IS TRUMP TRYING TO MAKE TERRORISM IN THE US EVEN WORSE?

…Someone that lost some friends in the Orlando massacre

 

Trump says there are Muslim killers like the Orlando killer all over America.

 

I was not surprised that the Republican presidential nominee accused the president of possibly being in cahoots with the ISIL terrorists.  That is a normal reaction of Trump, and he didn’t disappoint me.  As Dana Milbank of the Washington Post wrote after Trump’s ridiculous, so called “foreign affairs speech”, based on Trump’s proposals, “How long will it be before American Muslims are forced to wear yellow badges with the [Muslim] star and crescent?”

 

Based on Trump’s latest proposal, he would not only ban all Muslims from entering the country, now he would also look at closing mosques and forcing Muslims already in the country to register with the authorities.  (Just like the Jews were required to do early on in Nazi Germany.)

 

According to the real estate mogul, “thousands of American Muslims, are being protected and hidden by their co-religionists, and they are prepared to commit even greater carnage because of their hatred for this country in which they live”……really?  Where does this man come up with this crap?

 

Trump is now saying that, “You have many, many, many people, right now living in the United States who are worse than him [the Orlando killer], who are more hateful than him,” Trump said this on Fox News Monday morning and of course, no one at Fox questioned what Trump had said. Trump has even determined that “you have thousands of shooters like this, with the same mentality out there in this country.”

 

If you know that’s the case, why don’t you Mr. Trump, point them out so the authorities can arrest them?

 

But Trump didn’t stop there.

 

He has apparently studied this issue personally, as he is now speculating that the trouble just might be with “their religion”.  He stated, “you have many, many people, thousands of people, already in our country that are sick with hate. And people that are around them, the other Muslims, know who they are…...”

 

And once again, the Trump’s team didn’t stop there.

 

Roger Stone, a close advisor to Trump made a comment on satellite radio that Huma Abedin, the Muslim who has been a long-time top advisor to Hillary Clinton, “she could be a Saudi spy or a terrorist agent.”  And Mr. Trump could be the idiot he is!

 

In addition, Trump has again said that President Obama is in support of the terrorist enemy.  He went on to accuse the American Commander in Chief of the capital crime of treason.  Trump said Obama “should immediately resign in disgrace” if he refuses to use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorist.”

 

The president in his speech after meeting with his military advisors, then went directly after Trump and refereed to him as the nominee that Tweets his ridiculous messages about the president not using the term “radical Islamic terrorist.  The president said “Do you really think that by using that statement and rolling all Muslims into that category is going to make a difference?”  The president went on to say that for him to be using that name is exactly what the terrorists want from the West.  The terrorist goals are to be recognized as the sole representatives of the Muslim religion.  Why should we be giving in to what they desire?

 

Obama tends to avoids words that needlessly inspire further radicalization. But Trump obviously saw another conspiracy, as he told Fox News that Obama perhaps “gets it better than anybody understands” and “has something else in mind. . . There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable.”

 

When Trump was pressed on NBC about this “inconceivable something,” Trump said that “there are many people that think maybe he [Obama] doesn’t want to get it.”

 

This isn’t the first time that Trump has hinted about an “Obama-is-a-traitor” conspiracy. 

 

Last year, Trump said Obama’s decision to allow Syrian refugees into the United States was: “A lot of people think it’s evil intentions.”  At another time, Trump said Obama was “emphatic on not solving the problem with terrorism” because “there’s something going on we [Americans] don’t know about.”

 

Yes, it all started back when Trump was the “Birther-in-Chief”.

 

Remember when Trump had said, “He [Obama] doesn’t have a birth certificate or, if he does, there’s something on that certificate that is very bad for him. Now somebody told me . . . that where it says ‘religion’ it might have said ‘Muslim.’ ”

 

But then the president proved him wrong by producing his long-form birth certificate and it did not say "Muslim".

 

All Trump is doing with the Orlando tragedy is to shift his racist focus from the Trump University judge to the shocking death and carnage in Orlando.

 

It is appearing that the Orlando killer had mental issues and he was motivated by anti-gay hatred.  The killer is now being looked at as if he might have been confused about his own sexuality.  It was disturbing to Trump that the killer was not a foreign born terrorist as he originally had said, but that he was American born.

 

Yes, Trump actually tried to say in his prepared speech last Monday afternoon, using the teleprompter he once said he would never use, that “the only reason the killer was in America in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here,” and that Muslim communities must “turn in the people who they know are bad — and they do know who and where they are.”

 

According to Trump, the Orlando killer is just one of thousands of would-be Muslim murderers being knowingly harbored by other American Muslims and of course by a terrorist-friendly US president Obama.

 

Then Trump changed the subject and said that “ISIS took over our passport machines. They make passports now better than we do.”  (For one of the first times, Trump may be more correct than not, as the US Intelligence has said the terrorists do have their own machines for making false passports.)

 

But Trump is well known for re-Tweeting the racist work of white supremacists, which he just says “I’m merely repeating what a lot of people think”……yeah right.

 

Even Mitt Romney has said to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he is worried about Trump’s “trickle-down racism”, (Now there’s a saying that should stick to Trump for his complete presidential campaign.)

 

To cap off a horrible day of the death of 49 innocent people at The Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Trump’s pathetic comment was a Tweet that said, “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”

 

What Trump deserves is scorn for possibly helping make terrorism like that in Orlando possibly even worse across this country.
