ARE YOU CONSCIOUS THAT TERRORISTS ARE AGAINST BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS?
50 souls lost and over 53 injured when a man who claims to love his religion opened fire on humans boogieing at their chosen joint.
With many victims of the carnage yet to be identified, and police still probing the suspected Islamist ties of the slain gunman, Trump wasted no time in harnessing the assault to his political advantage.
The presumptive Republican nominee unleashed a broadside accusing President Barack Obama and his would-be Democratic successor Clinton of failing to tackle what Trump calls "radical Islam."
"Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen -- and it is only going to get worse," he said in a statement. "I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore."
After extremists slaughtered 130 people in Paris last November and a Muslim husband-and-wife team murdered 14 in San Bernardino, California, Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.
The move prompted an uproar, but he doubled down, presenting himself as prepared to do more to crack down on extremism than his political rivals.
After San Bernardino, "It became a permanent part of the Trump dialogue," said Quinnipiac's Malloy.
In March, following a deadly attack in Brussels, Trump said his insistence on defeating extremism was "probably why I'm number one in the polls."
Opinion polls late last year showed a majority of Republicans supporting Trump's call for a Muslim travel ban.
Trump and Clinton are promoting radically different approaches to fighting terror, and have traded accusations that the other is not fit to run the country.
Trump has repeatedly called for a halt to refugee flows from the Middle East, and assailed Clinton for wanting to expand them.
He says he is prepared to re-authorize torture methods such as waterboarding in terrorism cases and advocates targeting the families of terror suspects.
Trump also repeatedly argues that attacks like the one in Paris would have seen far fewer casualties if people had been armed to defend themselves.
According to Quinnipiac, voters see Clinton as far more prepared than Trump to handle an international crisis -- but they see Trump as better able to tackle the IS threat.
"Trump has offered no real plans to keep our nation safe and no outreach to the Americans targeted, just insults and attacks," CBS News quoted Palmieri as saying."

YOU MAY WISH TO BE CONSCIOUS THAT ROBERT MUGABE SUGGEST (A)ICC FOR W(E)(OR)ST LEADERS :Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, who recently completed a one-year term as the chairman of the African Union, has called for the establishment of an African International Criminal Court that will try Europeans who commit serious crimes against humanity.
A Zimbabwean newspaper, The Chronicle, quoted President Mugabe as saying that it was time Africa establi
shed its own ICC to help seek justice for serious war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the West, especially during the colonial times.
“They committed crimes, colonial crimes galore – the slaughter of our people and all that imprisonment. I have a case. Why was I imprisoned for 11 years? We forgave them, but perhaps we have not done ourselves justice. You set up the ICC; we set our ICC to try Europeans, to try Mr. George Bush and Mr. Tony Blair,” Mugabe said.
