Billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump, left, and President Barack Obama, right.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump said President Barack Obama “should immediately resign in disgrace” for refusing again to “mention the words radical Islamic terrorism.” The Donald sent out a tweet prior to the president’s remarks in the wake of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, which multiple intelligence agencies, law enforcement officials and lawmakers have conceded was an act of Islamic terrorism.
Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!

President Obama again blamed the Second Amendment for the Islamic terror attack, but said his motivation was not clear. In fact, Omar Mateen, 29, the Muslim U.S. citizen born to Afghan parents, “was on the radar before” he opened fire in a gay nightclub in Orlando, killing at least 53 people. A senior law enforcement source told People’s Pundit Daily that Mateen was twice a person of interest in terror-related investigations, once in 2013 and again 2014.
Multiple witnesses have now confirmed he was yelling “Allah Akbar,” or God is Great, and police in the building during the shootout said he was praising the Islamic State and pledging allegiance to Abu Akbar al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS.
Worth noting, supporters began to pour in kudos on Twitter for his stance on radical Islam and curbing unfettered immigration until a vetting process could be established, but he somewhat rejected them.
Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!
