Trump’s negative Tweets about the London attack do not represent us

Sending love and strength

Yesterday, seven people died and 48 were injured when three masked men drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before leaping out and stabbing people in nearby bars and restaurants.

This comes a week after a suicide bombing was carried out at Manchester Arena, following a concert by Ariana Grande.

This morning, Trump took to Twitter to attack the Muslim Mayor of London

It was both inappropriate and unwarranted.

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

At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

Here are just a sampling of Tweets that would have been more appropriate

london you have my prayers and heart, remember only the weak are cruel, stay strong and united ??❤️

London, our current President does not speak for Amercans on this. As an American, my heart breaks for you. Sending prayers.

Sending all my love and hope to London. Can’t put into words today how I feel about this world so I’ll just leave it at that. #londonbridge

Sadly, it comes as no surprise this is how Trump has chosen to respond, but in the wake of such tragedy, you put whatever absurd political biases you’re harboring aside, and send love and strength to the people affected.

Trump’s comments do not reflect ours.

I don't remember the mayor of Manchester getting as much criticism as the mayor of London is. Don't really need to ask why though do I?

An Asian guy took an ancestry DNA test only to be told that he’s ‘100% Asian’

Surprise! You’re Asian!

by Nian Hu

Pretty much everyone I know has taken one of those ancestry DNA tests. And yeah, they're expensive but I can definitely see the appeal. The level of detail in the breakdowns — 56 percent Irish, 20 percent Balkan, 12 percent Iberian — isn't something you could get from a conversation with your grandma. And it's…
