A global firestorm erupted on Tuesday over Donald Trump’s call to bar Muslims from entering the United States, as the White House branded him a “carnival barker” unfit to lead and his campaign rivals rounded on him.
As Scott noted this morning, Donald Trump has called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”. “It’s been a long series of statements like this that have been just foolish”.
Rauner says he “strongly, strongly” disagrees with Trump, although he said cooperation between federal agencies and the states on the background of refugees could be better.
The Arizona Republic’s efforts to reach McCain and Flake for elaboration were not immediately successful.
Comments by USA presidential hopeful Donald Trump that parts of London are “so radicalised the police are afraid for their lives” have been attacked as outrageous and appalling.

Comartin said Trump’s comments could even put Muslim people at risk of physical harm, in more extreme cases.
Trump subsequently likened the move to President Franklin Roosevelt’s wartime decision to detain Japanese-Americans in internment camps, an episode historically viewed as a national shame that, decades later, resulted in the federal government paying $1.6 billion in reparations.
Many Republican leaders including House Speaker Paul Ryan denounced it as well.
The idea announced by Trump Monday evening drew swift rebukes, some from overseas.
According to the poll, 68 percent of the Republican front-runner’s supporters would continue to support Trump in an independent bid for the White House. “This plan does not reflect the values of the Republican Party in any way”.
“Anything that bolsters ISIL’s narrative and pits the United States against the Muslim faith is certainly not only contrary to our values but contrary to our national security”, Cook told a news briefing, using an acronym for Islamic State.
The official said the State Department was working with Trump on security preparations and consulting about arranging meetings there. Trump, he said, is making new enemies of people “who came to our side in Iraq and Afghanistan and who are under siege in their own countries”. Beyond his basic point that Trump’s comments disqualify him from being president was the bigger point that the Republican Party’s support for and enabling of Trump also makes them unfit for the presidency.
Trump has been the front runner among the other GOP candidates, despite what some are calling “Anti-Muslim rhetoric”.

“Well, I think this whole notion that somehow we need to say no more Muslims and just ban a whole religion goes against everything we stand for and believe in”, he said.
