Trump to America: Be afraid

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump embraced the politics of fear in the wake of the deadliest shooting in U.S. history, declaring Americans to be living in an “age of terror" and himself as the only leader resolute enough to confront threats at home and abroad.

“If we don’t get tough and smart and fast were not going to have our country anymore,” Trump said in a speech at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. “There will be nothing, absolutely nothing left.”

It was a remarkable and harsh speech, filled with inaccuracies and delivered less than an hour after Hillary Clinton had concluded a speech of her own on the same topic in Ohio.

The dueling addresses could not have been more different and they represented an abrupt intensification of the general election, even as the candidates denied they were seeking political advantage from the tragedy. The speeches came before the family members of all 49 victims at the gay nightclub in Orlando had been notified of their loved ones’ deaths, according to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The media is treating it very negatively and the readers comments are blasting it as horrendous. Usually the Trumpbots swoop in and defend him but they are being drowned out by the people telling trump to go fuck himself.

Makes the idea of him trying to be a father figure to the country very scary. I dont know what he would do with those urges but i am sure none of us would ever want to talk about after

He will encourage women to hide out in their kitchens and make their husbands dinner. And he will have gay people hide their true identity....like in a closet and just pretend to be straight....for their own protection.
