Instead of playing dirty with “politicians who tweet and go on cable news shows”, USA President Barack Obama addressed the nation regarding the use of the term “radical muslim”.
This was in reaction to Donald Trump’s national security speech, during which he suggested a stronger ban on Muslims.
Turning the tables, Barack Obama made an impassioned plea, arguing that it is actually Trump who is un-American.
