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.
Trump is the leader of the free world right now. Can’t wait until it becomes official and he commands the military and DHS.
Trump—He right on dis one. Obama did a weak speech.
Works for me as well!
Yes!
and HELL YES!
No prob ;)
If one (one) person at that nightclub had carried a concealed weapon, most of the injuries and murders by the islamic terrorist likely could have been prevented!
(The nightclub apparently is a "gun free zone" aka soft target).
Been listening to NPR wall-to-wall coverage.
They are still going out of their way to call this an Islamic terrorist act, even though they just aired the Florida press conference featuring the FBI agent in charge confirm:
1. The FBI had shooter Omar on their special interest list twice due to his pledging alliance and having contact with ISIS agents.
2. The FBI confirmed Omar called 911 from the scene and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
They just got done interviewing the only Gay Imam in America as a way to “bridge the gaps in our communities”.
WTF does it take for insane liberals to recognize an existential threat?!
Yes, Mr. Trump’s challenge to Obola is completely appropriate. Especially since jug ears is deliberately fast-tracking over 100 Muslim Syrian “refugees” into America EACH Day.
“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.”
When the killer stops in the midst of his slaughter, dials up 911, and pledges allegiance to ISIS, that pretty much seals the deal.”
The American people should remove him.
Works for me too...and it won’t be soon enough if it happened right now!!
This is a religious war and I say get it on.
we already got a response from the “LIE”berals
the response is “OMG what’s wrong with Trump turning a national tragedy into a political opportunity...”
time to deal with those morons.
“Been listening to NPR wall-to-wall coverage.

Butcher of Benghazi gets funding for her campaign from the Islamic Terror groups...that’s who put this Representative of the Muslim Brotherhood into Our White House...
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
For instance, which of his people groups does he rally around?. Does he attend the funeral of the shooter or the victims?
Does he accuse the cops of acting stupidly?
Does he go golfing before flying off to Palm Sprinsg for a fundraiser or wait till he gets there?
Does he blame an amateurishly produced parody videos of mohamet the bass turd viewed recently?
I feel for the guy. It ain't easy being Preezy.
Yep.
Obama has proven, once again, that he is not up to the job.
How many rounds of golf has Obama played since he became President.
He shirks his responsibilities and blames others.
What does big mouth Plouffe have to say today?
HOORAY Trump!
Donald J. Trump for President of The United States of America.
