Donald Trump Forgets Muslim Champions During Obama Criticism
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump seemed to suggest Sunday on Twitter that he couldn't recall any of America's great Muslim athletes — despite having met "The Greatest" on several occasions.
The business mogul, as has become custom during his presidential campaign, took to Twitter to offer his thoughts on President Barack Obama's national address.
Obama used the speech — just his third delivered from the Oval Office — to outline his strategy for defeating ISIS, and implore Americans to reject discrimination against Muslims.
"Muslim Americans are our friends and our neighbors; our co-workers, our sports heroes — and, yes, they are our men and women in uniform," Obama said.
Trump, who has drawn constant fire for his divisive rhetoric, criticized Obama for not saying America was "at war with radical Islamic terrorists," and asked whether the president was "profiling" when he said some of the nation's sporting greats were Muslim.
