What Donald Trump understands about the Orlando terror attack (and Obama doesn't)
Fox News ^ | June 13, 2016 | Christian Whiton

Before the blood was dry from ISIS-sympathizer Omar Mateen’s massacre of patrons at an Orlando gay club, anti-gun liberals were busy trying to obscure the real culprit. Despite withering ridicule from the politically correct elite, Donald Trump stood firm in his convictions to act decisively against radical Islam—perhaps his greatest qualification to be president.

Mateen was an Islamist sympathizer who took time before his attack to call 911 and profess his allegiance to ISIS. He yelled the now-familiar jihadist cry of “Allahu Akbar” during the rampage that killed fifty-one and wounded as many more. He had been interviewed twice by the FBI for possible ties to terrorists, including to the first American suicide bomber in Syria. And of course he targeted gays, who in Islamist incubators like Iran and the Islamic State are summarily executed.

Liberals instinctively seized an opportunity to indulge political correctness. For some reason, Hillary Clinton issued a statement and tweeted in Spanish, and added, “We need to keep guns like the ones used last night out of the hands of terrorists or other violent criminals.”(continued)

Obama is a fellow traveler, a moslem and a sympathizer. Why won’t people just accept this and move on.

I hate to be one to pick at a headline, but I fear that Obama and Trump both perfectly understand what happened, and just chose different sides.

I was just reading the killer frequented this gay club a lot of times, was seen dancing with men and had an app to pick up guys and that he was a Democrat.

So in summary:

1. He’s gay

2. He’s a Democrat

...and Democrats are blaming Republicans.

I've said it before, Trump will do well as long as he doesn't apologize for telling the truth.
