Despite the lack of official information about what had happened, far away to the west, at a rally in Colorado Springs, Trump said there had been a “bomb” in New York.

Moments after leaving his plane, according to pool reporters, Trump said: “I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York and nobody knows exactly what’s going on but, boy we are really in a time – we better get very tough, folks.

“We better get very tough. We’ll find out. It’s a terrible thing that’s going on in our world and in our country and we are going to get tough and smart and vigilant. We’ll see what it is. In any event, I am so thrilled to be in Colorado.”

"“I must tell you that just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York and nobody knows exactly what’s going on,” he said. “But boy, we are living in a time — we better get very tough, folks.”"

Trump is so wired to milk any incident, any imagination or any tragedy to his own advantage he just can't help making
a comment to do so. Then, of course, it's easy to move on. Attention still focused on gaining more advantage for him.

In his case it's all too often shit from the hip, and smothered in I'm the Greatest gravy.
