Trump: 'Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism'
Politico ^ | 12 Jun 2016 | Nolan D. McCaskill

Posted on 06/12/2016 11:20:42 AM PDT by mandaladon

Donald Trump took credit for “being right on radical Islamic terrorism” in the wake of the worst mass shooting in American history Sunday.

The suspect in the attack, reportedly a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent named Omar Saddiqui Mateen, killed 50 people and injured another 53 during a rampage through a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He died in a gunfight with SWAT officers after initially firing shots into the club and later taking hostages.

“Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee tweeted, though officials have yet to publicly confirm any ties to terrorism.

Trump has repeatedly credited his statements linking terrorism to Islam for his high poll numbers.

“This is what I’ve been saying for a long time, and I guess it’s at least a small part of the reason why I’m the No. 1 front-runner,” he said in March after the terrorist attacks in Brussels. “I mean, people are very concerned about this, and they’re very concerned about the security of this country.”.................Obama still can't bring himself to say Radical Islamic terrorism !

Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn’t he should immediately resign in disgrace!

Democrats have blood on their hands. And there will be more innocent blood shed because of democrat policies.

Sorry to the Nevertrumpers that the battle has gotten ugly. I know you wanted to win or lose while being nice.

But you nevertrumpers are playing into the hands of those who would allow us to be killed on our streets and in public places. You are complicit with democrats.

With all due respect, Mr. Trump, it is not “radical islamic terrorism”.

It is simply islamic terrorism.

To use the word “radical” is to give islam cover.

islam is the enemy mortal of everything that is not islam, so we do not need to be giving cover to your mortal enemy.

If America cannot face the truth, then America will cease to exist.

.
I still doubt that Trump will change the muzzie situation in our country even if elected.
Muslim fawning and ass-kissing is too ingrained in our society.

It will take something bigger before we can finally get to the real core of this, ie Islam itself.

He wants to block any coming here. I say good! Ryan and the rest of the yokels say no.

It will take a huge attack, or one of our monuments, or innocent kids. The kind Israel deals with before we realize that they don’t belong here.

These people are not peaceful. Muhammed Ali was duped.

Funny, never...never do we see a Christian doing this, or a Jew, or a Hindu or Buddhist. Only these bastar*s.

This is just the start... this is just the start of it.

I won’t disagree.

Terrorism is simply the product of islam.

Simply look around the world.

That’s what it does. That’s all it does.

We need Trump’s Muslim ban now more than ever. I really hope it was more than just a “suggestion”

Yet to confirm terrorism? Does the press think we ate all stupid? I am pretty sure some guy killing 50 people is screwed up.

I saw a gentleman on Fax News a little while ago who gave an excellent analogy (I’m paraphrasing, but this is pretty close): In medicine, a patient who suffers from a serious illness will never receive effective treatment for their condition if they are misdiagnosed with a different disease, or if the doctor simply refuses to acknowledge what the disease is. By the same token, we will never defeat radical Islamic terrorism if the president refuses to acknowledge its existence, or chooses to place the blame elsewhere (availability of guns) as the cause of the problem.
