Donald Trump on Tuesday accused President Barack Obama of being angrier at him than at the gunman who perpetrated the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. “We want to remain a free and open society”. Obama said Trump was a “dangerous threat to the nation’s safety, religious freedom and diversity”. Another 22 percent said they didn’t know. You know, raising his arms and yelling, you’re fired. “We had death, and destruction”. “As a Jewish organization we are very sensitive to the rhetoric used against law-abiding Muslims in the United States in the wake of terrorist attacks by Muslim radicals”. Maybe the cause is narrower: the Democrats have succeeded in demonizing Trump to the point that most people will disapprove, no matter what he says. We can’t get ISIL unless we call them ‘radical Islamists, ‘ ” Obama stated during a televised address after meeting with his National Security Council at the Treasury Department. The rabbi disagrees, however, with the candidate’s call to expel illegal immigrants from the United States and his criticism of a federal judge with Mexican ancestry who Trump said was biased against him in a lawsuit concerning the defunct Trump University. “Do Republican officials actually agree with this?” he asked.

In a statement less than 24 hours after the shooting in Florida, Trump called for President Obama to resign because he would not use the words “radical Islam” in his response.
“[Obama] doesn’t get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands”, Trump said on “Fox n’ Friends” program.
During his speech, he not only abhorrently criticized both Clinton and Obama, but he also chose to go for the jugular. As he has in the past, the president argued that it fed into the propaganda of groups like ISIS and al-Qaida if American leaders described the fight against them as a war between Islam and the West.
“If there’s anyone out there who thinks we’re confused about who our enemies are, that would come as a surprise to the thousands of terrorists who we’ve taken off the battlefield”, Obama said. “That’s how they recruit”.
“We can not demonize, demagogue and declare war on an entire religion. I rent these large arenas.so I have an option” Trump said about denying access to the media, CNN reports.
