker a loser. https://t.co/0HAPqzIcaS

Imagine the reaction if Trump hadn’t tweeted about it at all.

All terrorists are losers. Not all losers are terrorists. Don't take it personally. https://t.co/ceOWJWMbk5

Would you prefer him to call the terrorist a winner or… ??‍♂️ #askingforafriend

It was already declared a terrorist incident…it wasn't just a fire, this sentence is misleading as fuck. https://t.co/AsezG5zXA4

AP keen to classify the latest in London's capitulation to terrorism as nothing more than a 'fire at a London subway station' #parsonsgreen https://t.co/1Oe9qMkibX
