Do You Think It's Odd That Trump Has Stayed Silent On The Quebec City Terrorist Attack?
He was (very rightly) quick off the mark with the Louvre attack, but seems reluctant to publicly condemn the other terrorist attack of last week.
This seems strange - especially for a man who seems to spend a shockingly large amount of time posting his thoughts on Twitter.

It's this simple Naomi - when an actress makes a veiled criticism of President Trump, his fingers are on he keyboard to Tweet so fast there is smoke rising - but when it comes to opinionating about a terror attack that does not conform with his rigid racist stereotyping, he remains oddly silent.
What is 'people' do or do not put out is not the issue - it is the fact that the President uses the common-or-garden gossip-fest that is TwitFace to spout his every waking thought when it suits him, and not when it doesn't.
That is the point that is being made, and your continued reluctance to accept this simply underlines the point even further.

Talbot - // He hasn't stayed silent ... On The Quebec City Terrorist Attack. //
Actually - he has.
His office haven't - but he has, and that is the important distinction that is being pointed out.

andy-hughes, your ‘so rule’ is as ridiculous as the oft-quoted Godwin’s Law.
Zacs-Master, if attempting to inject a little sanity into what has become an utterly ludicrous thread can be considered ‘protesting’, then yes, I am protesting.
The fact is Donald Trump called the Canadian Prime Minister personally to offer his condolences and he instructed his staff to issue a press release to the rest of the world along similar lines. The OP was wrong, The Independent report to which he linked was wrong, and the people here who are consistently claiming that Trump remained silent are also wrong. He didn’t. Jeepers, it's hard work on here at times!

Naomi – your post at 16:33 - //So you're all party to what's said between him and his staff and to what instructions he issues. //
No, I don’t think anyone has claimed to know what President Trump says to anyone, including his staff.
Well, no-one until you that is, at 19:20 - // … and he instructed his staff to issue a press release to the rest of the world along similar lines. //
So it’s not OK for anyone else to assume they know how President Trump briefs his team behind closed doors, but it’s fine when you do it.
As you also said at 16:33 - // What utter nonsense this really is! //
Now there, I would absolutely agree with you - but you have to hold your hands up on occasions like this, when the nonsense is yours.
