Trump: I’m Getting So Much ‘Congrats for Being Right’ on Terrorism After Orlando
http://www.mediaite.com/online/trump-im-getting-so-much-congrats-for-being-right-on-terrorism-after-orlando/
by Ken Meyer ![]() Donald Trump is taking a victory lap on Twitter in light of the news that the suspect behind last night’s massacre in Orlando was motivated by religious extremism. Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted out a message of mourning as the news broke about the fifty dead and the scores wounded at the Pulse nightclub. As the day went on, the FBI and other officials close to law enforcement said that there were indications that suspect Omar Mateen had extremist leanings and pledged allegiance to ISIS before the attack. Trump, who has proposed hardline proposals like a temporary ban on Muslims from entering America, spotted another tweet about getting tough on terrorism.
As the indications on Mateen’s leanings came to a head, Trump topped it off with this tweet to his supporters. Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart! UPDATE — 2:25 P.M. EDT: Trump wasn’t done yet. Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!

1. So to be clear
Did he oppose our involvement in Afghanistan? Both of them? Did he oppose bringing in Afghans who we thought supported us?

that the shooter was an American citizen, born in NY.

8. No, no .... he clarified that
... eve if you are a US citizen .... if you are born to immigrants or Muslims, you are still a danger to the "great U. S. of A".
He is such an ignorant, bigoted short fingered vulgarian. I truly cannot believe anyone actually supports this a$$-clown |

3. He just can't stand the thought of something or someone else other than him
dominating the news programs and headlines for more than ten minutes.

4. Besides the obvious inanity of Trump's words,
be certain that the number of congrats is likely manufactured by Trump & Associates themselves. They add thousands of "likes" his Facebook entries within one hour after posting. Highly unlikely and proven not to be independently endorsed. See link: http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-facebook-followers-2015-6
Trump controls the message and the alleged support of his message. |
