President Trump on Tuesday condemned the terrorist attack in
Manchester, England, saying society must get rid of the “evil losers” who kill
innocent children.
“The terrorists and extremists, and those who give them aid and comfort,
must be driven out of our society forever,” said Mr.
Trump, speaking during a trip to the
Middle East that is largely aimed at combating terrorism. “This wicked ideology
must be obliterated.”
The president said the attack, believed to be carried out by a suicide
bomber, was especially heinous because it took the lives of many children and
teens attending a concert. The bombing killed at least 22, and injured 59
others.
“So many young, beautiful innocent people living and enjoying their lives
murdered by evil losers in life,” Mr.
Trump said. “I won’t call them ‘monsters’ because
they would like that term. They would think that’s a great name. I will call
them from now on losers, because that’s what they are.”
Mr.
Trump, who met with Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas earlier Tuesday in the West Bank, said the
purpose of his trip to the Middle East is ridding the world of such terrorist
attacks. Dave Boyer, Washington Times.
