It seems like Donald Trump has been leaking confidential information about today’s London Underground bombing.
This morning an explosion ripped through Parsons Green station leaving passengers with facial burns and other injuries.
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed the incident is being treated as ‘terrorism’.

Not exactly the most responsible tweeter, Trump implied on the social media site the person who planted the explosive device was known to the police.
The tweet read:
Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

Scotland Yard has not yet released details of any suspects and have declined to comment on Trump’s tweet which has not been taken down.
A huge investigation has been launched after the bomb, which was a basic white container, was detonated on a busy train on the District line this morning.
Trump’s latest tweet has caused controversy, as it suggests the terrorists involved were known by Scotland Yard. Former Number 10 aide Nick Timothy condemned the tweet calling it ‘unhelpful’.
True or not – and I'm sure he doesn't know – this is so unhelpful from leader of our ally and intelligence partner. https://t.co/ZndrTXFrAX

Trump also added on Twitter:
The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!
We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years. Must be proactive & nasty!

Of course Trump provided no evidence to back up his tweet but what else could be expected.
