There shouldn't be any terror attacks and the UK ought to be limiting immigration of Muslims and deporting Muslims who are threats to peace and safety.
You missed the entire point. There shouldn't be any increased police presence necessary. The increase in the number of police is not free, either, it costs lots of money. Why should the people of London waste money unnecessarily?
I guess today we learned that the mayor of London decides UK immigration policy. Is there a lab somewhere dedicated to inventing new forms of ignorance for conservatives to test out on this board?

What a horrible mayor to say that if this is true. How about "We will not let this happen again" They need a new Mayor.
I've come to realize that we're assuming Trump could maintain context from one sentence to the next. We may be guilty of suspecting malice where stupidity is so clearly present.
The Mayor of London should at this time be left alone to deal with the aftermath of a horrific attack in his city. A US President should at this time be showing support and not starting an infantile personal PR war. The POTUS should be acting better than that.

You've missed the point of the mayor's remarks. He's telling people that there will be increased police presence and not to be alarmed at that, we're taking care of it.
The other thing is that you don't seem to understand is the psychology of terrorism and the British, and Londoner psyche.
The point of terrorism is that it's a form of psychological battle. Terrorists by their very definition, are in a weak position. They aren't able to persuade others in a popular, peaceful way with their ideas, so they try to strike fear in a populace so that they'll change their habits and become more fearful. They're successful if they do that.
Londoners in particular have that "stiff upper lip" - we get thrown for a loop, we carry on. They might say, "Hitler didn't faze us 70 years ago with the Blitz. We can deal."
So that means that Trump, and many Americans, are too easily rattled. Or that Trump is trying to exploit this for his own cynical political purposes. Never mind that we Yanks seem to not pay that much attention to our 12,000 homicides by firearms each year but caterwaul endlessly about terrorism.
This president is not just a disgrace to America, he's a disgrace to civilized human beings.
Trump has nothing better to do than troll and harass a mayor of a major world city who is coping with a tragedy and loss of life? Seriously? Maybe because he is supposedly 'donating' his salary, Trump feels he does not have to do any real work.
There have been more deaths caused by gun violence in the US in the last couple of months than from terrorism in the UK for the entire year.
Should we be alarmed about it? Should another country's leader be harassing Trump about it?
How anyone at all can defend this so-called president is beyond me--I really cannot believe how low standards are for this guy. Please picture British PM Tony Blair harassing Giuliani after 9/11 for not reacting correctly. There are no words to describe how outraged Americans would be.
This is so wrong on so many levels, it is difficult to believe this guy is sitting in the Oval Office. Very difficult. Sorry--but he is behaving like an ignorant Class A jerk.
Neatly demonstrating that he has the attention span of an oyster.
The mayor's announcement was this: Calm, neat - we're increasing police, don't be alarmed about more uniforms on the street.
Trump, having the reading comprehension of a 6-year-old, takes "Don't be alarmed" out of context and decides that the best way the US can support an old stalwart ally is to attack the leader who's dealing with the crisis. It's an impulsive, stupid, disloyal and heartless comment. Neatly putting Trump's character on display.
yep. he really really needs to put down that phone or step away from whatever he is using to do all of his tweeting. it's not funny anymore. he can't control himself.
Time to open that ice skating rink in Hades, because we agree on something.
Are you ready to perhaps even place some blame on Trump?
Please.. in scientific or logical fashion explain how we should place blame.
Please... leave all stupidity at the door (I know, it may be hard).

1. The Koran supports everything the attackers are doing.
2. The Koran supports lying about such support.
Can we say "I am a stupid tea pot" for believing anything the mayor says?
Or, are you going to defend against what the terrorist did?
Please? Please defend against it so I can show all the teachings of Islam that supports it! PLEASE?

I am sorry, I do not see a specific reference of support to your accusation. I will wait until you provide proper support.
I lived 30 miles away from Ground Zero. I can remember Trump's friend Rudy, America's Mayor, urging every one to be CALM. Wrong? Want MILLIONS of people in a PANIC in the streets, whether in London or NYC? Order has to be maintained.
Only difference that I can see is that London's freely elected Mayor is a MUSLIM, unlike Rudolph Guiliani.
Good on Trump! We need someone to cut the bull crap instead of simply changing our facebook pics to a rainbow!
Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man.....
