Obama ‘was more angry at me than the shooter’

In the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in our nation’s history, you’d think that we’d come together to find sensible solutions to our gun violence problem.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, the US’ highest-ranking elected Republican, said on Tuesday that Mr Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim immigrants was not in the country’s interest, nor did it reflect his party’s principles.

Trump goes on to predict the union’s members will wind up voting for him in much larger numbers than Clinton in November, despite their union’s endorsement.

Many people may not want to have beers with either one of these candidates but they seem to be able to get past the usual reflexive assumptions about Republicans and Democrats.

For Republican officials already struggling with whether to fully embrace him, Trump’s willingness to engage in stories usually limited to supermarket tabloids is only making their options more complicated.

Clinton tore into Trump’s history as a leader of the birther movement, which alleged Obama was not born in America – which he was.

In March, a Nova Scotia DJ launched the website “Cape Breton If Trump Wins”, letting Americans know that residents of the East Coast island will welcome them with open arms.

Before entering politics, Trump celebrated same-sex unions, including a civil partnership of singer Elton John.

“When I am president, it will always be America first”, he wrote.

Donald Trump, for all his faults, has forced Hillary Clinton to cross the threshold and acknowledge the obvious, that “radical Islam” is a risky threat to our country.

Obama is right to call Trump’s Muslim ban “dangerous”.

This freaky usage of the term led to Trump being roasted by the LGBT community on Twitter. “They have been through something that nobody could ever experience”.

The new twist in Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric came in the aftermath of a weekend shooting massacre at a Florida nightclub by the American-born son of Afghan immigrants.

“Someone seriously thinks that we don’t know who we are fighting?” “We have to have people report”. Trump delivered his own counterpunch at his rally in North Carolina. Some of those times he said he was repeating what “many people” believe – one of the presumptive Republican nominee’s favorite ways to sprinkle conspiracy theories into the presidential campaign.

“To suggest, as the White House does repeatedly, that calling jihadis by their name bestows religious legitimacy, or that recognizing radical Islamists as Muslims somehow bestows religious legitimacy on them is as arrogant as it is wrong”, Rubin said.

And now, full circle, Barron is back on the Trump Train.

Other congressional Republicans claimed, improbably, not to have heard what Trump said. I mean, I’ve been right about a lot of things, frankly… Was I alone in that? “I watched President Obama today and he was more angry at me than he was at the shooter”.

Not all gay Republicans in leadership positions are as convinced. The agency’s Sarah Stringer said the intention was to capitalize on an event that happens every four years in the US – the presidential election – without mentioning specific candidates or pushing for a certain outcome.

She called Trump’s remarks “shameful” and “disrespectful” and “yet more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be president”. The organization won’t make a decision about a formal endorsement until a meeting is held.

Putting up barriers isn’t going to stop robots and machines from doing the factory jobs that people once did. If he can get on message and start talking about issues that I care about, then we’ll be fine. “An attacker, as we saw in Orlando, only has to succeed once”. Trump’s hard-line proposals on immigration have contributed to his popularity among some conservative voters. If I deserve it. You know, I’ll deserve bad stories on occasion. “I am not going to be an enabler of a racist, anti-Constitutional, authoritarian Trump regime”.

Still, Angelo was encouraged by what he heard in Trump’s speech Monday.

“It’s the media’s duty to check facts, but the media have minimal credibility, so therefore the fact-checking has minimal credibility”, said Tobe Berkovitz, a Boston University professor who specializes in political communications.
