Republican presidential candidate Trump's reaction to the carnage in Orlando, while predictable, is still jarring in its utter lack of credibility and utility. Here is a guy who is aspiring to become the free world's leader in about seven months, when he is inaugurated as the President of the United States should he win the election in November.
He doesn't have a clue on what he can say and not say as a potential world leader. He is yakking that he is right about his plan to ban Muslims from entering the United States in the future should he become president. More than one billion Muslims in the world - banned from entering the U.S. if Trump becomes president. How many Muslims have been responsible for the murder of innocents in the U.S.? No more than fifty. Out of more than 1 billion. How many home-grown, non-Muslim terrorists and serial killers responsible for mass murders in the U.S.? Many more than the Muslims. The fact is, you can't prevent mass murders. Insanity will always be with us. Mentally unstable people will snap and commit mass murder. People who are ultra-religious will snap and commit mass murder. If you don't believe this, examine the backgrounds of those who murder abortion doctors. Many of those are born-again Christians. Do we call born-again Christians terrorists because of those murders? How does society protect against such people, knowing that it cannot protect against all of them, but as Hillary Clinton has said, society can protect against some and therefore save lives? 1. *Through better investigating techniques.* The guy who murdered innocents in the Pulse night club in Orlando had been investigated by the FBI twice in 2013, but the FBI found nothing and did not continue its surveillance. The FBI was ineffective. Hillary is right: the FBI must do a much better job. 2. *An assault rifle ban must be in effect immediately.* A campaign against the NRA (National Rifle Association), which opposes the ban, must be a part of the Hillary campaign for president. Trump says that if there is a ban against the sale of assault weapons, only the criminals and crazies will have assault weapons. This is total nonsense. Criminals and crazies buy their assault weapons shortly before they commit their mass murders. If they cannot buy the weapons, what will they use? Glocks? They won't be able to kill as many. And has there ever been a case where the innocents were able to prevent the mass killings because the innocents also had assault weapons? Trump says the solution is to arm the innocents with assault weapons so they can defend themselves. Who would give kids money to buy assault weapons so they can take those weapons along with them when they have fun in a night club? Imagine kids toting assault weapons in the streets, in churches, in restaurants. Everyone with an assault weapon walking around in parks, in schools, in government buildings, in buses and taxis. This is the world that Trump envisions. Trump says private citizens must have the capability to buy assault weapons because they need those weapons to protect themselves against the terrorists and mass murderers. So much for that insanity. I suggest that private individuals who already own assault weapons must be prohibited from selling such weapons to private individuals and groups without an official permit from the ATF to conduct the sale. All existing assault weapons in the hands of private individuals and groups must be registered with the ATF, like cars are registered each year in the state where they are located. This is to make sure that the weapons are still in possession of those who originally bought them. And Trump must shut up about President Obama. He insinuates that Obama is a secret Muslim because Obama can't utter the term "radical Islamic terrorism." Trump is absolutely incapable of projecting himself as a responsible leader. Imagine if Trump as president starts to call the Muslim terrorists as a part of the larger Radical Islamic Terrorism. The whole Islamic world would react with more hatred for Americans because what the term suggests is that there is a movement within the Islamic religion that is radicalized and is terrorist. The international Islamic community rejects the tactics of the terrorists in their midst and are fighting great wars against ISIS, or ISIL, or Dash. Before that the Islamic community fought Al Qaida. They are also fighting the Taliban. The Islamic community denies that the terrorists in their midst are Islamic. They are not Islamic, according to the Muslims, just as the IRA in Ireland, though made up of Catholics, did not represent Catholic teachings. There is no place in Islam for people who use that religion to commit mass murder, according to those who practice that religion. No responsible world leader calls the terrorists Radical Islamic Terrorists. Why would Obama be the first one to do that? As private individuals, we can have the opinion that there is in fact a faction of the Islamic world that is terrorist. And we can say that - privately. But for a leader of a country, especially the United States, to say that, it would lead to a real war with the 1 billion Muslims, most of whom are disowning the terrorists in their midst. The fact that Obama recognizes that the world's Muslims have a right to a good name for their religion means that Obama is a Muslim, according to Trump. When one defends the rights of African-Americans, does that make one a black man or woman? When one argues for the rights of women to better pay and better treatment, does that make one a woman? When one argues that gays have a right to exist and do whatever it is they want to do when they are together, does that make one gay? Trump's logic is child-like. It's really a wonder that he is now the presumptive nominee for president of one of the two major political parties in the U.S. The Republican voters today should have their heads examined. They have nominated a man who very likely descended from the same branch of the Germanic nation that thinks of itself as the superior race who can bully everyone that the nation happens to hate. His hate speech is reminiscent of another leader who comes from that Germanic nation: Hitler.
