Here is a strong statement by our President on the terrorist attack.

"At some point countries will have to open their eyes & see what is really going on. This kind of sickness & hatred is not compatible with a loving, peaceful, & successful country! Changes to our thought process on terror must be made," Trump tweeted.

Oh wait, I got confused. Trump tweeted that comment after an ISIS supporter stabbed some people in Paris a while back. His administration also issued this statement at the time:

"The United States strongly condemns yesterday’s terrorist attack in Paris. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with the French people and their government against this vicious act of terrorism, and pledge any assistance needed. Acts like this only strengthen the resolve of the global coalition to defeat ISIS and drive it out of existence," said the statement from White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

In THAT attack (that killed one and wounded four) the victims weren't Muslims. See, that's a lot different than a White Nationalist slaughtering 49 Muslims and wounding about 50 others. Why would Trump see any need to drive white supremacists out of existence?
