“These attacks were made possible by our extremely open immigration system”, Trump said Monday, after a bomb exploded on a New York City street, injuring more than two dozen people, and a knife-wielding attacker injured others at a mall in Minnesota over the weekend.

The presidential hopefuls offered competing counterterrorism visions in the wake of Saturday’s bombings in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, and in Seaside Park, New Jersey – Clinton, the former secretary of state, billed herself as experienced on national security issues and Trump portrayed himself as eager to “knock the hell out of” terrorists. “And we can do so in keeping with smart law enforcement, good intelligence and in concert with our values”, Clinton said, while warning that Trump’s positions are “meant to make some kind of demagogic point”.
“Certainly terrorism is a big deal and people are particularly concerned about ISIS”, says Mueller, citing a poll for Investor’s Business Daily that found 77 percent of Americans calling ISIS “a serious threat to the existence or survival of the U.S” after the attacks at the Brussels airport that killed 32 civilians. He held media cameras hostage as they focused on an empty stage at his newly launched hotel in the nation’s capital, where Trump did not arrive until 90 minutes after the anticipated start time. “We want to make sure we’re only admitting people into our country who love our country, we want them to love our country, and we want them to love our people”. “So let’s not get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric we hear coming from the other side”.
But while much of the foreign policy establishment has rallied around Clinton, Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, promises to close United States borders and vows to aggressively profile potential terrorists have fueled his presidential bid.
It is, in fact, unfair to suggest that the press is only now getting tough on Trump’s remarkably opaque and factually challenged campaign, just as it would be unjust to claim that they’ve always scrutinized Trump in a manner he deserved.
Trump also criticized Clinton and President Obama for refusing to say “radical Islamic terrorism”.
“We’re not winning the war, they are winning the war”, Trump said on Fox.
“Anyone who can not name our enemy is not fit to lead this country”, Trump said.
The Trump campaign responded by saying Clinton bears some responsibility for the violence by not persuading Obama to leave a residual force of USA troops in Iraq when she was his secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
“In the 20th century the United States defeated fascism, nazism, and communism”, Trump said.
“We’ve got to fight for this thing”, Obama thundered at a rally in Philadelphia last Tuesday.
The Real Clear Politics polling average shows Trump has a slight lead over Clinton in the sunshine state. “So, we can’t keep saying it’s not true”.
Trump’s plan to crack down on immigration from certain regions of the world was met with roaring support by members of the crowd at the Germain Arena. “And I will tell you, if you choose Donald Trump, these problems are going to go away”. It’s not a debate moderator’s job to do what Hillary Clinton can’t, and her supporters should stop trying to outsource the role of candidate to more capable figures. “I knew this was going to happen”, he added. I need you to make phone calls.

“This isn’t just a matter of terrorism, this is also really a question of quality of life”, he said. We’re being very gentle about it. “But every generation is like, ‘This is happening on our soil and what do we do now?’ And everyone is numb”. And though they appear to be unsophisticated in nature and were not deadly, authorities in NY said the situation in Manhattan could have been much worse had a number of additional shrapnel-packed devices gone off as intended. They believe in America. “I don’t want Hilary Clinton in the White House, I don’t want Hilary Clinton to bring four more years of the disaster that have plagued this country for the past eight”. You know, but this is our country. Come and live our ways.
