El Trumpo was knocked out of the headlines for 10 seconds and he really didn’t like it so he tried to seize them back by tweeting this little challenge to the ditherer-in-chief:
Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
This has been a familiar critique from conservatives for years – remember when Mitt Romney got screwed over by Candy Crowley for launching a similar accusation at Obama during a debate?
Anyway, Obama released a statement calling it “terrorism,” but this wasn’t enough for the Donald, who is now calling for his resignation:
“Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse,” Trump said in a statement. “I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can’t afford to be politically correct anymore.”
Trump’s campaign said he will address the attacks in a speech he already had scheduled to deliver on Monday addressing national security and responding to criticism from Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Here’s his entire statement:
BOOM!! Well I guess that’s it, it’s over, Obama has to resign, right?
Well. Hmm. Maybe save that popcorn in case he doesn’t do what the Donald demands.
