President Trump reiterated his support for New Zealand following a deadly massacre at two mosques on Friday, condemning the “monstrous terrorist attack.”

“Earlier I spoke with Prime Minister Ardern of New Zealand to express the sorrow of our nation following the monstrous terrorist attacks in two mosques. These sacred places of worship were turned into scenes of evil killing. We’ve all been seeing what went on, it’s a horrible, horrible thing. I told the prime minister the U.S. is with them all the way, 100 percent.”

At least 49 people were murdered and many more were injured on Friday when a gunman opened fire at two mosques.

  2. The clock is ticking, now. He’s been convinced/forced to do the adult thing, even though he didn’t want to. The most powerful man in the world, the man who commands armies, got told what to do. And he did it, like a beta. He’ll need to show them who’s boss. He’ll need to reassert himself. He’ll need to bothsides.

  3. Well, at least he called it terrorism but followed it with the evil brown people invading our country must be kept out -crime something something. Who thought that this “signing the veto” ceremony should go on in the wake of the white supremacist terrorist attack in NZ? Trump failed on this big time.

  4. Just how many days is it until the next Presidential election?

  5. Yes, he condemned the (white supremacist) terrorist attack with all the enthusiasm of Lindsey Graham watching straight porn.
