While he spent most of his day priding himself on being right about wanting a ban on Muslims, he did take some time out to attack the President. After President Obama addressed the nation, Mr. Trump went on Twitter and tweeted the following:
"Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorist? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!"Later that day, he reiterated his call on banning all Muslims from entering the country:
"What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough."Not once did Trump express his condolences to the victims and the families of those who were killed. Instead, he decided to use the mass shooting to further push his cowardly agenda.
Look, I know it's an election year, but this is the worst mass shooting in the history of America, and the worst terrorist attack since 9/11. Politics has no business being discussed during such sad times.
As far as his thoughts on Obama are concerned, President Obama, just like all of us, was concerned about the PEOPLE in Orlando. Yes, the shooter had indirect ties to ISIS. However, he was not a practicing Muslim, and he was born in this country. His attack was inspired by ISIS, but it was fueled by homophobia. He went in with the intent to kill members of the LGBT community. The mass shooting was a hate crime.
While I am not the biggest fan of President Obama, I think he did the best he could to help the victims and their families during this horrifying time. If he didn't use certain terminology to describe the attack, it is because nothing is known for sure. Investigators are still looking at all the facts, and we probably won't know everything for a while.
The reason why I think it is a hate crime is because he has a history of rage against the LGBT community, and he killed and wounded members of the LGBT community. That is a hate crime. Obama doesn't need to resign. He's doing his job.
Donald Trump is a very unhappy fellow and my wish is that he is NEVER elected into public office. As someone who is mourning, not only someone she knew from school, but the 49 others who were killed, I am sick to my stomach that Trump could be such a cold man.
Can Trump even NAME the victims of yesterday's mass shooting? Say their names, sir!
