"Donald Trump waded into the fever swamps on Monday, suggesting in two interviews that President Obama may have a secret agenda that prevents him from combating Islamic terrorists.
The comments added to a long list of conspiracy theories from the presumptive GOP nominee about the president's religion, birthplace and worldview. They also sent a clear message to Republicans who have begged Trump to soften his rhetoric that he's not changing his ways anytime soon.
"Well, there are a lot of people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it," Trump told NBC's "TODAY" on Monday while discussing the attack that killed at least 49 people at a gay club in Orlando over the weekend. "A lot of people think maybe he doesn't want to know about it. I happen to think that he just doesn't know what he's doing. But there are many people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it. He doesn't want to see what's really happening."

(47,750 posts)who want to believe that President Obama is the Manchurian Candidate. I think Trump believes he was being subtle and only base can hear him. Evidently he doesn't understand the concept of "dog whistles".

He's playing to the racist base - he's not one of us and he's a Muslim. Don the Con is a nasty, racist vulgarian - calling him a despicable human being is too kind.

(21,760 posts)He wants to allow suspected terrorists to continue to buy guns at will here, and he does everything within is power to help them recruit.
I don't think there is a whole lot more anyone can do short of pulling the trigger himself.

(3,040 posts)But, I think Trump loves when these terror attacks occur because with each tragedy, he becomes more likely to win the election. The average American votes out of fear more than any other reason.
God help us all.

(9,776 posts)Not to mention, a large percentage of them don't really mind this latest tragedy because they don't care what suffering people of the LGBT community are subjected to. There is no expectation of any sort of reverence on this occasion.
And, in general, as long as he's being a pompous ass, talking like a punk, and disparaging everyone who's not them, he's their man.
