Within hours of the anti-Muslim films going up, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman tried to distance Number 10 from Mr Trump’s posts, saying: “It is wrong for the President to have done this.”
That of course inspired this tweet from Trump:
And that in turn had the Prime Minister responding with this just today:.@Theresa_May, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 30, 2017
Speaking on a trip to Jordan, the PM replied to President Trump's public challenge made overnight on Twitter.
She told reporters: "The fact that we work together, does not mean that we're afraid to say when we think the United States have got it wrong.
"I am very clear that retweeting Britain First was the wrong thing to do."
Trump was also rebuked by the Netherlands Embassy which responded to yesterday's Islamophobic tweet storm with this:
In other words the perpetrator was NOT an immigrant, but simply a bully taking advantage of a weaker peer for the entertainment of his friends who were filming him..@realDonaldTrump Facts do matter. The perpetrator of the violent act in this video was born and raised in the Netherlands. He received and completed his sentence under Dutch law.— Netherlands Embassy 🇺🇸 (@NLintheUSA) November 29, 2017
Trump's actions from the last 48 hours or so have brought the conversation about his mental health front and center, with the ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal" even saying that people in the White House are "absolutely terrified" about what he might do next.
I guess those of us who have been occupying the "absolutely terrified" section of the bleachers are going to have to scoot over to make room for the late arrivals.
But not before we whisper under our breath, "It's about damn time!"
