In wake of attacks, Trump might go to U.K. to remind them he won the electoral college



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/despicable-am-joy-guest-says-trump-may-rush-to-london-after-ignoring-portland-domestic-terrorist-attack/

Appearing on MSNBC’s AM Joy, commentator Dean Obeidallah went off on Donald Trump after it was reported that the president was considering a trip to London to show solidarity following Saturday night’s terrorist attacks.

Speaking with Joy Reid, Obeidallah — who is a Muslim — agreed with the MSNBC host that Trump’s attacks on Muslims creates a “petri dish to grow more for militants.”

Obeidallah then addressed rumors Trump wants to go to London next week.

“I think it is remarkable that Donald Trump might go to the U.K.,” the commentator explained. “He didn’t go to Portland when two were killed by white supremacists. He didn’t come to New York in March when a white supremacist from Baltimore traveled to kill an African-American man. He didn’t visit Muslims around this country where they had their mosques burned down. And other minority communities — Jewish, and Latinos have suffered hate crimes since he was elected.”

It is my understanding that it is impossible for Republicans to win the electoral college due to the rigged voting system. Nine on you Crazy Diamond.

That's how much of a help Donny would be, getting in everyone's face and spouting off about how nobody thought there was a path to 270 electoral college votes.

... and stump for Theresa May. There's an election Thursday.

While he's there, he could be kidnapped and sent to an actual college.

* Insert sarcasm tag... no Orange Men are going to be kidnapped.

They don't need him there. They don't want him there. He has no business going there.

He can insult London's Mayor from here.

If that asswipe wants to go there and gloat about his stand on terrorism and muslim bans, and if he is not wanted - no police or whatever equivalent of our secret service they have in Britain should be offered. They have their own security issues to deal with and citizens to provide safety to, not that dumbass.

If that bloated orange blob thinks he's not totally safe and secure, he won't go.

Against the Felon in Chief.

The Brits know a terrorist when they see one.
