Trump Said Radical Islam is the Enemy; 11 Cartoons That Tell the Tale

Today at the 9/11 memorial President Trump said the name of the enemy we’ve been fighting that former President Obama refused to say:

“Since September 11, nearly five-and-a-half million young Americans have enlisted in the United States armed forces,” Trump continued. “Nearly 7,000 service members have died facing down the menace of radical Islamic terrorism.”

The use of the term “radical Islamic terrorism” was impactful in the speech.

Trump did not use the term in his speech during last year’s 9/11 remembrance ceremony.

The term “radical Islamic terrorism” was all but banned from the White House during the Obama administration. President W. Bush, the only other president in the post-9/11 era, used the term sparingly.

Trump continued, saying, “Today, we also think of the more than 200,000 service members now serving overseas and we think of every citizen who protects our nation at home, including our state, local and federal law enforcement. These are great Americans. These are great heroes. We honor and thank them all.”

Here are 11 cartoons that tell the tale of how we got where we are today:

And now finally we have a President that is real about the dangers we face, and is willing to take action to defend America and put our interests first.

Thank you President Trump!
