Donald Trump's proposal on stopping Muslims entering the USA?

Posted: May 28, 2016

Is he being sensible or just pouring fuel on the fire of paranoia in the USA?

Given that just over 3000 people have been killed in terrorist attacks in the USA between the start of 2001 to the end of 2014, yet in the same time period over 400,000 have been killed by guns, it seems to my mind to be a bit subversive to get the populace whipped up into a frenzy over terrorist attacks more than gun control laws.

What do you guys think? Would Trump's words go down well over here?

He said there should be a "total and complete" shutdown of the country's borders to Muslims, "Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life."

how he plans to keep Muslims out of the country. There is no religion present on anyone's passport.

They could go by the hijabs for the women. - nm

Adding fuel to paranoia is Trump's standard M.O. - Divisivness is his strong suit.

Legitimate concern about mass influx of unvetted Muslims - is neither paranoid nor divisive.

The ability to think rationally is such a desirable thing when we discuss ISSUES instead of PERSONALITIES.

Trump's pep rally-style doesn't - really

contain many details on just how he plans to carry these things out.

The sheep are all hyped up and 'mad as hell and not going to take it anymore' but what is Trump's plan to achieve what he's 'promising?' Really, I'm asking, what is his plan?

What difference does it make? Obama lovers voted - sm

twice for a man who made promises that he never delivered on. Did you forget that "hype." I didn't. The one thing that sticks out is "I will reduce our 8 trillion dollar debt and if I don't then I should NOT be President." 21 trillion dollars later.......... Sanders is promising "free" and terrorism is related to climate change (huh??), Hillary, well.... email server, Benghazi, cheating Bill...... 60+ years of combined service between her and Bernie on the public payroll that got us into this mess! Yes, I think I will stick with TRUMP! No way he is going to be worse than a community organizer.

Democrats use the same old tired "you're a racist, homophobe, bigot" etc. - to try and describe their

Then tell people like DT to pay their taxes?

The top 1% pays 50% of all taxes collected. - That means they are paying more than the bottom

[ In Reply To ..]
90%. Sound like they are paying more than their "fair share" to me. Don't confuse individuals with corporations. They pass that along to their customers at the wholesale and retail level. That means when Bernie says he's going to raise taxes, the consumer will end up paying.

Since they have 90% of the wealth - burtthecat

[ In Reply To ..]
that seems reasonable to me. Still, many do not pay or have not paid in the past, including DT. Get him to release his tax information!

But if you're making a living wage, you'll be - able to afford taxes and retail items.

[ In Reply To ..]
Without a living wage, we're hosed. Corporations are still going to continue to raise the prices of their products, regardless of where we're at financially.

Details - are not on his webste

Plenty misinformation about immigration but no details on how he will identify Muslims and keep them out of the country.

Again, how does he plan to identify Muslims? - nm

Been to the EU lately? It is a war zone - Is that what you want?

Who are you people? There are recommendations women not go out at night due to rape in one of the more peaceful lands (Switzerland) we have. I have been paying very close attention over the last 15 years, devoting myself to understand exactly what is going on. The attempt to undermine the middle class throughout the globe through "fighting terrorism" while arming and funding from very very deep pockets while bombing their countries and taking their resources is what I see. What do you see?

The media is a misinformation propagandists' machine which has led to 15 years of Nothing But Lies.

AMERICA FIRST. If you have a problem with that, then MOVE.

but I was in the Netherlands, Sweden and Belgium in April. My nephew goes to college in Germany (tuition free) and is thoroughly enjoying the experience. I love to travel and will be going to Italy, Spain, France and Portugin the fall.

The last time I was in Germany, I had to wait - at Checkpoint Charlie

[ In Reply To ..]
to get into East Germany to see my family, due directly to a leader who had a premise of ethnocentrism, racism, excluding large groups of people and an ego the size of Mexico.

Things are vastly improved now, I'd say.

Just went to France - in early May

Lots of police and military presence but more tourists than ever. Could barely get inside the Louvre. Could barely walk in the streets at Montmartre. Everyone apparently having a good time. Everything bustling at night. You can stay home and padlock your bunker. I will continue to travel.

I saw it on the news more than once, and many saw it in person - in Jersey City, Patterson, Brooklyn and elsewhere. They have reported these sightings. Even the Washington Post reported it (for some reason, a week later on 09/18), saying this: "In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners’ plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on roo ...

It was just reported this morning that Mr. Trump made his millions and millions by taking advantage of every tax break and loophole that he could. That being said, what makes anyone think that if he became president he would get rid of these tax loopholes and make things fairer for the lower and middle class? We are the ones that have been and are paying his share of taxes he should be paying. What he is doing may be legal, but in my opinion it is morally offensive. ...

Donald Trump won't reveal his plan to defeat ISIS because he hasn't got one.

He "used" the bankruptcy system in order to make money and made a lot of money because it was a good business deal for him. He bought a business, did not make the payments, then when it was in bankruptcy procedings, he made a real ...
