Calling it a “dangerous mind-set,” President Barack Obama on Tuesday once again vehemently denounced Donald Trump for “his rhetoric in the aftermath of the shooting massacre in Orlando, Florida,” writes The New York Times:

We hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests entire religious communities are complicit in violence,” Mr. Obama said at the Treasury Department. His statement came after a meeting with his national security team on the status of the American effort against the Islamic State, which the president said had been dominated by discussion of the Orlando rampage.

“Where does this stop?” the president said of Mr. Trump’s approach, noting that he had proposed a ban on admitting Muslims into the United States, and that the Orlando assailant, like perpetrators of previous domestic terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, Calif., and Fort Hood, Tex., was an American citizen.

“Are we going to start treating all Muslim-Americans differently? Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance? Are we going to start discriminating against them because of their faith?” Mr. Obama said, his voice rising during his most direct condemnation yet of Mr. Trump. “Do Republican officials actually agree with this?”

The president’s concern was also tweeted:

Trump turned 70 on Tuesday. We’d like to think that with age comes wisdom, but Trump has clearly demonstrated that is not case. Sound off in the comments.
