Donald Trump seems to connect President Obama to Orlando shooting

[cali]

"Look, we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," Trump said in a lengthy interview on Fox News early Monday morning. "And the something else in mind -- you know, people can't believe it. 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."

In that same interview, Trump was asked to explain why he called for Obama to resign in light of the shooting and he answered, in part: "He doesn't get it or he gets it better than anybody understands -- it's one or the other and either one is unacceptable."

For months, Trump has slyly suggested that the president is not Christian and has questioned his compassion toward Muslims. Years ago, Trump was a major force in calls for the president to release his birth certificate and prove that he was born in the United States. On the campaign trail, Trump has repeatedly stated as fact conspiracy theories about the president, his rivals and Muslims, often refusing to back down from his assertions even when they are proven to be false.

During an appearance on the "Today" show later Monday morning, Savannah Guthrie pushed Trump to explain what he meant in the earlier interview.

4. Trump routinely speaks in broad generalities as a means of rumor-mongering

"...people can't believe it." Who are "people?"

He even said "People say I have 'the most beautiful hands'."

He sets up "people" so that he can avoid taking responsibility for owning his own viewpoint. Instead, he's merely paying heed to "people." These are the sorts of individuals to watch out for.

5. I am so tired of him(Trump) blaming everyone for the bad things that happen.

Poor little man can't get attention, by saying smart things that will help solve issues, so he says what is really in the little man's little mind(and I mean really little). The rhetoric that he says, is like Sarah Palin on steroids! She blamed Obama for her family issues, but not once did she blame Bush and Chenney for getting the US in the war in the first place. Small mind of little people will ruin this country and we are on the brink of it being done!
