Donald Trump’s campaign canceled a rally planned for Great Bay Community College Monday afternoon due to the act of domestic terrorism in Orlando, which took the lives of 50 people. Two had ties to Massachusetts.

In the aftermath of the many casualties and the shooter's reported allegiance to the Islamic State, Trump will focus his speech on national security and no doubt continue a his latest line of attack against the sitting president - if he will not say the words "radical Islam," then the should resign.

Another theme likely to reappear is a proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S., which Trump floated early in his candidacy despite widespread condemnation from leaders in both parties.
