In the wake of the terrorist attack on an Orlando nightclub Sunday morning, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump seized on the crisis, first by tweeting that he saw it coming and now in a fundraising email headed “Make America Safe Again!”
“The horrific attack that took place this past weekend reveals how weak the leadership is in our country,” Trump begins the fundraising pitch. “My thoughts and prayers go out to the many friends and families affected by the events in Orlando, Florida. I am going to be a President for all Americans, and I am going to protect and defend all Americans. We will not stand by and allow another tragedy like this to happen. We are going to make America safe again and great again for everyone.”
