Given his track record of making statements based on no established facts at all (and sometimes that directly contradict the established facts) Occam's razor suggests its far more likely to be just a product of his pre-existing opinions. That you fail to take that into account suggests you are less-than objective.

Mainly, though, whether it's true or not, its just plain undignified and undiplomatic and downright unfriendly for him to tweet about things that are primarily the concern of an allied country.

I fail to see the problem with letting the police investigate and see what they turn up. (Odds certainly seem to be tilting in favour of it being an Islamist attack, but its still a law-and-order issue either way)

And people talk about Islam all the bloody time. It rivals only Brexit as a topic of discussion and conversation and media coverage.

The simplest hypothesis isn't relevant to whether or not one less simple is possible, and surely one shouldn't allow past observations into a particularized application. That would be unreliable, non-objective, to allow such externalities. It's meant to be something other than a statistical argument.

Do you think they would have released information about those arrested if they weren't muslim?

And it's usually only the apologists talking about Islam, or hysterical morons calling people who criticize a religion racist. Don't see a lot in the way of criticism of Islam anywhere on mainstream media.

Yes, it's entirely possible to say that Trump was actually briefed between his viewing of Fox & Friends & his tweet of 6:42 AM... even when the White House acknowledges that he was briefed only later.

Meanwhile, let's talk about the EEEeevils of Islam & how we should keep all of its practitioners out of White America, cuz Freedumb!

Gotta stick with the agenda.

Seems weak. He said himself he gets his information from "a number of sources," not just his daily briefings. It's like you aren't even trying anymore.

What sources do you suppose he might have used prior to 6:42 AM other than Fox & Friends? Is it reasonable for the POTUS to represent their speculation as fact?

Dunno. Whatsapp? Singing telegram? Hadn't hours passed between the event and 6:42 est?

It was only minutes until Trump reposted speculation by Fox & Friends as fact on twitter.

Or I could just speculate wildly, invoke a conspiracy theory about the masters of law enforcement & submission to Islam...

Well that's sure bulletproof logic, haha.

You should at least try to think before posting.
