Seizing on the most recent wave of apparent terrorist attacks inside the United States as an opportunity to attack his opponent, Donald Trump told the crowd at a Florida rally that “Hillary talks tougher about my supporters than she does Islamic terrorists, right?”
Trump’s remarks came on the same day that police apprehended a suspect in a wave of bombings over the weekend in New York and New Jersey. Police have not linked that suspect to a foreign terrorist group, but Trump still spent much of his rally discussing terrorism, specifically that the attacks were inspired by a radical interpretation of Islam. As he has in the past, the Manhattan billionaire attacked both Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama for their unwillingness to use the label “radical Islamic terrorism.”
“She called patriotic Americans who support our campaign, many of them cops and soldiers, deplorable and irredeemable, and she means it. Millions and millions of people,” Trump said, recalling remarks Clinton made earlier this month when she lumped a portion of the GOP nominee’s supporters into a so-called “basket of deplorables.”
“Has she ever talked that way about radical Islam? No. Or about those who murder women and gays overseas? Has Hillary Clinton ever called people who support these practices deplorable and irredeemable? No,” Trump continued. “Let's ask Hillary Clinton how many people who subscribe to radical Islamic views and support the oppression of nonbelievers would you call deplorable or irredeemable? Or are those were words only reserved for hard-working Americans who truly love our country and they want to make a statement?”
He went on to complain to the crowd that the suspect captured Monday would be treated too humanely by law enforcement and the justice system. He lamented that the suspect would be given an “amazing hospitalization” after being shot by police as he was apprehended and will be defended by “an outstanding lawyer.”
"Today we have caught this evil thug who planted the bombs. Thank you, law enforcement. Thank you, police,” Trump said. “But the bad part, now we will give him amazing hospitalization. He will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world. He will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. And he’ll probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is. And on top of all of that, he will be represented by an outstanding lawyer.”
Trump told the crowd that “immigration security is national security” and later repeated a parable that he has used on the campaign trail before of a woman who saves a nearly-dead snake and brings it into her home. Once healthy, the snake bites the woman who rescued it, killing her. Trump likened America to the woman and the immigrants entering the country illegally or without proper vetting to the snake. He said “we are going to make, potentially, the Trojan horse look like something that is very unimportant by comparison.”
As a remedy, Trump prescribed another of his controversial proposals, a temporary ban on certain immigrants entering the U.S. That ban has evolved over the course of Trump’s candidacy, from a restriction against all Muslims to one against all immigrants from “any nation that has been compromised by terrorism.” On Monday, Trump outlined a ban against immigrants from any nation “where safe and adequate screening cannot occur.”
Trump also said immigration into the U.S. should require “extreme vetting” that would include an ideological test. He said those coming to the U.S. should “expect to succeed and flourish here.” The Manhattan billionaire added that “they have to love our country. They have to love us.”
“My policy will benefit the millions of wonderful immigrants living here and the wonderful immigrants coming in to our country in the future,” he said. “Because all good and decent, loving people want to live in a good and decent, loving country.”
