Trump begins by extending his “deepest condolences” to those killed and hurt in the Manchester terror attack.
“We stand in absolute solidarity with the UK.”
He says terrorists are “evil losers.”

“I won’t call them monsters, because they would like that term. they would think that’s a great name. I will call them from now on losers, because that’s what they are, they’re losers. and we’ll have more of them, but they’re losers, just remember that.”
“This is what I’ve spent these last few days talking about during my trip overseas. our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of bloodshed. we cannot stand a moment longer for the slaughter of innocent people. and in today’s attack, it was mostly innocent children,” he adds. “The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society forever. this wicked ideology must be obliterated. and I mean, completely obliterated, and the innocent life must be protected. All innocent lives. Life must be protected.”
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
