Trump shouldn’t modify his tones for the weakest sisters of our country. It’s a winning tone and America desperately needs a winner for a leader and commander. Even if Patton slapped a dozen surrender weasels, backing him 100%

LOL! Another “backlash” against Trump. Should be good for 5 or 6 million more votes for Trump. The “backlashers” don’t intend to vote for Trump anyway. It’s Americans who Trump is trying to reach. There are a lot of retarded fools working for Time these days. They just don’t “get it”.

".....They're only focusing on the first three words. ...."

..... The first 3 words were poorly chosen. If I was Trump's advisers I would have somebody handling my social media account to help fashion some better communications to release to the public.

... He said ... "Appreciate the congrats for being right ...."

..... A better choice would have been to say something to the effect ... ..... "This is not a time for people to congratulate me for being right about radical Islam. I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

.... It was a bad choice of words.

..... If he becomes President he will probably need multiple Press Secretaries for dammage control.

"Trump did not let them take ownership of the issue of fighting Radical Islamic Terrorism."

Trump owns the issue now from here to at least the election. Hillary, shall we say, blew it again.

>>apparently there was some multiculturalism magic worked at the very end, they thought it would be unfair to single him out or something.

Yep. Can’t deny a permit or license to a guy with a muslim name. That would be islamophobic or racist or something.

And of course ignoring all his other tweets today that don’t fit this narrative.

Any way one looks at this terrible terrorist event, the Democrats, Liberals and MSM are complacent in the act. They have to lash out at anything they can to try to gain an upper hand on the narrative; something that will be near impossible to do unless Trump ordered the shooting. This terrorist ISIS attack upon the soil illuminates the hypocrisy and dereliction of duty by this administration to protect the citizens of the US on our homeland. Any previous time the President would had to have resigned for incompetence and treason.

Or we could grow up and realize that leaders say things they mean and not what the focus group says. We demand focus group leadership and teleprompter perfection and then we claim that we want authenticity.

Choose one or the other!!

I believe he will. More policy statements will be forthcoming I think that will be aimed at better protecting the US people.

Trump could shove a baby carriage out of the way of a speeding train & the LSM & GOPe would find ways to condemn him for it.

We need an army gathered on Twitter to combat this faux outrage, and give back to these Marxists.

Don't forget that while all these drastic events are catching everyone's attention 24/7, Obama is admitting approx 100 Syrian (mostly muzzies) illegals (under cover of news blackout) into our country EVERY DAY !!!

I’m tryin’ to tell you somethin’ ‘bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you’ve ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It’s only life after all, yeah
Well darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable
And lightness has a call that’s hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety ‘til I sank it
I’m crawling on your shores
And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There’s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line

And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
