A man who reportedly pledged his loyalty to the Islamic State murdered 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday morning, making it the single most deadly mass shooting incident in American history.

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, tweeted his reaction on Sunday afternoon:

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

He also claimed to have "called it":

What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough

Earlier he tweeted:

Horrific incident in FL. Praying for all the victims & their families. When will this stop? When will we get tough, smart & vigilant?

Seriously?
