A terrorist was shot and injured near one of the most iconic locations in France on Friday and President Donald Trump promptly responded on social media.
The machete-wielding man reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” was shot five times by a French soldier near the Louvre museum before he was able to enter a museum’s shopping mall, Reuters reported.
“It was an attack by a person … who represented a direct threat and whose actions suggested a terrorist context,” Paris police spokesman Michel Cadot told reporters.

The president used the attack to tell America to “get smart.”

Many on social media seethe attack as an example of why the president instituted a travel ban from seven majority Muslim nations.

President Trump should issue a travel ban to countries that harbor Islamic terrorists. This would include France.
