After a violent trifecta of a day, in which terrorist attacks left at least 9 dead and 50 injured in Germany after a truck plowed through a crowded Christmas market (see "Truck Ploughs Into Berlin Market Killing Nine, Over 50 Injured; US Condemns 'What Appears To Be A Terrorist Attack'"); three more people hurt in a shooting at an Islamic Center in Zurich, Switzerland; and the Russian Ambassador to Turkey murdered on live television (see "Russian Ambassador In Turkey Murdered In Terrorist Attack By Shooter Screaming "Allahu Akbar" - Live Feed"), president-elect Trump dares to suggest that something has to change...
Today there were terror attacks in Turkey, Switzerland and Germany - and it is only getting worse. The civilized world must change thinking!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 19, 2016
Additionally, Die Welt reports Trump noting that...
The drama on the Berlin Christmas market is a "terrible terror attack". "Innocent civilians were murdered on the street when they were just about to celebrate the Christmas holidays," Trump wrote in a message.
"The Islamic state and other Islamic terrorists regularly slaughter Christians in their communities," Trump continues. These terrorists, their regional and world-wide networks would have to be eradicated: "An order which we will carry out jointly with all partners who are liberty-loving."
Of course, this kind of insensitivity will merely inflame those left-leaning, more-immigration-is-better, everything-is-awesome members of society who will just keep ignoring this trend until it randomly strikes their own family (especially after a record number of Democratic electors migrated to the dark side).
Team Obama’s response to the Ankara assassination was also state-centric. It offered its “condolences to the Russian people and Government” and declared, “we stand united with Russia and Turkey in our determination to confront terrorism in all of its forms.”

First of all Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet.
Second of all, what the hell is Obama doing to prevent this chaos from continuing, after all, he's still the Potus, corrrect?

I'm not holding out my breath. Trump is a businessman, all he cares is the development of his brand and familial wealth. His whole campaign was based on criticising others, not doing anything constructive.
Again he is only criticising ("change your thinking"). I have yet to see him DO anything.
His words are just words. They are worthless to me. His actions speaks louder and his actions so far have been really bad and contradicting his words:
- Claims to want to stop outsourcing jobs - outsources jobs to Mexico and China
- Claims to want to drain the swamp - put Wall Street people in highest functions
- Claims to want to put Hillary in prison - says we should leave her alone
Words, words, words. Trump is a master BSer. A pathological liar.
I hope he proves me wrong but most likely he won't

He should, because for the last 8 years, the Obama administration has done nothing but apologizing for the terrorist calling them isolated and lone wolf.
The only reason you don't see people in the US screaming round up and deportation is because we so far have been lucky and the terrorist attack in the US are scarce. Then by the time foreign immigrant or refugees became wannabe terrorist they are already citizens and is called domestic terrorism
Once that change, lord forbid and people will star singing a different tune.
Attacking innocent people during the holidays in majority Christian nations is war against religious views of those that practice Christianity.
It is a religious war what terrorist are wagging after all.
Is about time we addressed this acts of terror for what they are, terrorism by radical individuals
