Trump offers conspiracy theory that Obama has "something going on" with Islamic terrorism
With 147 day to go until election day, Trump's imagination has hardly been tested. David A. Graham at The Atlantic reports that the top Republican suggested President Obama is "involved in the Orlando shooting." Somehow!
In an almost entirely unprecedented moment, Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, suggested in interviews Monday morning that President Obama may have somehow been involved in Sunday's massacre in Orlando. ..."He doesn't get it or he gets it better than anybody understands-it's one or the other and either one is unacceptable," Trump said on Fox News. He had already called in a statement Sunday for Obama to resign from office. Trump added on Monday:"Look, 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. People cannot, they cannot 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 going on."
