“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation”.
The Islamic faith is “not concurrent” with the US Constitution, according to Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson, who was firm that he would not support a Muslim President, in an interview with NBC News. Trump noted Obama has said he’s a Christian, saying “I’m willing to take him at his word on that”.
“He had a “Trump” lovely shirt on, which shows that he’s a fan”, Trump said. Trump wrote. In another tweet, he said: “If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man’s right of free speech”. But, for me, the most important thing about being president is you have leadership skills, you know what you’re doing and you can help fix this country and raise this country.

The questioner at the New Hampshire event last week said there was a problem with “Muslims” and went on to say that he believed there were terrorist training camps in the United States.
Under attack from critics for the interaction, on Saturday, Trump sent out a series of tweets defending why he decided not to correct the supporter.
“Do you believe that Islam is consistent with the Constitution?” asked Chuck Todd.
“We do have a problem with radical Muslims, there’s no question about that”, Trump said Sunday. “Some people have said it already happened”. Trump said on Twitter. Obama is a Christian who was born in Hawaii. “You know he’s not even an American“, the man said.
“We can be politically correct and say there is no problem whatsoever, but the fact is, there is a problem with some and it’s a very severe problem and it’s a problem that’s taking place all over the world“, he told host Chuck Todd. That’s why we don’t give our leaders religious tests, and that’s why our leaders don’t (or at least shouldn’t) get to inject their religion into the public sphere. But you know what?
An earlier Gallup poll found that the majority of Americans Muslims are loyal to their country and optimistic about their future in the United States.
Four years ago, Trump had pressed Obama to release his birth certificate – which Obama did.

“I think it is certainly something that could happen”, he said.
