Donald J. Trump Statement Regarding Tragic Terrorist Attack in Orlando, Florida [Monday Speech]
donaldjtrump.com ^ | 6/12/16 | Donald J Trump

Posted on 06/12/2016 1:58:23 PM PDT by patq

Last night, our nation was attacked by a radical Islamic terrorist. It was the worst terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11, and the second of its kind in 6 months. My deepest sympathy and support goes out to the victims, the wounded, and their families.

In his remarks today, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam'. For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency.

If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore.

The terrorist, Omar Mir Saddique Mateen, is the son of an immigrant from Afghanistan who openly published his support for the Afghanistani Taliban and even tried to run for President of Afghanistan. According to Pew, 99% of people in Afghanistan support oppressive Sharia Law.

We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year. Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States.

Hillary Clinton wants to dramatically increase admissions from the Middle East, bringing in many hundreds of thousands during a first term – and we will have no way to screen them, pay for them, or prevent the second generation from radicalizing.

We need to protect all Americans, of all backgrounds and all beliefs, from Radical Islamic Terrorism - which has no place in an open and tolerant society. Radical Islam advocates hate for women, gays, Jews, Christians and all Americans. I am going to be a President for all Americans, and I am going to protect and defend all Americans. We are going to make America safe again and great again for everyone.

- Donald J. Trump

I agree that Trump should hit her over this issue. It’s just not the right time to devote an entire speech to attacking her, when there are clearly more important larger issues to tackle that are relevant right now.

Trump can talk about Hillary in relation to terror and the Mideast. But the focus has to more more to national security.

The reality is that Mr. Trump was HANDED the WHITE HOUSE this weekend after what has happened in Orlando.

>>We need to protect all Americans <<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ALL AMERICANS. Exactly. Even the current, patriotic, Muslim citizens should realize that a Trump Presidency, halting Muslim immigration for the time being; starting to deal with those traitorous terrorists infesting certain Mosques today—ALL WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF AMERICAN LAW—protects them.

Americans are not going to turn over the country. The question is how the battle for America will be played out.

Trump wants it all to be done . . . LEGALLY.

Meanwhile, Obama blames gun owners and refuses to utter the words “Islamic Terror”. If Trump doesn’t win in a landslide, our country is doomed. I wonder if this will affect the NeverTrump morons?

We’ve been talking about this shooting today at Chez Boots.

At 2:00 am on a summer night in Florida, people do not notice a guy with a suicide vest and a supposed AK? A compact sub-auto like an Uzi would have been easier to hide.

What was happening at the back door to this place? Was it blocked off, making a kill box inside? The guy was likely dropped off by someone 1/2 to 1 block away, while the driver went around to the back entrance.

There are some things that are not adding up. More than one person had to have been involved.

I was so surprised, but I turned the channel over to Telemundo for a bit (since many of the victims were Puerto Ricans), and the reporter there read a Spanish translation of Trump’s complete statement—every single word. I really hope that Trump has won some converts from the Hispanic community today for his tough and common-sense stances on this issue.

I'm pretty sure we're not going to hear much of this published statement from the TV Media or the Times/Post.

It carries a razor's edge.

What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough @realDonaldTrump 4:47 PM - 12 Jun 2016

CNN is pushing the notion that the attack was anti-homosexual with no religious aspect to it. They covered some CAIR statements, where CAIR condemned the violence and said that it would be a mistake to politicize it.

National security is a political issue though, because one party (and a good part of the so-called opposition party) gives only lip service to security, while simultaneously advocating and carrying out immigration policy that is a security disaster.

The game that is being played is that if there is a hint of any motivation other than radical Islam, then the attack is not motivated by jihad.

Had one or two of the ‘good guys’ been armed in that place last night, this would have turned out very differently.

Situational awareness and rejection of the normalcy bias are absolutely essential.

It sure does. The mediots are like the Black Knight from Monty Python. Every time they swing a sword at Trump the lose another of their own legs.

Indeed, it would be a good time to remind folks that the armed law-abiding citizens of America are the true militia and our last line of defense against our enemies. It would also be a good time to note that this terrorist acquired his weapon legally, with a background check and how the hey is it that someone who's traveled to Afghanistan as a Taliban tourist and been investigated by the FBI more than once can pass a background check? It seems more and more that the elite's purpose is not to protect the people from those who would harm them, but rather to protect those who would and are harming the people. I wish I were a decent cartoonist. I would love to see a cartoon right now with the three monkeys (hear see speak no evil) joined with a fourth monkey with a turban, kalash & vest, captioned "if you see something, say something NOTHING."

Glad to say the world has a new leader.

And he is a real leader.

Vote Trump!

You know, if I was a real paranoid guy,

I’d say Obama and Hillary were acting this way to get Trump elected. Almost certainly clinching his victory.

However I know they are commies and believe exactly what they are saying, and I do not think they are as smart as they think they are,

so I don’t actually think this is occurring.

What liberals & the MSM don’t “get” is that THEY will be the
first to be beheaded IF Hussein gets his way about the
Muslim takeover of America. (Hussein may also not be quite
as secure from the Jihadists as he thinks he is.)

Trump can start measuring the drapes in the oval office after that.
