(35 minutes later)
Donald J. Trump called on Monday for further bombing of Islamic State terrorists, accused American Muslims of looking the other way as attacks unfolded and said that the country was currently led by a “fool” in his first extended remarks since the Sunday massacre in Orlando. Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton set their sights on each other Monday, just a day after the massacre in Orlando, Fla., with Mr. Trump suggesting that his opponent was too weak to keep the country safe. Mrs. Clinton warned that Mr. Trump’s demonization of Muslims was inciting terrorists.
Mr. Trump used the worst attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. to justify some of his more provocative policies on Monday, defending his plan to ban Muslim immigration and suggesting that stricter surveillance was needed in mosques. The clash comes as national security takes center stage in the campaign after the worst attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. The latest incident occurred Sunday morning at a gay nightclub in Orlando, where a Muslim man claiming allegiance to the Islamic State shot and killed 49 people and wounded 53.
“It’s war,” Mr. Trump said on Fox News. “It’s absolute war.” Mr. Trump responded with fury on Monday, calling for increased bombing of Islamic State terrorists, accusing American Muslims of looking the other way as attacks unfolded and warning that Mrs. Clinton did not comprehend the nature of the threat.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee assailed both President Obama and Hillary Clinton, accusing them of failing to understand the nature of the terrorist threat facing the country and pointing to the fact that they do not use the phrase “radical Islam” as evidence. Mr. Trump also appeared to suggest that Mr. Obama might be complicit in such attacks. He also condemned Mrs. Clinton for failing to use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.” They were the first remarks by Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, since the massacre on Sunday in Orlando.
“We’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind,” Mr. Trump said. “There is something going on.” Mrs. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, initially offered a measured response and a call for unity before warning that Mr. Trump’s policies were part of the problem. She also said that the threat of terrorism was not a matter of language and that she had no problem using the term “radical Islamism” in an interview on CNN.
Mr. Trump, assailed President Obama as well, accusing both him, and Mrs. Clinton, of failing to understand the nature of the terrorist threat facing the country. Mr. Trump also appeared to suggest that Mr. Obama might be complicit in such attacks. “We’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind,” Mr. Trump said. “There is something going on.”
Mr. Trump also accused the president of coddling terrorists overseas and being overly concerned with collateral damage.
“Can you imagine General Patton saying ‘Please get out of your trucks because we’re going to start dropping bombs in one hour?’” said Mr. Trump. “This is the way we fight. We’re led by a fool.”
The remarks come ahead of what Mr. Trump has billed as a major speech on terrorism that he will deliver in New Hampshire on Monday afternoon. Previewing the speech, he said that his national security plans would include the country becoming tougher and smarter.The remarks come ahead of what Mr. Trump has billed as a major speech on terrorism that he will deliver in New Hampshire on Monday afternoon.

He said that Mrs. Clinton, the former secretary of state, was not fit to steer the country through such crises. Polls show that many Americans appreciate Mr. Trump’s tough talk about terrorism.
