Acting US Ambassador to the UK Lew Lukens broke with Trump and made a fool out of the President by praising the London mayor that Trump had criticized earlier in the day.

Lukens tweeted:
It is with a heavy heart I offer my condolences and support to the people of the United Kingdom. America grieves with you. – LLukens 1/3

The response from emergency services, law enforcement & officials in Ldn–as well as ordinary Londoners–has been extraordinary. – LLukens 2/3

I commend the strong leadership of the @MayorofLondon as he leads the city forward after this heinous attack. – LLukens 3/3 https://t.co/p4dDZuCpyO

What the Ambassador tweeted was the sort dignified statement of support that should have come from the President Of The United States.
Instead, we got this:
At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

Lukens showed the world that Donald Trump might be president, for now, but American values aren’t dead. Every time a civil servant does the right thing, it serves to remind America that a small minded fool is currently occupying the White House.
