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."
