The White House on Tuesday challenged Republicans to denounce their party’s presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, claiming his proposal to ban Muslims from travelling to the US should disqualify him from being commander-in-chief.
Painting Trump as a “carnival barker” with “fake hair” whose campaign has a “dustbin of history” quality, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Trump’s proposals were unconstitutional.
“What Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president,” said Earnest, describing his comments variously as “offensive” and “toxic.”
The unusually strident language from the White House reflects a concern about the impact of Trump’s comments on US Muslims and the fight against the Islamic State group, but it also indicates the White House spies a political opportunity ahead of the 2016 election.
Earnest was quick to pounce on leading Republicans who condemned Trump’s remarks, but said they would still support him if he were the party nominee.
“What he said is disqualifying and any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either,” he said.

Trump must be critically examined for psyco.
ReplyDeleteTrump's statement is a practical solution to a practical problem. Free access to Muslims, particularly from the Middle East is an open invitation to Terrorists. Unless this policy is enforced, the US and the West will soon pay heavily for it. Reason is that Islam has the theology of violence against all non-Muslims whose offence is simply that they are non-Muslims. Robert Spencer of the Jihad Watch sufficiently and excellently explained this in a presentation recently. Those who insist that Islam is peace are simply being economical with the truth. Jihad against infidels is a religious duty for any true and committed Muslim.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump's prescription is the most sensible thing to do to safeguard the security of America - period.

ReplyDeleteTrump statement is devoid of wisdom.This type of person can not rule his home successfully not to talk of USA.
ReplyDeleteHere is a man who speaks the truth many are afraid to speak. US Government has already started doing that indirectly since September 11, what Trump is a fact the American Government and many of its citizen are shying away from. America represent the symbol of orderliness, freedom and respect to right of all races, bringing America on their knees is a victory for the Islamic nation. Is unfortunate that majority of Muslims claiming to be moderate are actually sympathetic with the ideas and ideology of these radicals. Coming out openly to tell them in their faces what they are doing and what they should may help the wave of radicalism all nations faces. In this war, there is no standing on the fence, you either stay and fight or you are in their camp. That is what is happening in the northern Nigeria. when you hear Muslims are killed by the Boko Haram, they are telling you there is no middle ground in this war.
ReplyDeleteHypocrisy! Hypocrisy!! Hypocrisy!!! Why castigate Trump for saying the truth. Since 11th September 2001, which group of people has been causing trouble for the Americans? I will personally encourage and mobilize voters for Trump.
ReplyDeleteBut that's the truth, that is the only medicine to solve their heartless problem for the whole world
