While Obama would not use the term "radical Islam," a point of contention for Trump, Trump ignores the root cause of more than half of terrorism that has occurred since 2002.

A few weeks ago, in the Portland train attacks, three people were stabbed after they tried protecting two teenage girls from a terrorist named Jeremy Christian. One of the two girls was Muslim and wore the hijab. Christian told the girls they were nothing and that they should kill themselves, and he also reportedly said, "Muslims should die."
It took three days for any condemnation of this terrorist attack to be displayed on President Trump's social media. Furthermore, Trump's response was tweeted using the Twitter account that he inherited from President Obama and not his own account, thus he did not reach many of his supporters.
Trump is very quick to condemn terrorist attacks that Muslims perpetrate in the West, but when they are perpetrated by those who are not Muslim, the response is not immediate, and often there is no response at all. If Trump continues to do this, he will leave a legacy in which he was more committed to serving his political interests than the safety of Americans.
