Donald Trump on Terrorism: GOP Candidate Insists He Can Sense Terrorism Coming
Donald Trump insists he has an eye for terrorism few others can match.
In the wake of the deadly Paris attacks that left at least 129 dead and more injured, the New York Daily News reports the leading 2016 Republic presidential candidate has taken to boasting that his innate instincts might serve to prevent such incidents if he were elected.
"In my book I predicted terrorism because I can feel it," the billionaire real estate mogul recently told a packed crowd at Tennessee's Knoxville Convention Center. "I can feel it like I feel a good location."
In the past, Trump has also taken credit for describing Osama Bin Laden as a "shadowy figure" prior to attacks of Sept. 11, and for predicting that weapons of mass destruction would be used against an American city.
"I really believe I have an instinct for this kind of thing," he added.
Still, instead of putting his purported gift to good use, Trump has spent the last several days attacking President Barack Obama and lambasting him over what he describes as his "weak and ineffective" leadership where ISIS is concerned.
The ISIS militant group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, prompting Trump to declare that, in order to combat extremism, he would "bomb the sh*t" out of ISIS in Syria and shutter American mosques touting Islamic extremism.
Trump added that the thousands of refugees fleeing war-torn Syria could wait out the airstrikes in a "big, beautiful safe zone," instead of pouring into Europe and the U.S.
According to Reuters, Trump leads Ben Carson 34 to 20 percent among all GOP voters in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio clocks in at 10 percent and onetime party front-runner former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush now stumbles at just 4 percent.
