Congratulations, Donald Trump.

Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

To be clear, congratulations are not in order because you’re tough and vigilant. You are late to that party: President George W. Bush declared war on terrorism in 2002 and handed it over to President Barack Obama, who tweaked the rhetoric and strategy but nonetheless kept up the fight. Together, the Bush and Obama regimes have killed tens of thousands of Islamic extremists, along with countless innocents.

You were not right on radical Islamic terrorism. But you are doing right by radical Islamic terrorism.

You are giving legitimacy to ISIS’s nefarious interpretation of a peaceful religion.

You are helping ISIS recruit terrorists.

You are dividing Americans at a time when all Americans most need to be united.

So congratulations.

What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2016
