Krs, the president rimmed into the mayor, he tweeted, pathetic excuse. He had to think fast on his no reason to be alarmed statement. That is the second nile two days that President Trump has mischaracterized the mayors comments that there is, quote, no reason to be alarmed. Khan wasnt talk about the terror attack.
