CNN’s Stelter: Is Trump Trying to Perpetuate Fear of Terrorism with His Tweets?

‘President Trump has been commenting on the London terrorist attack via Twitter’

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Here in the United States, President Trump has been commenting on the London terrorist attack via Twitter. One of his posts in the past few hours said, quote, 'We must stop being politically incorrect and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart, it will only get worse.' Now, that was in the 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time hour. It may or may not be a coincidence that two guests on the President’s favorite morning show, 'Fox & Friends,' both brought up the scourge of political correctness in the 6:00 a.m. hour. Here now with more on the President’s reaction and other reactions, CNN political analyst Carl Bernstein, and 'Baltimore Sun' media critic, David Zurawik. Carl, first to you. Do you feel the President is trying to perpetuate fear of terrorism by tweeting the way he has today?”
