President Trump on Tuesday insisted that "evil losers" was the best way to describe those responsible for the bombing that killed some 22 people at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.
"I won’t call them monsters because they would like that term," Trump said in Jerusalem on Tuesday. "They would think that’s a great name. I will call them from now on losers, because that’s what they are. They’re losers. And we’ll have more of them. But they’re losers. Just remember that." The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack on the 21,000-seat Manchester Arena on Monday night.
Calling terrorists "losers" is an idea Trump has had before. Back in November 2015, the president tweeted, "The media must immediately stop calling ISIS leaders "MASTERMINDS." Call them instead thugs and losers. Young people must not go into ISIS!"
But calling people "losers" is a term Trump throws around rather liberally, and not just for terrorists. Here's a comprehensive list of other people and groups the president has considered a loser on Twitter (all before he took office):
