tehDonald proved completely wrong on the radical Islamic terrorism meme as we now have better background on the Orlando killer’s homophobic psychopathy.
Trump’s blather about thousands of muslim terrorists coming into the country rings even more hollow as the killer’s father seems to have similar presidential delusions except as Afghanistan’s leader. Perhaps after November, Trump can be given the ambassadorship to the Durand Line.
In Orlando, the Los Angeles Times reported that Mateen attended the Pulse nightclub possibly as many as a dozen times before the rampage. Kevin West said he had messaged Mateen back and forth over a year’s time on the gay dating app Jack’d but never met him until he saw Mateen crossing the street about 1 a.m. Sunday.
More telling is how tRump has shown how thin his thin-skinned campaign has been stretched in terms of giving voters his presidential verneer.
Donald Trump’s behavior in the aftermath of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history has erased all doubts, if there were any left, that he is determined to leave all the norms of American politics in the dust.
The country had barely woken up to the news from Orlando Sunday, and other leaders were confining their comments to condolences, when Trump took a bow on Twitter for “being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”
An hour later, the presumptive Republican nominee tweeted that President Obama should “resign in disgrace” if he is unwilling to label the carnage “radical Islamic terrorism.”
By Monday morning, Trump was on Fox News, appearing to question the commander-in-chief’s loyalties, saying Obama “is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind.”
