Trump response to Istanbul attack: "Americans don't do waterboarding and yet we chop off heads"

[Miles Archer]

At least 36 people were killed and scores injured in the coordinated assault on Istanbul's busy Ataturk Airport. There has been no formal claim of responsibility, but officials have pointed the blame at ISIS.

Shortly after the attacks Trump took to Twitter to ask "will the world ever realize what is going on? So sad."

He later suggested fighting "fire with fire," telling a crowd in Ohio that "we have to fight so viciously and violently" against terrorists.

"Can you imagine them sitting around the table or wherever they're eating their dinner, talking about the Americans don't do waterboarding and yet we chop off heads?" he asked. "They probably think we're weak, we're stupid, we don't know what we're doing, we have no leadership. You know, you have to fight fire with fire."
