I read the analyses about his appeal, and they make sense and all. But part of me will always, always be gobsmacked that anyone could think these ignorant blatherings could possibly come out of the mouth of a potential President. It’s a revelation. : (

Trump: "I think Islam hates us."
Wait, who is Islam?
Please educate this “presidential candidate” that “Islam” isn’t a person.

Edward R. Murrow is rolling over in his grave.
When is a “serious” journalist (not John Oliver) going to step up and call this man and his supporters out for what they are, and what they are doing to our country?

Well, Trump provides a multitude of reasons as to why so many people, at home and abroad, hate him. Like an unrepentant alcoholic, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is about him!

Islam hates “us” in the same way that Christianity hates the poor, minorities, gays, and liberals.

“And we can’t allow people coming into this country who have this hatred of the United States.”
I.e., all of them. What country likes, or trusts, the U.S. anymore?
The Islamic states have been telling us for more than 60-years what they hate about the U.S. and we ignored them every time. And now they can point to Drumpf, Cruz, Rubio, et al. And in the background, “The base”; the Children of Reagan™, cheering them on when they hear “carpet-bomb them”, “deport them”, “kill their families”.
What can go wrong?

Us? Who’s the us your talking about? Now, I’ll admit that Islam probably hates you though.

“There’s a tremendous hatred there, there’s a tremendous hatred.”
There goes Donnie talking about his big poll numbers again…
“I think Islam hates us,” Trump responded. “There’s a tremendous hatred there, there’s a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There is an unbelievable hatred of us.”
“In Islam itself?” Cooper pressed.
“You’re gonna have to figure that out, OK?” Trump replied. “But there’s a tremendous hatred. And we have to be very vigilant. We have to be very careful. And we can’t allow people coming into this country who have this hatred of the United States.”
Well there is this country and it starts with an I

After all, imagine what could go wrong if that type of ‘diplomatic work’ went sideways…

Keep in mind that the GOP has said it will support this bigot if nominated, because a Clinton Presidency would be so much worse. They should be held accountable every single day for this.

“You’re gonna have to figure that out, OK?” Trump replied. “But there’s a tremendous hatred.” (Trump replied to Cooper asking, “In Islam itself?”
To which, Cooper should have replied, “No, it’s YOU who are making the accusation – YOU have to figure it out.” Come one, Anderson. Journalism 101.

The CNN host then asked Trump whether the U.S. was at war with Christianity or “radical Christianity.”
“Well, it’s radical, but it’s very hard to define. It’s very hard to separate. Because you don’t know who’s who,” Trump said in response.
Adjusted to fit the missing, but oh so obvious…
