Discussion: Trump Says His 'Rich' Muslim Friends Could Enter Country Under A Ban

He said that foreign leaders and athletes who are Muslim would be allowed to come to the United States.

ISIS Leadership: We just love Trump. He is helping our recruitment worldwide and is now welcoming us to USofA. Osama would have been proud.

Osama bin Laden was actually pretty wealthy.

A real-life genius dealmaker might every once in a while acknowledge that deals involve weighing benefits and drawbacks and getting the most favorable mix of them under the circumstances. It seems Trump is really just a promoter, of the cheap hustling carnival-barker ilk, and his only argument is that if you do what he wants, there will only be benefits, with no drawbacks whatsoever.

With a ā€œgreat brainā€ and who thought of every issue before anybody else and ā€œput it out thereā€ā€¦whatever.

Let’s see; sun rose in the east this morning, water flows downhill, Trump’s still an offensive idiot - check, check, and check. He’s going to have to do better than this to win today’s news cycle…

Republican zealots don’t do ā€œnuanceā€.
It’s ā€œkill em all and let Christ sort it outā€ or nothing.
This will not go over well with his ā€œsupportersā€ (if they even hear about it.)

ā€œI have been called by more Muslims saying what you are doing is a great thing, not a bad thing.ā€

Odd that he doesn’t name any, and I haven’t exactly heard of any stampede of Muslims declaring themselves to be supporters of Trump.

Seems as though I would have heard at least one speak up.

Maybe if I listen more closely?

PS: More Muslims than what?

Because if you can’t trust people with money who can you trust? People with money have connections and those connections are the best vetting procedure available bar none.

Right because Osama Bin laden wasn’t connected in any way to the Saudi Royal family. Under Trump’s ban Osama would never get in and the people he vouched for would never get in… Feel safer already!

Yes, I am being sarcastic.

How has such an epically incompetent man come so far?

I’m not being snarky…I’m very serious here. How could any rational thinking human support a buffoon like trump for a serious position like President of the United States? He’s got zero office holding experience, has no understanding of state craft. Doesn’t understand the functions of the three branches of government and supports boorish behavior at his rallies. And I haven’t even got into his …ummm… less than savory personal and business history.
Then the hair and hands.

Donald, thank you for confirming that laws only apply to the ā€œlittle people.ā€ It was nice to hear that from a rich guy but us ā€œlittle peopleā€ have known that fact for a long, long time.

Human are more rationalizing than rational. What pushes your emotional button (fear anger being strongest)? You will find some reason to support the person who says he/she can make it go away. being rational is hard work.

Hmmm … Muslims for Trump. Sounds vaguely like Jews for Hitler.

I wonder how that worked out …

I know that more than most having been a research scientist. I spent 4+ decades following evidence and being logical. The scientific method was my mantra which is : formulate a hypothesis and then test it then follow where the evidence leads. It is hard to give that up. after 47 years.
If one looks at the evidence about Trump one should logically run like a scared deer away from this buffoon. The last thing to do would be to vote for him.
