(Trump.news) Not one to use a crucial moment to push a political agenda like our president, but presumptive GOP nominee Donald J. Trump nevertheless reminded the country that he  – not Obama or presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton – is the one who has been calling for caution when it comes to admitting migrants from terrorist-sponsoring nations into our country. In a series of tweets, he took credit “for being right on radical Islamic terrorism” and wondered if Obama would even mention the phrase (he didn’t). “If he doesn’t he should immediately resign in disgrace!” Trump tweeted, but of course that won’t happen.

For the record, Obama laments all of these “mass shootings” and loves to use each tragedy to push his favorite political agenda – gun control – and did so again yesterday. But the fact is, these are happening on his watch and yet somehow the hapless, sycophantic legacy media can’t seem to make the connection. If anything, Trump is right – Obama bears at least some responsibility for this terror-related carnage, none of which happened on his predecessor’s watch.

The Orlando attack could help

That said, a former Israeli ambassador to the United States believes the Orlando attack will ultimately help Trump more than it will hurt him. As reported by Breitbart News:

The Orlando attack, in which first generation U.S. citizen Omar Sadiqqui Mateen shot at least 50 people in a gay club, will help Donald Trump’s chances of becoming president, Israel’s former ambassador to the U.S. said.  

“If the motive for this mass killing had been hatred for the LGBT community, this would have played to Hillary Clinton’s benefit,” said Michael Oren, who now serves as a member of Knesset from the center-right Kulanu party.

“Given that it is becoming clear that the motive is Islamist-jihadist, it will benefit Donald Trump,” Oren told Israel’s Channel 10 news Sunday.

“This will greatly strengthen him.”

Oren also said that Trump has yet to take full advantage of the situation to gain the political upper hand.

The political realm

In the political realm, other things happened over the weekend. For one, Trump called for unity within the GOP, and pointed out that the party risked losing the Senate, at least, if it did not coalesce around him and a singular agenda – beating Hillary Clinton and her Left-wing extremism. As reported by The Associated Press:

Campaigning in the crucial battleground state of Florida, Donald Trump bashed Democrats and Republicans alike Saturday, from Hillary Clinton to former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on the right.

Addressing a crowd of thousands at the Tampa Convention Center, Trump tore into “Crooked Hillary,” as he calls his likely general election opponent, over her use of a private email server while secretary of state. He called Romney a “stone, cold loser” for not backing him as the presumptive Republican nominee.

Trump said the Republican Party “has got to get their act together, come together to win.” He slammed Republicans in the U.S. Senate who oppose his candidacy.

‘Serious change agent’

Offering a little criticism but mostly good advice to Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN’s Erin Burnett that the GOP’s presumptive nominee could become a serious “change agent,” but that he needs to “run a credible thoughtful campaign” and “demonstrate the seriousness that people expect of their president.”

Here’s a partial exchange:

BURNETT: And this – this issue, though, uh, with the judge has – has caused some in your party, Senator, of course, to – to question Donald Trump in ways he has not been questioned before. Senator Mark Kirk, the first, uh, Congressional lawmaker to withdraw his support from Trump. Bob Corker, also supporting Trump, as you know, said yesterday that Trump has two to three weeks to turn things around, uh, the – the hanging thought there, ostensibly that Corker, uh, could then jump ship.

Is there anything Trump could do that would get you to rescind your endorsement?

MCCONNELL: Well, look, he’s been chosen by the Republican primary voters all across America. He – he won it the old-fashioned way, he got more votes than anybody else. So he’s going to be the nominee.

What most of us would like to see is him run the kind of campaign that gives him a chance for victory, because we don’t think four more years just like the last eight are good for the country. And Hillary Clinton will be four more years just like the last eight. If people are satisfied with where America is today, they think this is as good as we can do, then they probably ought to vote for Hillary Clinton.
