Trump later said he did not want to singularly profile Muslim populations, but instead people or groups on somewhat of a case-by-case basis.

Following the bombings in the NY and New Jersey area, Donald Trump condemned political correctness while hunting for terrorists on Monday morning, and mocked America’s “stupid” leaders. Trump cited criticism of Matt Lauer for his performance at the recent Commander in Chief Forum.

Trump said the debates are “a very unfair system, so we’ll see what happens”.

“They’ve just been in a narrative of denial”, Pence said of the Democrats’ response to the continued attacks on the homeland. Even before police confirmed that it was a bomb in NY and not an accident, Trump declared it was a bomb.

Dozens of former high-ranking national security officials are calling on Donald Trump to disclose the nature of his overseas business relationships, including his foreign investments and worldwide business partners. However, the Democratic nominee did suggest her Republican adversary has been responsible for helping ISIS grow their ranks. Clinton will be at Temple University for an event that begins at 1 p.m. “Trump has more support from the Aryan nation and the Ku Klux Klan than he does from leaders of his own party”, Warren said. Trump, too, announced plans to meet with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on Monday.

“When I am President, terrorists like today’s suspect in the NY and New Jersey bombings, Ahmad Khan Rahami, and yesterday’s knife-wielding ISIS sympathizer in Minnesota, Dahir Adan, will be stopped”, Trump said in the statement.

“I think this is something that will maybe get – will happen perhaps more and more all over the country”, Trump told “Fox and Friends”.

On Saturday, almost 40 people were injured as a result of two blasts in NY and New Jersey as well as a stabbing spree at a mall in Minnesota.

“We know that a lot of rhetoric we’ve heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS, because they’re looking to make this into a war against Islam rather than a war against jihadists, violent terrorists, people whose number in the tens of thousands, not tens of millions”.

She also called for an accelerated air campaign in Syria “to smash ISIS’ stronghold”, an effort she said she planned to discuss with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt in NY late Monday afternoon. “I know how to do this”. She added that the campaign recognizes younger voters are a key demographic and “it’s clear that the campaign must do more to earn their vote”.
