Donald Trump seemed to repeatedly accuse President Obama of identifying with radicalized Muslims who have carried out terrorist attacks in the United States and being complicit in the mass shooting in Orlando over the weekend, the Washington Post reports.
Said Trump: “Look, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind. 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.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on.”
The Atlantic: “Trump’s suggestion came by implication, but the message unmistakable: The president may have somehow known about or been involved in the shooting.”
