Theresa May didn't believe Trump's London Subway bombing tweets were helpful, complaining to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, "I don't think it's helpful for anyone to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation."

In an interview on Friday, Theresa May made the same type of comments when "El Presidente Cheeto" offered his usual unhelpful and self-serving thoughts.

@realDonaldTrump
Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

Did Trump unceremoniously leak classified British intelligence to promote his racist Muslim ban or was he just being a jerk?

ABC News and George Stephanopoulos traveled to the UK and sat down for an interview with the British PM.

Stephanopoulos asked, "Treating it as an act of terror right now. And President Trump was up and tweeting this morning. He said that those behind this were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Is that true?"

May replied, "Well, I don't think it's helpful for anyone to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation. The police and the security services are doing the work necessary to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly attack that's taken place, and to identify all those who are responsible."

She continued, "And we-- our threat level remains at severe and I'm pleased to say that our emergency services were on the scene of this attack immediately. And, once again, I admire and thank them for their professionalism and bravery."

In other words, STFU.
