Donald Trump often tweets about terror and violence, but said nothing about an attack on Muslims in Quebec CityBy Adam Taylorat the Washington Post

Trump also appears to have never mentioned the 2015 Charleston church shooting on his Twitter account, and did not share a reaction when white supremacist Dylann Roof was found guilty of the murders of nine African American churchgoers in the attack.
The president has only been office for less than two weeks, and he may be finding that the transition period keeps him busier than he was last year. But since Sunday's attack, Trump has found time to tweet a number of times about an executive order that blocked access to the United States for Syrian refugees and a number of other Muslim-majority countries.
Meanwhile, members of Trump's camp have seemingly referred to the shooting in Quebec City as a justification for Trump's executive order. Spicer told reporters Monday that the attack was a "terrible reminder" of "why the president is taking steps to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to our nations safety and security. Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, was also found to have "liked" a tweet that suggested that if the Quebec City shooter was found to be a Muslim, it would give Trump's executive order "political capital."
The White House did not respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post.
