Last night President Obama called ISIS “thugs and killers” and “part of a cult of death” while reminding America that peaceful, patriotic American Muslims are our neighbors and friends. Donald Trump responded with his usual no-holds-bar rhetoric, despite forgetting this guy and this guy and this guy.
Obama said in his speech that Muslims are our sports heroes. What sport is he talking about, and who? Is Obama profiling?

Yeah, dude. Sorry about your grandma, but no visits from her until “our countries representatives figure out what’s going on.”
For some perspective, 23% of the world’s population is Muslim. There are 1.6 BILLION Muslims in the world. What does that mean here in the USA?
Damn no more visits from my grandma then? https://t.co/809Pz0lnuq

Which is weird since the Donald was pretty friendly with Muslims until it became politically advantageous to ragebait on not being friendly with Muslims:
