President Trump sent out his best wishes and offers of support to the people of Great Britain, who are dealing with yet another terrorist attack on their soil.
Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there – WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

He also took the chance to call, once again, for a travel ban here in the U.S.
We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

Earlier in the evening, when the news from London was just breaking, he retweeted an early report from Drudge, which prompted an unusual reaction from NBC News. Here’s what Trump retweeted:

And here’s NBC News’ response:
Pres. Trump has used Twitter to share news report on London incident.
We aren't relaying president's retweet, as the info is unconfirmed.

NBC News is now being simultaneously lauded and mocked for their reaction.
