and worries about whether or not the government thinks Islamist terrorism really has nothing to do with Islam, he knows what side of the political spectrum all of this is coming from. When the Democratic President either doesn't seem to notice a problem here, or speaks in a way that seems more or less okay with it all, he's far more inclined to think, "This Donald Trump guy is a blowhard, but the other guys don't seem to get it at all".
That's why I say it's a missed opportunity for the Democrats, and for Obama, by ceding these conversations to Trump.

Obama always refers to ISIL, he as far as I know never mentions Islamists. There are many levels and types of Islamists, some may not even hate or are a threat to the USA, so why antagonize them? Trump can go off on Islamists because he's a buffoon who doesn't know the difference or the political implications.
