North Carolina : Republicans’ presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump has accused U.S. President Barack Obama of being angrier at him than Omar Mateen, the gunman responsible for mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.
“I watched President Obama today and he was angrier at me than he was at the shooter,” CNN quoted Trump as saying.
“The level of anger, that’s the kind of anger that he should have for the shooter and these killers that shouldn’t be here,” he added.
The U.S. President had earlier in a speech ripped through Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ rhetoric, saying such a dangerous mindset will make the Muslim Americans feel that their government is betraying them.
Taking a jibe at Obama, Trump said, “I’ll tell you what he’s been one hell of a lousy president, he’s done a terrible job.”
He also took a jibe at his opponent Hillary Clinton.
“If Hillary Clinton becomes president I don’t know that our country will ever, ever come back — I mean it,” Trump said.
Mateen (29) opened fire at the crowd present at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday killing 53 people and wounding several others before being shot dead by the cops. (ANI)
