In a rambunctious rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, Trump responded to criticism from President Obama earlier Tuesday, saying “Obama was more angry at me than he was at the [Orlando] shooter,” writes Guardian politics reporter Ben Jacobs:

Trump had implied a day earlier that Obama was somehow in league with terrorists. On Tuesday, Trump kept up the criticism, telling the Associated Press: “President Obama claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people.”

The presumptive Republican nominee also spoke darkly about Muslim immigrants to the United States at his Greensboro rally, which followed a speech in New Hampshire on Monday in which he renewed a call for a Muslim ban.

“How does this type of immigration make our lives better?” Trump asked. He continued to allege that Syrian refugees were “sneaking into” American communities “without documentation”.

Trump also boasted about banning “the dishonest Washington Post” from his events. “I love it” he said of banning the well-respected and much-decorated journal. He added, “I’m so happy.” The Post is one of a number of media outlets that Trump has banned from his events. The list also includes Politico, Buzzfeed, Univision and the Des Moines Register.
