People have been contrasting Trump’s responses to the NY and Las Vegas attacks
People have been contrasting how Donald Trump reacted to the vehicle attack in New York that left eight people dead with last month’s gun massacre at a concert in Las Vegas.
Here’s what Trump tweeted after last night’s terrible events.
We must not allow ISIS to return, or enter, our country after defeating them in the Middle East and elsewhere. Enough!

I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program. Being politically correct is fine, but not for this!

He also tweeted this.
My thoughts, condolences and prayers to the victims and families of the New York City terrorist attack. God and your country are with you!

And here’s how people contrasted it with what he said after the killing of 59 people in Las Vegas in October.

When 600 people were shot in Las Vegas Oct. 1, Republicans said it was too soon to talk about policy solutions. Only thoughts and prayers. https://t.co/Wse50b1I8M

Again, a white man shot FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE in Las Vegas and Trump had NOTHING.
Zilch
No solutions.
No policies.
No ideas.
Nothing. https://t.co/8xzOUNfIcy— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) November 1, 2017

He’s very quick to respond to one kind of act of violence in particular. And it was in the USA. https://t.co/Bzn9rrFRmH

What Trump tweeted 5 hours after white man shot 600 Americans vs 90 minutes after Manhattan attack. Thoughts and prayers vs NOT IN THE USA. pic.twitter.com/JgRGAhqAoi
