Donald Trump thinks President Obama’s reluctance to say the U.S. is at war with “radical Islam” might be because he “has something else in mind.”
Trump insinuated during a Fox News interview Monday that Obama could have ulterior motives regarding the way he’s dealt with terrorism as president. During Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly called on the president to release his birth certificate and once claimed that “maybe it says he is a Muslim.”
“Look guys, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart or he’s got something else in mind and the something else in mind, you know, people can’t believe it,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told Fox News Monday morning.
Trump continued, “They can’t believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.'”
“There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something go on,” he said.
During a press conference Sunday, Obama described the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., which left 50 people dead and 53 injured, as an act of both terror and hate.
“No act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans,” the president said.
