What a wild, tragic weekend it has been.
On Saturday, two U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in an ambush attack by ISIS in Syria.
Then, that evening, a gunman attacked Brown University, killing at least two students and injuring nine others.
Finally, this morning, another mass shooting took place in Australia, when an Islamic terrorist opened fire on a Jewish gathering.
President Trump just responded to all of these recent acts of violence in a speech at the White House.
Watch his remarks here:
Backup here if needed:
BREAKING – PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I want to pay my respects to the people no longer with us. Brown University, 9 injured, 2 are looking down on us from Heaven.”
“Australia…an antisemitic attack.”
“Syria also. We had an attack in Syria. 3 patriots terminated.”
“Rough day.”… pic.twitter.com/TO1rf3wlZK

NEW: President Trump praises the man who stepped in and took down the Islamic terrorist in Australia.
“In Australia, you probably read, a very brave person who went and attacked frontally one of the shooters and saved a lot of lives. So, very brave person who’s right now in the hospital, pretty seriously wounded. Great respect to that man.
In the wake of the Australia shooting, President Trump also delivered a message to Jews in America.
Fox News shared:
President Donald Trump said American Jews celebrating Hanukkah should not be worried about their safety following the Bondi Beach attack.
“Celebrate proudly – be proud of who you are,” Trump said to Fox News on Sunday.
The president’s comments come after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the mass shooting at a “Hanukkah by the Sea” celebration at Bondi Beach as a “targeted attack on Jewish Australians.”
“An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian and every Australian tonight will be, like me, devastated on this attack on our way of life,” said Albanese at a press conference. “There is no place for this hate, violence and terrorism in our nation. Let me be clear. We will eradicate it.”
Police said at least 11 people were killed and dozens more were injured.
At least two out of three of these attacks were the result of Islamic terror.
It’s very possible that the attack at Brown University was also carried out by an Islamic extremist, with some reporters claiming the shooter yelled “Allahu Akbar” before the shooting.

Muslim terrorist attack in DC killed 1 US soldier and severely wounded another.
Muslim terrorist attack in Syria killed 2 US soldiers and a civilian interpreter.
Likely Muslim terrorist attack at Brown University killing at least 2 students.
Muslim terrorist attack in Australia that killed 11.
All in the past 2 weeks.
All after President Trump declared the Muslim Brotherhood was a foreign terrorist organization.
I don’t believe these are coincidences.
These seem like a violent response.
Please pray for all of the victims of these violent attack as well as their loved ones.
Terrible times.
