Trump wasted little time before tweeting about foreign terrorists

driving a vehicle into crowds of people:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you!</p>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="

You see a Muslim used a vehicle to commit a terrorist act, so it is different because the Charlottesville vehicular terrorist attack was committed by a white person, so it is different.

They can't be white! Does anyone recall Trump saying anything about the Timothy McVeigh wannbe in Oklahoma?

He was arrested on Saturday, the same day that the other white terrorist ran down a group of people killing Heather Heyer!!!
