"We're At War, Get It Through Your Head", Trump Doubles Down During Combative Follow Up Interviews
12 hours after his dramatic campaign statement to shut out Muslims arrivals into the US, Donald Trump doubled down and in a series of interviews early on Tuesday, he repeatedly told anchors such as CNN's Chris Cuomo that "we're at war - get it through your head" in his latest heated exchange, during which he reminded America how quickly people have forgotten "World Trade Center #1 and World Trade Center #2."
One thing that Trump did stress throughout the media blitz is that his plan to prevent Muslims from entering the U.S. was "temporary." and in a follow up interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" he clarified that American Muslims living abroad could return to the U.S., following conflicting statements by his campaign yesterday: when asked if Trump's proposal applied to U.S. citizens living abroad, a Trump spokesperson had told The Hill on Monday that Trump's proposal applied to "everyone."
In the aftermath of yesterday's announcement, there has been a surge of media outlets comparing Trump to Hitler (as seen below).
George Stephanopoulos asked Trump during the ABC interview whether the candidate was bothered by the increasing number of such comparisons, to which Trump responded with a simple, "No."
As could have been expected, Trump's interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" turned combative when co-host Joe Scarborough tried to interject a question, while the real estate mogul continued to speak during the phone call-in interview. As the Hill reports, Scarborough threatened to send the interview to a break if Trump didn't allow him to ask a question. After Trump didn't relent, Scarborough instructed producers to cut to commercials.
After the break, Trump discussed comparisons to former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Questioned about whether he was proposing internment camps like the ones FDR created for the Japanese, Trump said, "I am not proposing that. This is a whole different thing," he added later during another combative exchange.
It wasn't just the leftist media that attacked Trump - so did the GOP, where rivals blasted Trump, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush who called it "unhinged," as well as the Republican party chairs in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The White House and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton also panned the idea as un-American and unconstitutional.
Despite the condemnations, Trump said on MSNBC that "we have to get our hands around a very serious problem" adding that "not everybody has condemned" his comments.

The choice Americans have to make is really difficult, as i see it both are awfull and i would not vote for any.
AMEN to that!! How did this country get in such awful shape that we are looking at these kinds of choices??
Because the genuniely smart men and women know that a country as divided and multi-cultural as the disUnited States is impossible to govern effectively.
They also know that all the real power rests in the hands of the Commitee Chairmanships in Senate.
Only narcissists, egomaniacs, and the losers run for the office of POTUS. Look at hrc. She could think of nothing to contribute to the general welfare than her own obsession with 8 years in the Oral Office that her own husband besmirched.
The presidency is populariity contest. While all the real power rests with the Jews of Wall Street whom no POTUS will defy.
I guess Trump has bought into the "ISIS is the enemy" scheme, to his own detriment. Makes me wonder when these candidates start getting their orders from the DC and Pentagon "planners". Islamophobia seems to be one of the results they want over here, and Trump is certainly doing his job stoking that. These clowns never get into the real issues. Over the past 14 years (longer than that if you want to go back to when they found oil in the Middle East) we've killed more than a million Muslims and displaced many millions more. We've killed innocent people with drones and bombs. We seem to believe these things do not cause people to want to fight back. And when they do, it is called terrorism, as if we had nothing to do with it at all, or that any form of resistance or retaliation is barbaric.
Trump has painted a target on his back..every mad dog muslim killer will try to find a way to take him out..a man of true courage. most leftist and non americans posting here are gutless worms in comparison to the risk he is taking.
Maybe courage....maybe stupidity. I think he is right but I don't think it was in his best interest to say it.
Trump to unveil his Final Solution 2016 Plan shortly before the elections next year. We need to round up and shoot all muslims and bomb the mosques here in the States! That will make America great again!
F'in idiot...
Has it ever been any different?
It's not so much that they fight back, as it is who they pick for their targets. Instead of going after leadership, they go after helpless, impotent civilians who can change nothing.
Killing nameless persons on 9/11 who have nothing to do with the attacks on the middle eastern country muslims, makes the terrorist nothing more than a clueless, misguided, fanatic instead of a righteous vigilante, who with more careful planning would take out the Secretary of Defense, or some other higher up who does the targeting of their people.
Sounds all well and good if you ignore the facts that your muzzie friends are slaughtering all non muzzies in every nation in the world....including predominately muzzie scum nations, and have been doing so with a few respites to regroup for about 1400 years. Fail.
What a bunch of CHICKENSHITS. You're more likely to die from a bee sting, lightning, crossing the street, or shot by a fellow American than to die from a Muslim terror attack. But you'd be willing to send our country down the road to fascism because you're still shaking in your boots.
agree with you completely. I don't give a rat's *ss about ISIS ... We can shoot ISIS. But when America gives up the freedoms that have been the foundation of our country - we are losing everything. It doesn't matter whether Trump or Hillary gets elected - either choice means that we will have politicians who will throw those freedoms away. Trump is truly dangerous.
Love more of your posts. Are you saying Osama did do us in? Kind of looks that way when you think about it. Everyone is down on Obama...me included....but what about all the other assholes we elected who do nothing?
The same Osama Bin Laden who was our ally against the Soviets and who died in 2001 from kidney failure who was met by CIA agents in an American Hospital in Dubai who died and rose again for St. Obama to kill him thrice?
Yes, I agree about giving a Rat's *ss about ISIS or muslims, but thowing out our freedoms for something individuals could do with a 45acp is stupid.
The law will be on the books to be changed and modified by the next pres. for a different group as the target.
Try doing one of those terrorist events in a mall in Texas and you will get more head shots per minute than at a shooting range. No 'No Fly' law needed.
Give away your liberty for the current moment's boogie man...
How about sealing our southern 'walk in' border first?
Ben said this about that.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Not allowing muzzies in isn't giving away any freedoms. Fail.
Shh, let them have their Trump circle jerk. We apparently need some proto-fascist to enact free market principles and roll back government intrusion...
Hey, give the guy 4 years in the White House (the smallest place he ever lived). He's got to be better than Hillary. Think about all the headaches he's going to give Congress and the Supreme Court. This will be true Checks and Balances. Think about the beauty of it all. Nothing get's passed for the next 4 years. The Patriot Act and NDAA expire as well as a whole boatload of other hokey laws.
My advice? Vote Trump and buy Tylenol stocks because Congress will have a 4 year headache.
If it's a choice between Trump and Hillary, we are truly fucked. I'll have to vote Snoopy just so I don't have to endorse either of those facist creeps with my vote.
Ya....I am...you haven't even begun to see what's going to happen.
It isn't about today. It is about 5,10 or 20 years from now when we are like France or Belgium and there are so many Muslims here we are not the same country and everyone wonders what the hell happened. Voters like you are the problem. You aren't capable of thinking past today.
I believe in getting control of the situation instead of letting it control us. The Left is all about name calling to intimidate people and control the outcome. How great that Trump won't back down. This is what we need.
Same old tired shit they said when the Irish came to America, and the Italians, and the Asians. First we have ignorance. Blaming all Muslims for ISIS is like blaming all Christians for the KKK. Then we have fear. See original comment above.
The only difference is that THIS TIME we are going to eliminate these ragheads for the glory of the white race.
Good luck with that...considering that you don't even know the difference between a race and a religion...and that there are while muslims. You should lower you expectations of glory to finding your ass with both hands, nitwit.
Sorry bub but there's a big difference between a race and a religion that has as its core the killing and subjugation of non-believers. Don't forget while not all Muslims are terrorists pretty much all terrorists are Muslims.
Maybe it's time to return the Statue of Liberty to Paris. How's that "c'mon in" concept working out for them?
Who is shaking? I'm packing. But a temporary ban until our Congress figures it out is okay with me. It is the Art of the Deal, by putting the final say about this immigration mess right into the laps of Congress. It puts ALL the pressure on Congress to fix it. I think it's a pretty sharp move. Trump comes out with his hands clean, just like Pontius Pilate.
Personally, I thought it was brilliant of Trump to throw the whole Muslim immigration mess onto the laps of the Representitives of the People to resolve. Temporary Ban indeed!
Who can make the trains run on time?
Trump! Trump! Trump!
I don't want him making sure the trains run on time, I don't want to be slaughtered by muzzie scum while I'm on the train.
I like how Trump man handles the fag media [ no pun intended] but who is he kidding? D.C.'s number one ally- SAUDI ARABIA is the problem.
BINGO...give the man a cigar!
Sure the sheeple have forgotten trade center 1 and 2. The fucking sheeple don't even recognize that building 7 fell out of sympathy as one ZH commenter stated. They have no idea that Silverstein took out a double indemnity insurance policy for terrorism and the ink was not dry before the fucking towers fell. They don't know that a meeting was being held in the pentagram by auditors to find a "missing" 2.3 trillion dollars and these auditors and the evidence was wiped out with a missle. No plane parts...a missle. So the Donald, in all of his flamboyant style, makes a case for war from a narrative that is the biggest hoaxenfraud in the history of mankind? The Donald is either stupid, uninformed or...part of the problem.
If you want a temporary ban on immigration, great...apply it to ALL immigrants across the board...not just one group based on their religion. Read the Constitution and its amendments, Donald...try to understand the concept of equal protection under the law for ALL PERSONS, as outlined in the 5th and 14th amendments. Ban em all or let em all in...using the same criteria to vet/approve them.
>implying Muslims are people
I had a nice chuckle m8.
Just like they don't think infidels are people...good job on being just as fucking ignorant as our enemies.
God...did you get lost! You are living in 1940.
better than living in ignorance...or tyranny, chuckie darlin.
>try to understand the concept of equal protection under the law for ALL PERSONS
and this applies to non-US citizens how exactly?
Standard Disclaimer: Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!
Islam a religion? Nice try dimwit.
How are you gonna vet them when the definition of a terrorist is a nursing mother with a six month old baby?
I think I would vote for Trump just so he could stick it to the MSM for four years.
The constitution applies to citizens, not the swarthy denizens of the entire earth.
incorrect. Refer to the 14th Amendment for an example of where the words "citizen" and "all persons" are clearly distinguished.
Meanwhile, Huma Abedin (Hillary right hand girl) has announced she's a proud muslim. Um, could that be the real problem? Muslims in government? Bengahzi anyone?
<dup>
Trump did not start this war, but he appears to be serious about finishing it.
Finishing it?? He's just getting it all started!
Dup Post
LOL. Russia, China, Syria, Iran+ may have already eliminated the threat by the time he is sworn in.
One thing Obummer is good at, he makes the traditional "bad guys" look like angels.
What would come close to burning the Reichstag?
Capitol Hill?
who will they blame.....

More and more I think Trump engages in egregious bombast because, in reality, he really wants to exit the race.
I suspect he knows that whoever ends up in the white Dog House, is going to inherit an unprecedented disaster. And who'd want to be the goat for what's to come?
What about WTC 7? Even Trump forget about that one or is it a code that he gets that opp too? I don't know.
It's a marker.
By my ongoing poll, less than 8% (15 out of 195) even know about WTC7, yet 100% of those polled knew about WTC1&2.
No real anti-establishment opposition candidate would say we are at war; remind us to remember WTC1 & WTC2; and miss the obvious opportunity to mention WTC7 which proves without doubt that it was an inside job and we are living in an occupied country ... that those troops we are supporting and praying for are fighting against us.
We are oh so doomed.
Keep a video of WTC7 collapse on your phone. When someone engages you in a subject regarding this election (or other current events), test their source of information. Show them the video and ask them what they're looking at. When they don't know, remind them that the people who are shaping their opinions about the candidates are the ones who failed to inform them of the WTC7 collapse.
Caution: You will be stunned by a complete absense of reaction. About half the time I'm asked if I think we put men on the moon ... that is if I'm asked anything at all.
FUCK YOU AGAIN WITH YOUR MARKER SPAM.
You've posted the same thing six times on this thread. FUCK OFF!
Right. And I'll keep posting it. Rather than telling me to "love off" you should be encouraging everyone out there to be taking just such a poll. Are you admitting to being part of the problem?
No, I think he's suggesting that everyone who knows you and has been subjected to one of your on-the-spot re-education sessions avoids you at work and anywhere else.
avoids you
It is frightening the number of people high in the Republican party who do just that ... avoid me. I know few people in the Democrat party so I can't judge them. They are suspect for myriad other reasons and I haven't had anything to do with them from the beginning.
It's just becoming so obvious that both parties are just playing at competing. We get the same result regardless of which one claims power.
When you get avoided by trying to call attention of the obvious to those pulling the strings, that's a marker.
Your premise is all wet, ergo so is your disgusting poll. Piss off.
Your premise is all wet,
What premise? ... that the WTC7 collapse is prima facie evidence that 9/11 was an inside job? Premises get no drier! What part of the obvious are you having trouble with?
'ergo so is your disgusting poll.
My poll isn't disgusting. It's the results that are disgusting.
Piss off.
Say that to the 3,000+ that weren't in on the operation and didn't get the "heads up".
We are at war, get it through your head".
Well that was easy, whenever has America not been in a war or involved in one somehow ?
Sometimes you just have step up and state the obvious to the dimwit knucklehead crowd.
I think he was addressing congress.

You know what the "real deal is" when it comes to 911? Fuck you Cuomo.

So why did they bother to do obviously BAD Photoshop with this "entering the US" picture.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/america-photo-shows-terror-couple-entering-us/s...
Look at the woman's face and look at the edges of the face itself. Why does the face go white right at the top edge where the face meets the black thing she wear? Why is the face fuzzy and overlapping the black thing she wears on the left? Lastly look at her eyebrows that have been Photoshop adjusted. This seems to be a trademark of the obvious Photoshop jobs. They always seem to have a need to "improve" the eyebrows to make them camera ready.
My guess is the face or the beard on the guy has also been PhotoShopped in. But the have been killed and cannot defend themselves.
So, we are left with the question: "Why do a bad Photoshop effort?", when certainly the powers behind this have the cash and ability to hire someone who has the talent to do it right. Or, maybe they really are just incompetent and can never get it right. (Personally I think they want the people who are looking to notice and that creates more conflict ... because that is the point, right?)
You clearly don't have experience with photoshop, and you don't understand light sources apparently...
Why would they need to photoshop a picture of them re-entering the country together when the family itself acknoweldges he went to Saudi Arabia and brought her back? Guess what...that means they re-entered the country together. What's your contention? Family isn't denying he grew a beard either...so?
Let’s face it, we have to keep these poor patsies from coming into the country and being used for nefarious purposes by the Grade B FF Production boys.

It's time to stop being politically correct about Trump, and call him the Nazi he is. "Godwin's Law" be damned, he's a fucking Nazi. And so are his supporters. It's time to stop being politically correct about that; it's killing us.
Big deal you candy ass pussy. We need to be Nazis and show the rest of the world that it's time we are taken seriously. when we start nuking these ragheads, they will know we mean business.
Thank you for at least having the balls to stand up and proudly assert that you are a Nazi.
The virtue of Trump is that he's exposing all you fuckers. We're going to remember who the Nazis are after he goes down in flames. Hopefully that's in November 2016 and not in nuclear hellfire the following year.
Yeah, just like Hitler showed the world that he needed to be taken seriously...and showed that he meant business when he started incinerating jews. I'll take you seriously when you go over and start killing them ragheads your own self...leadership by example, right? Oh, forgot, pussies don't make good leaders.
Obama has the discretion not to enforce immigration law and Trump would have the discretion to enforce it. For that you call him a NAZI?
Why the downvotes? I'd have thought the Nazis who rally around Trump's "no more PC" line would want to stop being PC about what that fucker actually is.
You invite terrorists in to slaughter Americans, Trump doesn't and for that he's a n a z i? You are indeed warped, get well, get well soon, we want you to get well.
No, just like with the Germans, the majority of those that follow this dipstick are not Nazis...they are just useful idiots...sheeple who will back whomever makes them feel safe and special.
If Trump had any respect for the principles this country was founded upon...or our Constitution...he would simply call for a temporary ban on ALL immigration until such time as the process can be reviewed and improved upon, rather than applying it only to those with certain religious beliefs. Apply the law or ban equally, or not at all.
>Apply the law or ban equally, or not at all.
Congratulations on believing in unicorns.
What people need to pay attention to is this expansion of the "no-fly list" philosophy wherein some unknown executive process prevents people from going about their business and infringes on their rights.
Immediately after the California shooting it seems at least the NYT and McClatchy were simultaneously on board with extending "no-fly list" to "no-buy list" for guns and then on Sunday here comes Obama to curtail your second amendment rights based on zero due process.
This is dangerous stuff and if it makes it easier to view the world consider the current Democratic Party to be the Nazis of our age.
Smart technocrats using minorities like #blacklivesmatter to march in the streets like Brownshirts to destabilize the country and consolidate power into the computers of their favored big businesses.
This is what fascism is - the consolidation of government and corporate interests into a single ruling elite.
The Inner Party is composed of neocons poised to never give up control of the nation and will expressly use every administrative tactic to keep average citizens from organizing politically and economically.
It is necessary under this and the any future regime to keep people in even more crippling debt, liberate what few remaining assets they might have and have a cloud of criminal surveillance hanging over our heads at all times so that you can be further detached as active political threat.
In time if you don't have a Facebook or Google+ account you will considered suspicious.
Talk to someone that lived through the STASI or Cultural Revolution.
They see the storm-clouds forming.
The recent talk is about taking guns and passports from US citizens - our natural rights
It's a dangerous time people.
The fastest way ever to take anyone's weapons.
The no-fly list.
What a joke.
The no-fly list is going to swell 10X in the next year as political enemies start going on, and then 100X more in the first year of the next administration. Good luck leaving the country then.
I want DTrump to win just because he has balls the size of watermelons. I want other countries to be shiing their pants because they don't know wtf is Trump's next move. I'd rather have a little trnasparent chaos in the White House than the typical bullshitting PAC motive pansie-ass politicians.
(vented)
The Media is doing everything to distroy Trump.
The GOP would rather have Hillary.
Fucking Cuomo...the whole famdamily of those bleeding heart asshats....
First, Mario.....oi
Then Andy boy.....jesus are NY state voters fucking dumb...NYC needs to be a city/state..the whole fucking metro area...
Now this priss Chris.....fuck me
Love to see Trump bitch slap this little libby fag.....
Jeeeeeeesus Christ I am so glad I don't zombie watch/have on as a drone MSM....all of them...
Lots of my friends do....and it's interesting....most are totally UN-informed.....totally buy into the bullshit....and I worry for them....
It's not NY state voters just for the record. Most of rural NY is as red as any other good state, it's the city populations that turn every election blue and drag the rest of the state down the tubes with them.
If we don’t concede to ISIS, we are Nazis. LOL
They fight. We don't. They win.

These liberal talking head morons are pathetic. They would have lost every major war of the 20th century. How can you tell the difference between an ISIS agent or someone claiming to be a university student? You can't is the simple answer. It's a simple idea, don't invite enemy agents into your country during war. They sure didn't stop Faakook and Maadick. The Hitler thing has become so overused, it really has lost it's power, besides Hitler got along famously with the muslims.
Good job applying the same logic the gun-control nuts apply when attempting to ban Americans from owning/buying fireams.
Your right. How's this logic? We should pass an amendment banning Islam, then keep them all out.
I'll tell you the same thing I tell the gun grabbers...go for it and let us know how it works out for you.
It's true about Hitler and the Muslims so far as it goes. But that was an enemy of my enemy thing that would have swiftly ended once the common enemy was out of the way.
Really? what about building 7 ?!?!?
Precisely my thought..
That's what I love about Trump. He doesn't apologize like all the other cuckservatives, who grovel and recant whenever they stray off the reservation.
But hey, what about WTC 7? I wonder is Donald giving us and Larry ('pull it') Silverstein a subtle message here?
'We re at Wolfowitz War" and if we the west persists eventually Russia and China will be forced to counter attack massively and if the US escalates then mushroom clouds will begin to adorn all of America. Russia is stalling until they can get their S 500 system in place over the next few years. Not that it will matter as nuclear fallout circles the world and those surface survivors from various nations work together with mini nukes, looking for elites holed up under ground to eliminate once and for all. Nature will eventually recover without the ungodly influences of human kind.
i have an idea lets track their movements using NSA data sweeps. are we alright with that?
Walls work -
Behind high walls, new S.African city proud to be a world apartGreen, tidy, with safe public areas and winding bicycle paths -- Steyn City is a vast "self-sufficient" development outside Johannesburg, that highlights growing controversy over South Africa's divided urban society.
The 800-hectare (2,000-acre) site, surrounded by high walls, is being marketed as a luxury, car-free settlement that will provide everything from a hospital to golf courses, shopping malls and offices.

USA may be at 'WAR', Mexico and Canada are not.
Your Nothern neighbor may want to put up a wall to protect its natural resources, airspace and citizens safe from the murdering CIA, NSA, Pentagon DC and Wall Street types who continue to attack sovereign nations who did it no harm.
Keep your Vietnams, Iraqa, Syrias, Ukraines to yourself. This world doesn't need a "world's policeman" or a "super power". There are more people getting blown away in Chicago and Detroit in a single day than in many populated areas in a year. Fix youself first methinks.
Methinks the same.
I'll stop blaming ALL muslims when the leftists stop blaming ALL gun owners
Donald Jerkoff Trump = Adolf Hitler & Joe McCarthy
Master of YOUR Universe..................
Darn tootin'.
Trump is right, you know.
Please, please! Let's not compare this man with Adolf Hitler. Whilst I am not a fan of the fascist dictator with the small moustache, I think he was a bit more intelligent than the guy with the funny hair and the comic book name!
I really think that through intolerance Trump will intentionally self-destructs.
He will appear as progressively more of a whack-job and Hitlery, who is the real whack-job, will try to appear progressively more compassionate and reasonable. Working together they most likely plan to get Killery elected.
This is very sad.
I disagree, Trump is galvinizing support with common sense that crosses party lines. Many Americans are frustrated with the strange global agenda that puts foreign interests ahead of our own. Many are also tired of hearing the media constantly parrot the PC narrative and talking points.
The Hitler comparison is so desperate and idiotic. FDR put japanese americans into internment camps during WW2. He fire bombed entire german cities. Anyone comparing FDR to Hitler?
Truman nuked japan killing hundreds of thousands japanese civilians. Was he like Hitler?
Both sides committed war crimes during WWII, but to the victor go the spoils. The biggest one being the one to do the prosecution. If you need further proof, watch "Fog of War" about Mcnamara.
The victor always gets to write the history books.
Very few people take that into consideration when doing objective analysis.
This is really HUGE! With an EO like he's talking about, Trump can dump the whole shebang right into Congress's lap. Now they have to figure it out. In the end, Trump comes out smelling like a rose when he rescinds the EO. Brilliant! The Art of the Deal.
This sounds like big talk, but it isn't. He's forcing Congress' hand. These slimey politicians in Congress are watching the polls. Trump just forced them to fish, or cut bait on this issue before the election. As I said...Brilliant!
When Trump comes out in front of thousands of people and says something new, he does it for a reason. He's not stupid. Neither are "bought and paid for" politicians. They watch and try to find an angle to pocket these multitudes at election time. I think Trump is smarter than the pols. See my comment above.
Trump appears to have More guts than anyone else. take hillary always pandering to islam, as if she fears the terrorist suicide bomber will make an attempt on her if she spoke against them...
Trump has won those who respect strength and courage. and has shown the spineless politicians he is running against for the cowards they are.
So these masses of people on foot and leaving their homeland to escape a barbaric and brutal ruling system are somehow vetted through an extensive process like that guy on tv was trying to tell Donald Trump? Its their homeland. They will never be at peace with theirselves anywhere else. They should stand and fight.
ISIS is executing a campaign to terrorize and polarize Europe. The organization has inspired, resourced, and directed attempted and successful attacks in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Turkey since January 2014 -

Just like gold and oil, the vast majority of Zerohedge devotees are going to be shocked when Trump wins in a landslide. Even my Hispanic freinds want the border closed and Muslims held accountable.
I know what you mean. My wife is Hispanic and loves Trump, so do her friends. They want the border closed as well, since they are all legal residents or citizens that did it the honest and legal way. Trust me, it costs a small fortune. They hate to see freeloaders picking their tax pockets. Besides, Latinos are just about 100% Christian. They could give a flying f*#k about these camel jockeys (except for the Christian ones).
What he is not saying is, we are at war from within. We have 'leaders' who want to allow our enemies into our country, and take away our right to defend ourselves at the same time.
Exactly, this is the truth, I couldnt agree more.
Hmmmn....that was Benedict Arnold's MO....didn't work out too well for him.
Trump doubles dumb, double plus good.
Good grief. Can we please just stop giving this asshole with a mouth any press at all? Maybe he will disappear back into the very dark place he comes from.
Yeah, I didn't like that tv anchor guy either.
Trump owned that bent over libtard.
I'm a big fan of Ron Paul and I get the blowback argument.
That said, I've come to a fundamental awakening that Islam is incompatible with the US Constitution and the values it embodies. Islam is not just a religion - it is a political movement that wants to convert the world by force. The final straw in my awakening was Trump's words last night relating a poll that said that a majority of American Muslims agree that they should have a choice of being governed by the US Constitution or Sharia Law. Religious tolerance is a two-way street - Christians, Jews, Budhists, Sikhs and Hindus understand that and are compatible with the US Constitution. But the Quran teaches Muslims a very different worldview - one of domination and death. I stand with Trump.
Donald J. Trump Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration
(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policyreleased data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.
I'm sorry @EndTheFed, ZH won't let me up arrow you more than once.
Islam is a culture, a religion, AND A FORM OF GOVERNMENT all rolled into one. I understand Muslims well. I spent a long time studying their history, culture, and religion. Islam is like Communism in that is allows for no compromise for rational arguments and directs its followers to TAKE power by any means possible. So, I agree Islam is NOT compatible with western ideals / culture and certainly not with the US Constitution.
You and I would like the part about sharing the young women. Let the book hugers have the constitution.
"World Trade Center #1 and World Trade Center #2"....and how about the one that never got hit by a plane and fell down into a neat little pile anyway?.....and how about the Donald's "dancing arabs" who were really israelis. Trump needs some advice from Rebekah Ryan of Methodical Deception fame or other 9/11 truth tellers.
Trump ain't stupid. He's a cold, calculating S.O.B.. Now is not the time to bring up WTC #7. If elected, we have the right time.
Now is not the time to bring up WTC #7. If elected, we have the right time.
Now is even "after" the time to bring it up. The earlier, the better. The establishment and the media can't bury that comment (presuming he keeps driving it home) and eventually the 92% who don't know about it will get a clue.
Then, those who have failed to mention it for going on 15 years now have some serious backpeddling to do.
If Trump waits to the last minute (or if he is elected) without mentioning it, we can only assume he is just another red herring.
Islam is one of MANY problems facing people who want to be FREE. Statism, which includes within it a plethora of additional problems, is the source of so much strife and destruction.
Trump pointing out ONE problem out many does not give him very high marks in my book. He's terrible and foolish in so many ways. He's the lesser of two evils if you were to compare him to Hillary or retard-communist Sanders. I refused to vote for the lesser or two evils in the same way that I refused to vote for Romney over 0bama. Rand Paul is the least worst of the lot. If only people had listed to Ron Paul who was right about everything.
70%
I agree with Ron Paul. It's a shame that Rand is playing to the establishment. I didn't see that coming. Trump doesn't just shoot his mouth off. There is a plan. I'll bet that he's really speaking to Congress. He's saying "get the job done on this immigration BS before I'm elected". Then he doesn't have to do anything except take the credit. Don't just take his words at face value. Think of him as a cold, calculating, son of a bitch. He's forcing the politicos to come up with an answer to this Omama fiasco before he's elected. It's like Patton said about Rommel after he just defeated the Dessert Fox, "Rommel, you magnificient bastard! I read your book."
OK. Go back to your refrigerator box and suck your thumb.
No one knows what the hell to do with your brilliant insight. I guess we'll just do nothing.
Yes, and your "Gotta' do' summtin'" attitude is what cause most of the mess we are in. Idiot. Do you really think there was a distinguishable difference between 0bama and Romney? If so, you are part of the problem.
Interesting.
Just what the world needs. A militant "do nothing" movement.
What do you guys do at your meetings?
No. How about "Let's not destroy all the secular governments that held radical islam in check". YOU wanted the chaos in the middle east that happend largely as a result of US destabilizing actions. You wanted that by voting for 0bama or Romney. Do you not understand that, idiot?
Have you asked yourself "Am I a neo-con?"
Your teaching style is a bit lame:
No.
No.
I think you need a bit more work on Socratic dialogue.
You're not tenured, are you?
Rand Paul is the least worst of the lot. If only people had listed to Ron Paul who was right about everything.
Both have been afraid to mention WTC7. It's beyond belief they don't know about it.
As insane as this sounds, the more Muslims expose their true intentions through violence, the more hope there is for Europe to save itself from the invading horde. Trump is going to win if there is another Muslim terrorist attack.
what i like about the donald is his ability, whether inappropriate or not, to raise an issue that must be discussed.
Kinda what we need, very refreshing. We do need to talk about all the elephants in the room. They dont go away by themselves.
the funny thing about that is the election industry is responsible for creating the issues it wanted their candidates to talk about while ignoring substantive issues just because they are too controversial offending too many people. the elction professionals have completely foregotten the first rule of leadership is conviction in the mission. all great leaders believe in what they are doing. i think trump is nutz. he is a lot of fun, though, precisely because his mission is to bring up the issues no one in politics wants to confront directly. he has already laid waste to a slew of candidates because they have nothing of themselves to offer. granted, trump is now a well trsained actor and has a thourough understanding of the way things work but most of all he is like a muckraker only he is running for potus. i don't think he would do this without some support behind the scenes, private and public.
what is his game? that is the intrigue. does he really want to rule the world and save the usa? is the muslim issue just a way to bring up foreign policy in the region? vis a vis isis. if tulsi gabbard is yapping about usa support of isis then it is common knowledge on the hill. trump is a shrewd character. he said he doesn't care why they want to kill us just that they want to kill us all and we should try to kill them. them is isis. isis is the usa.
Trump stories get some clicks...hey Tyler? Hehe.... The Trumpinator knows how to deal with the morons in Media... present company excepted of course....ahem.
