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

Hillary Tweet - “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.”

I do not agree with your staement at ALL.

Really? You believe that Trump should go forward with his original plan to devote his entire speech tomorrow to attacking Hillary on her past scandals, especially on the donations-for-favors issues dealt with in the book Clinton Cash? It seems to me going forward with that pre-prepared speech would seem coarse and insensitive to the victims and those concerned with the terrorist attack (or at least make Trump seem detached from what's going on in the world right now). That's why I said I think he needs to talk about terrorism instead. That is what is relevant right now.

If he goes ahead with his anti-Hillary/political corruption speech tomorrow, the press will hardly cover it among all the discussion of the terrorist attack. Right now Trump has the opportunity to elevate this issue to the top of the priorities list for the election. Once again I'm happy that it seems he's going to do that instead. He can still do his corrupt Hillary speech later when it will get more press coverage and seem more appropriate.

It’s hared to believe that anyone is that stupid. They have a complete lack of self preservation.

Unfortunately here in Florida it's illegal to carry in an establishment that makes most of its revenue from selling alcohol for consumption on premises (IOW bars). Restaurants are ok as long as you stay out of the bar area.

However car keys are perfectly fine. Get drunk and drive yourself home. Go figure.

“PLEASE someone say they feel very good about our chances in November.”

I was speaking with a friend from New Jersey today. She said her family, all Democrats, will be voting for Trump, and they know many others who are.

Personally, I think he posts on FR and has been a long time member.

Brainwashed and completely unaware. They actually believe conservative or Christian Americans are their enemy and Islam is their ally. Completely brain-washed by the left.

Great statement.

Glad he changed his topic for tomorrow. And Laz above is damn right. This is NO TIME to be disarming anyone. France’s strict gun laws didn’t prevent or help at Bataclan.

This if true would kill the media going with “he didn’t like seeing gays kissing” theme. It would be evidence of jihad.

I was hoping he would change the focus of the speech tomorrow. This isn’t the right time at all to make his big case against Hillary. He needs to focus on terrorism.

You're right... a few words about the tragedy... comments like the ones made above and a finish about protecting ALL Americans from Radical Islam. Trump hit the right tone... A strong political speech slamming Hillary would NOT be appropriate. There's time for that later...

I was wondering why so many of the nightclub's escapees being interviewed all day were Latinos....then one of the cable announcers said that the club's patrons were celebrating "Latino Night"..

Maybe this massacre might wake up some of the hispanic Klinton robots who automatically vote for any and all kumbaya kandidates with a (D.) behind their names.

I’ve noticed that every other/few tweets of Hildebeast’s are en español.

Maybe someone should start tweeting about the fact that this night club tragedy happened on Latino night....en español.

He will cover the terrorism along with the corruption and should tie them together. Her/Obamas corruption has given us this mess and they should be addressed.

Anti-Hilliary? Is there any other way to describe the speech? Or should it be called by another?

He did not believe in “radical islam” he believed and practiced islam as it is written. Until you can state islam is the problem not some tiny portion of it your are still part of the problem.
