Donald Trump on Monday suggested that President Obama sympathized with radical Islamist terrorists, and that explained his supposed refusal to take decisive action to thwart their attacks.An article , well worth your time.
“Look, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind, and the something else in mind — you know, people can’t believe it,” Trump said on Fox News, a day after an ISIS-inspired madman murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others at a gay club in Orlando, Fla.
“People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on,” Trump said.
“He doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other,” he added.
Trump had tweeted the day before that Obama should resign for not using the words radical Islamic terrorism in his initial statement about the atrocity at the Pulse nightclub.
In remarks Monday morning, the president used the words “perversions of Islam” in describing radical groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS — but also renewed his call for tougher gun control, a position Trump mocked.
“I mean, this man has no clue. First of all, the shooter was licensed. So he went through all the procedures, he was fully licensed to have a gun. So he would have passed the test that the president would have thrown up there. It’s so ridiculous,” he said, renewing his criticism of the country’s immigration policies and willingness to accept refugees from the war-torn Middle East.
