NBC News Throws Shade on President Trump's Terror Tweet: ‘Info is Unconfirmed'
 In light of the recent attacks in London, President Trump used the opportunity to a renew his calls for a travel ban,. He also retweeted a Drudge tweet that suggested that the fluid story was already a terror attack:{Image of Trump's tweet calling it a terrorist attack} In an unprecedented move, NBC News twitter feed followed up, with a uniquely dismissive comment: {Image of NBC tweet saying Trump's comments were unconfirmed} Trump came under criticism recently when he referenced an attack at a resort in the Phillipines as a terrorist attack before the specifics of that story were clear. Because it was so hard to figure out. While London authorities have now only recently claimed that they are treating this event as a terror attack, it’s rather stunning that the sitting president appeared to think it wise to retweet a Drudge Report tweet and not relay official information of which he has exclusive access. It's also stunning to think that a sitting president gets all his info from Drudge, and that he didn't get a briefing on the subject 45 minutes before he tweeted that the attack was terrorism.
