Nit twit: Brit PM slams Prez tweets

- Terence Cullen

BRITISH PRIME Minister Theresa May rebuked President Trump’s Twitter rant after a London terror attack that sent more than 20 people to the hospital Friday morning. Just hours after the attack, Trump tweeted the subway bombing was done by “another loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!” May said those comments were irresponsi­ble. “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigat­ion,” she told reporters. Trump also took the opportunit­y to push his proposed travel ban against several Muslim-majority nations, which has been tied up in court. “The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politicall­y correct!” Trump wrote in one of his four tweets about the terror attack. A Scotland Yard spokesman said Trump’s comments were “unhelpful.”
