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
Absolutely. It’s not the time right now. The country wants solutions. There is time for that speech on Hillary yet, and I’m sure he will give it in the future.
An accomplice, perhaps.
Your statement, in trying to picture how this happened, leaves a number of questions.
“Police (an off duty cop doing club security, and 2 others nearby) engaged him in a gun battle even before he got inside, at the front door, but he shot his way in and they didn’t follow him in.”
I’m sure that’s how it’s reported, but it would indicate either that he was being trailed or was assisted.
Why?
Leaves open all kinds of possibilities and questions, yes, but doesn’t necessarily indicate what you said.
Once someone engages a suspect in gunfire, you report it and follow the person in, if that person goes into a populated area. You do not disengage. That makes no sense.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Trump has predicted this day for the last year and he has once again be proven right. He WILL BE the new President. Clinton and Obama need to stick their heads in the sand for kissing the asses of radical terrorist for the last 7 and half years while American have been getting slaughtered wholesale.
Trump is gonna beat Shillary like a rented goalie.
..rented mule.
...rented car.
I hope he destroys her and her cabal, along with Obamao
Piss be upon them
I always suspected that he was since 2010.
I dont see hillary bumper stickers anywhere I go. I live in Connecticut. I see plenty of Sander’s stickers. I see a Trump bumper sticker perhaps once a week; I never see Hillary stickers. Her campaign and her numbers are fake.
I do not agree with your staement at ALL.
He should, and will, put the focus right smack on the cause of these attacks. That is the failure of this POTUS and his lackeys who will use this issue for political gains.
The blame is theirs to avoid, put it on them and let them explain.
MSNBC just had a gay-rights spokesman (with Brian Williams, no credibility problem there) who blamed guns and Christians and did not mention Islam.
Nothing against the LEO's on the scene, but what is the protocols that prevented them from going in? I didn't know about the bouncer, maybe hero could be a word to describe him.
I’m certain his staff does. No one measures the public pulse closer than that crew.
You’d better hurry or your 401k won’t buy enough “Jack” to give you a decent buzz!
That’s the first I heard of that - someone inside holding the doors closed thereby trapping people inside.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been talked about.
ABC News reporting “there is wide spread outrage” over Trump’s tweets saying his repeating congrats to himself for being right about the US going to experience an Islamic terrorist attack is despicable and uncaring. Others saying it shows his racism. Compares his tweets to the warm and compassinate tweet from Hillary.
Her campaign and numbers may be fake but the election fraud won’t be. Soros will get her into the White House any way he can.
Not only does our pResident's 'tone' seem more subdued today when speaking, the entire news broadcasts seem to have assorted agencies coming out speaking a bit more truthfully. There is nothing on which to base this other than what is heard and seen on Fox News (the only broadcast seen)
OP, thank you for the post as I've continued to miss Mr. Trump's statement on broadcast. Life continues and when shared by the network, not there actually in front of the screen. As this is the first time a crack has been seen in the belligerent demeanor of TPBT, it is assumed this is due to one of two reasons. BO'B is winding down his pResidency and Mr. Trump is in the spotlight speaking for the American Citizens. We've not had anyone speaking for us in over a decade. AMERICA thanks you, Mr. TRiUMPh!!
Prayers go out for the victims and families. Prayers also being said for our nation and her strength.
That’s a great statement, hitting all the right notes. Tomorrow, he needs to ask Paul Ryan which parts aren’t acceptable.
