British Prime Minister Theresa May rebuked Trump for engaging in Twitter speculation after a subway attack injured 23 people in London.
Trump tweeted:
In response to his tweet, May said, “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation.”
May’s former chief of staff was even more direct:
One of America’s oldest and truest allies would appreciate it if Donald Trump would keep his opinions to himself.
With each half-baked tweet that comes out of his phone, Donald Trump chips away at the credibility of the presidency as an institution. A president doesn’t take to Twitter to engage in a stream of thought speculation after a terrorist attack. This is not how a US president is supposed to behave.
Part of the problem is that Trump lacks the basic impulse control not to tweet. The other issue is that the White House is full of enablers, including chief of staff John Kelly, who simply won’t stand up to Trump, take his phone away, and tell him to stop tweeting.
Trump was born rich and has had his bad behavior enabled for his entire life.
Now that he is president, his behavior has the power to injure relationships and cause damage around the world.
Trump is destroying the presidency and the credibility of the United States one tweet at a time.
