Orlando shooting: Donald Trump seeks Obama's resignation

Washington, June 13: Responding to the Orlando shooting in Florida, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump hit out at US President Barack Obama and sought his resignation from the office.

Trump called on Obama after the latter did not mention 'raidcal Islam' in a statement in response to the Orlando shooting that took place at a club killing 50 and injuring many.

Trump said: "Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen - and it is only going to get worse." "I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore," Trump said in a statement.

"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!," he wrote on Twitter.

Trump took to Twitter and said that the leadership is weak and ineffective.

Trump had earlier called for a ban on Muslims entering the USA, for which he drew massive criticism. However, after the Orlando shooting, he said: "I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough."

Orlando shooting, carried out by an American-Afghan citizen has left 50 dead and several injured.
