The idea that referring to “radical Islamic terrorism” would be controversial when used in conjunction with 9/11 when radical Islamic terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 Americans, is disgusting enough, but then to try to denigrate Trump’s remarks as a “catchphrase” (meaning a phrase that is recognizable because it is uttered repeatedly), does grave disservice because Trump is using absolutely precise language to describe a terrifyingly real threat.

To limn the president as being on the defensive simply because a disgruntled staffer wrote an op-ed (anonymously, no less), and a former failed president had to thrust himself into the limelight, is a bit of a stretch.
