UNDER fire for anti-Muslim remarks, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has postponed a planned trip to Israel, saying he did not want to put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans said the USA “should not ban” Muslims from other countries from entering the country. He is giving them a great propaganda tool.
“You know, he said we’d have a meeting”.
Brokaw wasn’t the only one to connect Trump to ISIS – The Daily Show host Trevor Noah and special correspondent Hasan Minhaj leveled a series of criticisms against Trump, ultimately calling him the “white ISIS”, or “WHISIS”.
Trump also told Lemon, “I am the least racist person that you have ever met”, and he confidently predicted that will win both the Hispanic and African-American vote. Russell Simmons, who said that he has been friends with Trump for the last three decades, wrote an open letter on his site the Global Grind explaining that he feels he has no choice but to speak out against him. “So I would say lots of different reasons”, Trump said.
“The State of Israel respects all religions and protects stringently the rights of all its citizens”, a statement released by Netanyahu’s office said Wednesday.

“Trump leads across multiple categories of voters from a high of 35% among those who wish to create a database of Muslims in the U.S.to a low of 22% among Evangelical Christians, who will make up almost 60% of the S.C. GOP Presidential Primary electorate”, Huffmon said. “Yes, I do think people have overreacted, which does not mean I support the tone of everything Donald Trump has said, because I don’t”.
