    He also said this before Obama spoke:
    Most politicians try to play it safe with the "thoughts and prayers" bs, but not the Don. He's not afraid of controversy. He will continue to boast and attack Obama/Hillary even when it's considered a politically incorrect time to do so.

    A Muslim kills 50 people so let's bash Trump. There will be no backlash against him except from who are trying to change the subject.

    Obama likes to play things safe and all politically correct. Look what that's brought us. You didn't have ISIS in the world until that loser appeaser became president, anything and everything that links to ISIS links back to Obama and his failures.

    Trump clearly understands that being an appeaser isn't going to work, neither is whining and being politically correct...

    There's going to be backlash by the media. Perhaps not today while the news on the surface is still being digested, but by tomorrow or Tuesday for sure. Expect Hillary's surrogates like Reid and Warren to do most of the bashing.

    Maybe. I would say that anybody with a brain predicted the same thing. I'm a little surprised it took this long for an event of this scale to happen to be honest. I'm not a fan of the "thoughts and prayers" bs these political hacks shoot off in response to every tragedy. I think that the people who post that crap are as narcissistic as Trump. However, they aren't perceived that way. Perception matters. This could go two ways for Trump. He could look like a narcissist or he could look like the tough guy who knows what he's talking about. It'll be interesting to see what the polls show next week.

    It doesn't matter what Trump says. He is the only one,,,the ONLLLLLY one who is even saying he will do something about radical Islam. He could come out and put on a sock puppet play in the next week and hes still going to win. We have already seen what leftists response to radical islam is. Its pretend it doesn't exists and use terrorism as an excuse to grab guns from the American public. Its not going to happen. Leftists have proven they cant handle radical islam..in fact they have yet to even utter the term. Trump on his worst day would be a 100% improvement over Obama and his mush brained terrorist sympathetic followers.

    No, they were born in Syria, that is where they turned ideas into realities, and it all happened under Obama's watch. Stop trying to deflect from reality...

    Backlash? LOL

    I would say he just took Florida in the general election and pulled a pretty good percentage of the gay movement vote.

    its going to be fun watching Hillary try and convince the gay community that guns should be banned now that they are being hunted by terrorists.

    The MSM will probably report clinton pulling ahead in the polls and trump plummeting by tomorrow night because he insulted muslims somehow LOL.

    can we just have this election already. People have made up there minds.

    myself I wont be voting for trump because he is not conservative enough LOL. I will be voting third party maybe Mickey Mouse.... that will show everybody how smart I am! Hillary might become president but at least i can tell everyone how great i am because Donald is not "good" enough for my vote because i am sooooo cool.

    or maybe I will just vote for Trump.

    ISIS was active in Iraq before the meltdown in Syria.

    Look at the time line.

    ISIS comes from Al Qaeda in Iraq and the Islamic State itself was founded in around 2006 I believe. They became powerful due to a combo of the US pulling out in 2011 and Syria going into Civil War.

    To be clear, ISIS as an entity is a post-Bush organization who only found success outside of Iraq and aided and abetted by the Obama administration, either directly or indirectly. This reality seems to upset those who would rather deflect this back to Bush and everything else that doesn't touch liberalism and Obama...

    As he should, it is their PC bull(*)(*)(*)(*) that let this happen. How many terrorist attacks when Bush was president? 0, nada, zip, zero

    How many since Obama has been president? 20? 30? I lost count

    My vote would be to have Trump start having the Eddie Eagle program of the NRA taught from kindergarten through high school. There would have only been a few deaths in that nightclub instead of 50 if everyone was packing. Also, that was a gun free zone, I bet that makes terrorists feel better, much more carnage on their part

    No, as usual, you are completely wrong, and only care about your politics.

    Not true at all, ISIS is and always was an Obama baby, no amount of lying liberal deflection will change that...

    and why didn't you post the tweets he made first early this morning after the shooting you wont because it show that he just mentioned it is being investigated as a act of terrorism didn't mention Islamic just like it was reported on the news this morning

    here is what he said

    “Really bad shooting in Orlando,” he wrote at 8:07 a.m. “Police investigating possible terrorism. Many people dead and wounded.”

    then he makes another Tweet later that morning after I'm sure he learned the existent of the shooting tweeted at 11:45

    “Horrific incident in FL. Praying for all the victims & their families,”
    he wrote. “When will this stop? When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?”

    no mention of Islamic terrorism

    then we come to the tweets you posted with no mention of the ones before those which was an hour later at 12:43

    "Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"

    which that congrats wasn't accurate not fully because Trump didn't mention Islamic terrorism just terrorism just like the news was reporting at 8 o'clock this morning

    so please take your out of context selective posting bias media bull crap some where else we actually have people on this furom informed enough of the truth and not your bull crap

    Same playbook as the economy....everything is Bush's fault. Obama is blameless. The talking point is tiresome
    and constantly self serving.

    No, no, no. Just today on this forum it's already been established by the left that 911 was home grown and doesn't count.

    Both played a role in the rise of ISIS. To blame it all on Bush or Obama is idiotic.
