Donald Trump Makes Worst Mass Shooting in U.S. History All About Him
While the body count was still being updated in Orlando, the Republican nominee-to-be tweeted that he was right about ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’
Donald Trump couldn’t resist making the deadliest mass shooing in American history all about him.
The presumptive Republican nominee tweeted that Omar Mateen’s slaughter of 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, proves he was right about the threat of Muslim terrorists and that the ban he proposed on all Muslims entering the country—something he later referred to as a suggestion—would have somehow prevented Mateen (a U.S. citizen) from committing this atrocity.
Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!
Trump is also apparently calling on President Obama to resign for not saying the three magic words “radical Islamic terrorism,” nevermind the fact that Obama called it an “attack on all of us.”
Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!
For Trump, mass murder and tragedy are often opportunities to plug a political belief or flaunt the fact that he got a hasty prediction right.
Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!
In the aftermath the San Bernadino terrorist attack last fall, which claimed the lives of 14 people, Trump retweeted someone saying that his poll numbers would go up as a result of these deaths. When EgyptAir Flight 804 crashed on its way to Cairo last month, Trump immediately said it was a terrorist attack before the cause was known and pivoted to politicizing the event.
During a victory speech in March, Trump proudly referred to the November terrorist attack in Paris as something that changed the scope of the race for him, helping to lift his poll numbers. “Something happened called Paris,”Trump said. “And all of a sudden, the poll numbers shot up. And I’m just very proud to be a part of this.”
Trump released a statement Sunday evening that doubled down on his claim that he predicted more terrorist attacks.
“If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen—and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can’t afford to be politically correct anymore,” the statement read.
Trump also demanded Hillary Clinton drop out of the presidential race if she doesn’t use “radical Islam” to describe the attack in Orlando. He plans on delivering a speech Monday in New Hampshire to address the massacre.
Not only is Trump rushing to profit politically from Orlando; he is also bulldozing the truth to do it.
It appears that Trump copied a tweet from Sebastian Gorka, an Islamophobic writer, alleging unverified reports that Marteen shouted “Allah Akbar!” during the shooting. CNN’s Brian Stelter initially flagged the similarities between the tweets. Gorka was also previously paid $8,000 by the Trump campaign for “policy consulting.” Gorka told The Daily Beast via email that he was not aware of the Trump tweet and that he is no longer consulting for the campaign. Gorka alleged he got his information from the Daily Mail.
