We condemn the violent actions



No such thoughts and prayers for Austin bomber victims and no such Twitter condemnation of the bomber.  In fact, this was the only tweet about that:


And these were his remarks three weeks after the bombings began, and only in response to a direct question by a reporter during a meeting with the Saudi crown prince:



By March 20, when he made those few remarks, the authorities already knew who they were looking for, although they hadn't made that information public, and they caught him the next day.

(If you haven't seen this Fox News YouTube video, which is labeled "President Trump condemns Austin bombings" (which he didn't) check it out.  When someone asks a follow-up question whether this was a hate crime or terrorism, he starts talking about his phone call with Putin.)

He never made any statement of concern for the people of Austin, and he never condemned the bombers actions nor the people who supported him.

Let me guess....the French gunman was a Muslim.
The attacker, Radouane Lakdim, 26, a Moroccan-born French national, was a petty criminal already on the radar of French police for his links to radical Salafist networks, authorities said.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
