Trump Accuses President Obama of Siding with Terrorists, And the News Media Shrugs it Off? That is a new LOW.

What is happening in our country?
The presumptive nominee of one of our major political parties, Donald Trump, following the worst mass shooting in US history in Orlando, has accused President Obama of sympathizing with terrorists.   Amazingly, the reaction to Trump's remarks has been relatively mild.


Trump had, unmistakably, questioned Obama's intentions to combat terrorism and where his loyalties really were.
Trump told FOX earlier this week that Obama "gets it better than anybody understands" and "has something else in mind...There's something going on.  It's inconceivable."  Trump, questioned separately on NBC about what he meant by "something," and he said "...there are people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it.."
Trump added to his remarks on Tuesday when he told a crowd in North Carolina that Obama "was more angry at me than he was at the shooter."  (Obama had harshly and somberly criticized Trump regarding Trump's comments about Orlando).  Trump provided not a single fact to support his accusations against Obama.


For nearly a year, I've been hearing journalists and politicians, on television, marvel at Trump's remarkable capacity to survive after being in one controversy after another of his own making.
I've watched the news media choose to not substantively, rigorously cover many, many of Trump's remarks and actions, thereby allowing  him to march to his current position as presumptive nominee.


Without reviewing Trump's record as a candidate, I believe his accusations against Obama about
siding with terrorists - alone - disqualify him to serve as President.  You simply do NOT make such an accusation unless you have irrefutable facts and the President faces incredibly unique circumstances (historically).
You don't make an accusation of "treason" lightly! 


Yet, we've gotten to such a sick, dysfunctional point that members of our media sit around and chat about how "unusual" and amazing Trump is without doing any tough, truth-seeking reporting on him.  Had they done much better reporting, Trump would have never gotten to the embarrassing position he's in now.


I haven't heard any US senator or representative call for Trump's disqualification based on his allegations vs. Obama.   It seems politicians have the same outlook as cable television media and that is to do nothing but shake their heads and act "surprised" or "amazed" by Trump's outrageousness. 


Trump, clearly - indisputably - is not fit to be President or to receive a nomination from one of our major parties.


Does anyone have the principle, common sense or guts to stand up and say so?


Apparently not - so far.
