Trump should be careful if badluck befell America and he becomes her president. US Muslims would turn against him and from allies with these terrorists.Anerica prides herself in being the leader of the free world. That title will vanish as soon as Trump comes in. Reply Replies gentleJune 15, 2016 at 10:41 AM With or without trump, some muslims already side with ISIS and other terrorist groups.. its a very sticky situation. Obama' stance is not exactly helping the situation. His protecting the freedom of America is not exactly stopping the renegade muslims from carrying out their threats.. trump's stance is a bit excessive but it will bring solace..and a sense of security to americans..that's the exact reason why he's popular. And about being leader of free world, who cares about that title? Americans are not first in any sector again because a hugeee portion of her budget goes to military expenditures. She's no more 1st in educational sector (in terms of most brilliant students), or a leader in technology, or standard of living. Why? Because she pokes her nose in every military conflict in the world...that is a major issue trump said he'l stop when he becomes president. Evry country will fight their wars, not run to america to do the fighting for them. Then the military expenditures can go into improving the lives of americans. Trump is better for americans, in my opinion. He doesn't care about other countries, except america, and americans citizens first! My only issue is his lack of experience in politics, but well. ..no one man can break america..so.... Juliet IwunoJune 15, 2016 at 10:52 AM And dat makes him a tramp??? Lets choose our use of words wisely. Linda take note! obinna c.oJune 15, 2016 at 12:33 PM Yes u are right, it is bad to discriminate and stimatise a whole religion and its poeple because a section of it is radicalise.

Donald is more like the APC we have in Nigeria. They are quite deceptive in their sugar coated tongue. Without have a clear direction the problem is actually is. But I trust Americans they are very intelligent. They dont look at situations at the surface but deeply. Unlike Nigerians that can easily be misled by corruption and lies. There is no quick to defeating ISIS but a clear understanding of their ideologies which the Americans truly understands that they are trying a create a huge disparity between religious groups so as to lead to a major religious war. We cant allow that to happen. This is their main objective. Reply Mr 47June 15, 2016 at 12:21 PM The secret weapon has been unleash. Hilary, allow me to the first to wish Congratulation.

I bet you might for once do something now that your beloved gays were killed. Obama The worst US president ever.

President Obama has launched his most scathing attack on Presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump, blasting his 'Muslim ban' and saying he is going against American values with his comments and propositions.
Obama said that ideas such as the Muslim ban on Immigrants were “doing the terrorists' work for them,"
Obama's comments on Tuesday came after a meeting with the Treasury Department with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and other national security advisors that focused on efforts to cut off the finances of ISIS. He also said that the campaign against Islamic State is “firing on all cylinders” and that the “noose is tightening” around the group's territory in Iraq and Syria, before launching into a lengthy condemnation of Republican rhetoric about “radical Islam.”
“Are we going to start treating all Muslim Americans differently” than other citizens, Obama asked. “Are we going to start discriminating against them because of their faith?”
'If the U.S. goes down down that path “we would have betrayed the very things we’re trying to protect,” the president said. “And then the terrorist would have won, and we cannot let that happen. I will not let that happen. The main contribution of some Republicans has been to “criticize this administration and me for not using the phrase ‘radical Islam.’”
“What exactly would using this label accomplish?” he asked. “Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there are military strategy that is served by this? The answer,” he said, is “none of the above.”
“This is a political distraction,” he said. “Someone seriously thinks that we don’t know who we’re fighting? That would come as a surprise to the thousands of terrorists who we’ve taken off the battlefield.”
Trump in his usual fashion, replied to Obama's comments saying Obama was more angry with him than the Orlando shooter, drawing cheers from the crowd.
"He was more angry at me than he was at the shooter," Trump said. "We're led by the stupid people," Trump said at one point. "We're not going to be fools anymore."
