Is he just looking for headlines? Playing to his base? After the Las Vegas massacre there was a little sympathy and a lot of silence from Donald Trump on guns. This morning when the topic was terror, it was a seething Donald Trump who didn’t sound like the flag bearer for “equal justice under the law” or “innocent until proven guilty.” A living, breathing terror suspect is red meat for this White House. Here is a president who is openly considering sending a green card holder to Guantanamo prison, and thereby bypassing the U.S. justice system, which he labeled a “joke” and a “laughing stock.”
