Trump Quotes London Mayor Out of Context

Another case where Trump takes text out of context and twists words to create lie

Comedian George Takei said: ‘He said there was no reason to be alarmed by the increased police presence over the next few days, you hare-brained miscreant. Sit down.'[1]

Other celebrities were not as kind.

The Daily Mail, “British and American celebrities are expressing their outrage at President Donald Trump’s criticism of London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter just hours after a terror attack in the city left seven dead and 48 injured Saturday night.
The President tweeted to criticize Khan for telling residents of London that there is ‘no reason to be alarmed’ after three terrorists ran over a crowd of people and stabbed several others before being shot dead.

But he seemed to miss that Khan was referring to an increased police presence in the British capital when he said there was ‘no reason to be alarmed’.

The Mayor had earlier condemned the attacks as ‘barbaric’ and ‘cowardly’.[1]
