Barack Obama more angry at me than Orlando shooter: Donald Trump

President Barack Obama and other Democrats were joined by Republican leaders disconcerted by Mr Donald Trump in condemning his anti-Muslim rhetoric following the Orlando shooting.

But they might have gotten just as much work done on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is angrily denouncing Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric, blasting the views of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee as a threat to American security and a menacing echo of some of the most shameful moments in USA history.

Obama’s rebuke Tuesday was his most searing yet of the man seeking to take his seat in the Oval Office.

“This was a country founded on religious freedom”.

Stringer said ultimately, Air Canada saw the campaign as an opportunity to increase their brand recognition in the U.S.as it battles fierce competition from its American rivals.

Obama walked listeners through a familiar litany of battlefield successes, but then came another message. Trump professed support for law-abiding Muslim Americans but said that if they didn’t report on “bad” people within their midst, “these people have to have consequences, big consequences.”Trump’s polarizing rhetoric on this issue may be the best thing the Islamic State has going for it, according to some leading USA and foreign counterterrorism experts”. On Tuesday in Pittsburgh, Clinton blasted the billionaire for peddling “lies” because “he has to distract us from the fact he has nothing substantive to say”. “We’ve seen our government mistreat our fellow citizens and it has been a shameful part of our history”. Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans?

Eliot Cohen, a top-ranking State Department official during the Bush administration, called Trump’s reaction to the shootings “opportunistic and shallow” and “not what Americans expect from a president”.

Trump also said if Obama had been a “great president”, the businessman would have been happy.

Though the Orlando shooter – 29-year-old Omar Mateen – was born in the United States, Trump noted that he was “born to Afghan parents who immigrated to the United States”. The presumed gunman was an American-born citizen whose parents came to the USA from Afghanistan more than 30 years ago.

He redoubled his previous call for a temporary ban on Muslims coming to the US, saying that policy would stay in place until the government can “properly and perfectly” screen immigrants.

Extending her support to Obama, Hillary Clinton described Trump’s response as rife with “conspiracy theories” and “pathological self-congratulations. We need to build trust in Muslim communities here at home to counter radicalisation and the one wolf phenomenon”, she argued.

“Where does this stop?” Obama said. “Are we going to start treating all Muslim-Americans differently?” We have to stop them, and we will. Obama said. “Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance. I love it! We just took the press credentials away from the dishonest Washington Post”, Trump said as the audience erupted in raucous cheers and applause.

“I think there’s an element of victim blaming – by calling it radical Islam and facing the problem, we may promote further attacks”, she said. Republicans have said the careful parsing is a sign of over-caution and political correctness that demonstrates denial about the groups responsible for the extremist view. Good phrase, though Trump is more accurately tapping underground racism and causing it to gush freely. It is a political talking point. “Of course we want to keep our country safe.But I want to underscore we rely on partners in majority Muslim countries to help us fight terrorists”.
