‘This is a Purely Religious Threat’: Trump Asks When United States Will ‘Fight Back’ Against Terrorism

Aside from remarking about the charitable actions of his son and how things will be different for the United Nations when he enters the White House next month, President-elect Donald Trump also took to Twitter today to provide some commentary about the recent terror attack in Berlin.

24-year-old Anis Amri was killed in Italy earlier today during a shootout with police officers. the suspected Berlin attacker was reportedly associated with ISIS, with the terror organization releasing a video of him saying the words Trump included in his tweets.

After the San Bernardino terror attack last year, Trump first proposed his ban on all Muslims entering the United States. While he and his team have gone back and forth on this proposal, the plan is still listed on his website.

Also during the campaign, he remarked that “I think Islam hates us,” told Sean Hannity that he prefers not to say the word “Muslim” and noted that he appreciated “the congrats for being right” about terrorism being the reason for Orlando shooting.
