Painting a grim picture of a world under attack and a homeland threatened by terrorism, Trump argued only he could be trusted to confront the present dangers. “We will work side by side with our friends in the Middle East”, including Israel and leaders in Egypt and Jordan and others “who recognize that this ideology of death must be extinguished”.
“If I become President, the era of nation-building will be ended”.
This is particularly rich because many of Trump’s most avid supporters are white supremacists who constantly preach bigotry and intolerance – would Trump bar his pal Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party from entering the country, for example? “We will stop processing visas from those areas until such time as it is deemed safe to resume based on new circumstances or new procedures”, Trump said. Trump accused Clinton of lacking the “mental and physical stamina” to take on IS and called for an “extreme” ideological vetting of immigrants seeking entry into the US. “Our country has enough problems, we don’t need more, and these are problems like we’ve never had before”. The GOP candidate covered various topics in his speech, including security measures he claimed were a central part a plan to defeat so-called Islamic State (IS), a battle he said was “akin to the Cold War struggle against communism”.
“How can Trump put this forward with a straight face when he opposes marriage equality and selected as his running mate the man who signed an anti-LGBT law in IN?” he said in a statement.
It continued: “It’s a cynical ploy to escape scrutiny of his outrageous proposal to ban an entire religion from our country and no one should fall for it”.

Trump has alluded to such ideas before, but he went further on Monday by writing the proposal into a major policy speech.
Labor Day, which falls on September 5 this year, marks the end of US summer vacations and traditionally launches the final phase of the long USA election season.

Vice President Joe Biden speaking at a campaign event with Hillary Clinton said that Mr Trump’s claim that Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton had “founded” IS proved his views to be “dangerous” and “un-American”, and that it had made USA soldiers in Iraq less safe already.
Trump did not renew his controversial call for a ban on all Muslim immigrants.
“The notion that we can do very good vetting on refugees coming out of Afghanistan and Syria and Libya is nonsense”. “Only those who we expect to flourish in our country – and to embrace a tolerant American society – should be issued immigrant visas”.
The campaign official specifically noted as an example that “large numbers of people” in Afghanistan “may have attitudes about women or attitudes about Christians or gays that would be considered oppressive, even violent”.
He also warned that any “guests in our country who are preaching hate will be asked to return home immediately and if they don’t do it, we will return them home”.
