Donald Trump would demand Congress declare war on ISIS if elected president after Nice Bastille Day attack
Billionaire called on Obama to recognise 'radical Islam' problem, asking Twitter: 'When will we learn?'
DONALD Trump has threatened to declare war on ISIS after a horrific terror attack in France.
Responding to reports that a crazed gunman driving a truck ploughed through crowds in Nice killed 80 and injured 100, the presidential hopeful declared: “This is war.”
Although no-one has yet claimed responsibility for the horrific attack, Trump said he would demand a declaration of war on ISIS from Congress if he won the White House.
The Republican candidate called for NATO to act saying it “should be used for a purpose” to wipe out the "cancer" of the terror group, as unconfirmed reports claimed the terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
He used the attack to reinforce his calls for the US to tighten his borders and again raised his plan to ban Muslims from entering the country, asking his Twitter followers: “When will we learn?”
The former reality TV star said “it’s about time” Barack Obama to recognised the problem was “radical Islam”.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said: “Generally speaking I don’t think the people come out of Sweden, OK?”
He added: "This is war, coming from all different parts and frankly it's war and we are dealing with people without uniforms.
"In the old days we had uniforms and we knew what we were fighting. We are allowing people into our country who we have no idea where they are, who they are where they are from.
"They have no paperwork, they have no documentation in many cases."
