Another 53 people were hospitalized, most in critical condition. But he abruptly switched his focus following the attacks on the gay nightclub in Orlando.

“And the something else in mind – you know, people can’t believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism, ‘” Trump said on Fox News Monday morning.
Two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate have, at least for now, withdrawn their support of their party’s presumptive nominee for president, Donald Trump.
– “Strongman” – =============== Clinton leads Trump in most head-to-head matchups, but “things can happen in the final weeks and months before the election”, explained Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. Trump tweeted moments before President Barack Obama addressed the nation from the White House. If he doesn’t he should immediately resign in disgrace!’ But it has helped him win over many primary voters who fear the rise of Islamic extremism and believe that “political correctness” – the fear of offending Muslims – is damaging national security. The FBI is appropriately investigating this as an act of terror.
Still, Dubowitz said that he thinks that “the administration has wrongly downplayed the motivating and mobilizing ideology that underpins the threat”.
In the wake of the shooting, Clinton and President Obama postponed their first joint campaign appearance, which was scheduled in Green Bay, Wi. on Wednesday.
Trump canceled a planned Monday evening rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire late on Sunday, because of the shooting, but was set to go ahead with a major speech at St. Anselm’s College on Monday afternoon.
Why do Donald Trump and other Republicans say using the term “radical Islamic terrorism” is so important? He said Clinton should exit the presidential race if she does the same.
Trump has in the past called for a ban on the Muslims from entering the US and the destruction of ISIS. “Many people dead and wounded”. The presumptive Democratic nominee also made her first remarks on Twitter early Sunday, writing: “As we wait for more information, my thoughts are with those affected by this horrific act”. But Sunday’s shooting altered her plans and she avoided direct attacks on her GOP rival, declaring, “Today is not a day for politics”. It will run in battleground states beginning Thursday.
Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer who now directs the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution, said the debate is just semantics.
Instead, she said the country must “redouble our efforts” to defend the country, including “defeating worldwide terror groups, working with allies and partners to go after them wherever they are, countering their attempts to recruit people here and everywhere, and hardening our defences at home”. He later issued a statement of sympathy to the Florida victims, with no political overtones.
The motive behind Sunday’s early morning rampage at a gay nightclub in Orlando was unknown when Trump and Clinton began weighing in.
“Clinton made a false ad about me where I was imitating a reporter GROVELING after he changed his story”. I would NEVER mock disabled.
Because the shooter was American-born and lived in Florida, Trump’s ban would not have prevented the shooting.

Elsewhere, the Holy See press office issued a statement, saying, “Pope Francis joins the families of the victims and all of the injured in prayer and in compassion”. When will this stop? We must be smart!’ After America’s most deadly shooting in history – committed by a devout and radicalized Muslim who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State – Clinton said the Orlando slayings were a “hate” attack on lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders. “We must be smart!”
