Trump: Orlando massacre proof of need for Muslim ban
Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has expanded on his comments about the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that killed 50 people, saying it's justification for his proposed ban on Muslim immigration to the United States.

The GOP candidate said he predicted something like this would happen--adding to his earlier social media posts saying he was receiving "congrats" for "being right" on Islamic extremism.
"Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen--and it is only going to get worse," he said. "I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore."
He also used the situation as a reason to reiterate his position on admitting Middle Eastern refugees to the U.S. "We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year," he said. "Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States."

He'd probably argue his family should have never been allowed residency in America.

Those that don't know that the shooter is a natural born American citizen will be fooled by this

..that the US all-news networks are not repeating Trump's views. He's a major political candidate for President and these "tweets" should be reported as major news.

Trump's attack on Curiel is pretty much proof anyone with a funny name and is not white cannot be an American in his opinion.

That would be the end of him as presidential "hopeful".

(17,199 posts)19. I expect he'll talk about a Muslim ban today, along with his support for torture and killing
family members of terrorists.
