You've got to hand it Donald Trump. Just when you think he couldn't sink any lower, he does it once again.

Trump really is like a Townhall comment section that gained sentience.

We may never know..but my take is that the mass murder in Orlando was a case of self loathing. It came out that about 10 years ago the gunman frequented a restaurant where most of the staff was gay...had a friendly relationship with a drag queen there and got along well with the other gay staff and likely even attended a drag show or two with people from the restaurant. The drag queen who provided the info said that he never displayed any sign of being anti gays and was always very cordial and friendly.
Couple this with his becoming abusive to his wife shortly after marriage, a potential sign that he thought marriage would cure his perhaps latent homosexual desires and grew to resent her whe it did not.
It may well have been an extreme version of all those Pastors who used their pulpit to condemn gays, an effort to redeem themselves with God while they themselves were engaging in gay relationships.
As I said...we may never know, but the possibility is certainly there that the whole ISIS pledge was his misguided effort for redemption. Religion has the nasty habit of pulling some folks in that direction.

This is the American way...sadly.
"Shares of Sturm Ruger & Co. were up nearly 10% by mid-day Monday.
In the aftermath of a mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left at least 50 people dead, shares of gun manufacturers have soared.
Shares of Connecticut-based manufacturer Sturm Ruger & Co. climbed by nearly 10% to $62.91 per share between market close on Friday and 12:15 p.m. Monday. As of the same time, shares of Massachusetts gun maker Smith & Wesson had increased by about 8% to $23.12 per share."
Nothing better for share value than a good old mass murder.

Trump ally: Is Clinton aide a 'terrorist agent'? | TheHill
We're probably only a few steps away from someone suggesting all Muslims wear a yellow crescent on their sleeves...

More proof that Trump can't take the heat.
Trump Bans Washington Post From Events - The Daily Beast
He has already said that as President he would go after news organizations who, basically, criticize him.

It still seems so perverse to me. If for example, Ford announced that one of cars had a defect that could/had killed people, their share price would plummet. For gun manufacturers the opposite is true. Until you take the profit out of selling guns and ammo, then I don't see you solve the problem.

Very true.
