Politics – Obama goes on the attack against Trump

President Barack Obama turned the tables on Donald Trump on Tuesday by accusing Trump of being the one who is un-American. Obama’s remarks were motivated by his disgust over Trump’s response to the Orlando shooting. After the shooting, Trump hinted that the President was complicit of Islamic terror attacks, and renewed his idea of banning all Muslims from immigrating into the country. “That’s not the America we want,” Obama said. “It doesn’t reflect our democratic ideals. It will make us less safe.” The President drew an analogy between Trump’s call for a ban on Muslim immigration and some of the lowest points in the country’s history of mistreating its people. “If we ever abandon those values, we would not only make it a lot easier to radicalize people here and around the world, but we would have betrayed the very things we are trying to protect,” Obama said.
