Trump condemned the “evil losers” responsible for a suicide attack in Manchester, England.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday condemned the “evil losers” responsible for a suicide attack on concert-goers in England and called on Middle Eastern leaders in particular to help root out violence.
“The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society forever,” Trump said in Bethlehem during remarks made alongside Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas.
“This wicked ideology must be obliterated,” he declared.
The White House said Trump was updated on the attack in Manchester, England by his national security team in Israel. At least 22 people were killed by an apparent suicide bomber. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
“So many young, beautiful innocent people living and enjoying their lives, murdered by evil losers in life,” Trump said, echoing the theme he presented during his meetings with Arab leaders in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The White House said it was Trump’s idea to use the term “evil losers.”
Trump declared he would not call the terrorists “monsters,” a term he believes they would prefer, instead choosing “losers,” a longtime favorite Trump insult.
