US presidential hopeful Donald Trump challenged President Barack Obama on Sunday to acknowledge that the deadly Orlando shooting was an act of Islamic terrorism or resign.
A gunman attacked a gay night club in Orlando overnight, killing at least 50 people and injuring 53 more. US media reported that the attacker, Omar Saddiqui Mateen, was a US national of Afghan origin who had vowed loyalty to the Daesh terror group.
"Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!" Trump wrote on his official Twitter page.
In his address to the nation on the incident, which has become the deadliest mass shooting in the US history since the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, Obama described it as an "act of terror and an act of hate," but stopped short of making a connection to radical Islam, which has not been proven.
The Republican frontrunner has been widely criticized for his controversial statements on Islam. In December 2015, he proposed a ban for Muslims entering the United States, as well as an Islamic registration and control of certain mosques.
No other Republican candidate for President would have done this.
Gays would be safer after eight years of immigration-restrictionist Trump than after eight years of open-borders-advocate Hillary, who will continue to pour into our homeland, Islam, a foreign ideology that wants gays dead.
She got her green card from him and dumped him.
Great minds think alike.
How’s that for succinct !
Think about how stupid the people in our government have to be to employ known (to the FBI at least) ISIS supporters performing security related functions.
Kind of like the CIA hiring some guy in 1960 who shows up and wants to work on cryptography who has a thick Russian accent and when you ask him where he is from says "St. Petersburg, up north, uh, I mean St. Petersburg Florida..."
Everbody will be safer - even Muslim American citizens who won't have a bunch of crazy radicals from the countries their ancestors left showing up to make trouble.
You live on a hill?
Obama does need to step down. He is not protecting the US. How may radical Islamic attacks have we had under Obama?
Hussein’s the FIRST black (well, mulatto) President. As such, he’s had a phone & a pen to sign all those huge
checks. - Will someone please FLUSH after he & Michelle
leave? Flush ALL Hussein’s appointees!
Florida statutes prohibit open or concealed carry in such places, regardless of whether you have a CWP or not (unless you are providing security or policing).
They can tell that he is just a fool!
Confession: My life has been a series of setbacks and disappointments since seeing the Beatles in Concert in 1966.
I added post four to make post 3 clear who the fool is here.
Trump is not a fool.
Ipso Facto, posse commitas, ad nauseum, et c. et. c et. tu Brutus?
Allia Gaulia est diventia tres parte!
Not a real lawyer, but watched a lot of Perry Mason growing up.
OK, we are on the same side here, unless of course, you object!
Sorry for misconstruing your comments and for not reading further. My bad.
Obama will go down in history as the worst, most corrupt President of all time. As Trump said, he either doesn’t have a clue or knows exactly what he is doing - either way Obama is TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED to serve as President.
