Your next president:
“Our local police, they know a lot of who these people are. They are afraid to do anything about it because they don’t want to be accused of profiling, they don’t want to be accused of all sorts of things,” Trump said on Fox & Friends.
Trump then pointed to Israel’s practice of predictive profiling as an example, saying the country has done “an unbelievable job.”
“Do we have a choice? Look what’s going on,” Trump said. “Do we really have a choice? We’re trying to be so politically correct in our country and this is only going to get worse.”

Trump added on Friday that he believes more terror attacks will happen in the US.“I think this is something that will maybe get — will happen perhaps more and more all over the country,” Trump said. “Because we’ve been weak. Our country has been weak.”
Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC just told me that this week-end’s terrorist attack favors Trump. According to her, after San Bernardino he got a tough on terrorism persona that benefits from these attacks. This is something I did not know. I guess that explains why he’s pretty much saying “bring it on.”
He does seem a little confused about the role of law enforcement though. He loves them but thinks they are so cowardly and selfish that even if they know terrorists are planning an attack they won’t do anything about it because someone will say something about them. So people are injured and die.
