Insisting that the United States “would have to be strong”, Trump said that waterboarding Islamic State extremists would be “peanuts” compared with the group’s beheadings of American and British hostages. “And it’d be interesting if he personally saw it. That would be quite interesting since it didn’t happen”.

He also renewed his calls for a database on Syrian refugees, as well as an increase in surveillance at mosques, particularly in NY City, following the terrorist attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead, reported CNN.

The Republican establishment is reportedly planning a “guerrilla campaign” to unite donors from rival camps into a single anti-Trump force to “defeat and destroy” the real estate mogul, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“Donald Trump chose to come through a 75 percent black city and campaign when he’s been making all these disparaging remarks about black people, about Latino people”, said Southall. There is dishonesty here, but it is on the part of NPR, the NY Times and the Associated Press, not Donald Trump.
“Get him the hell out of here, will you, please?” “We have no idea who these people are”. The Post story includes no source for this information, and we found no evidence that any of these allegations ever stuck.

The GOP hopeful then added, “I think if it had happened, I would remember it, but, you know, there could be things I forget, too”.
“I saw the film of it, yes”, he said. And if those assumptions are true, one wonders whether the New Jersey Republican will soon look back at this period and wonder what might have happened if he’d shown a little more courage.
Asked what kind of film, he said: “The news reels”.
“Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing”, Trump said.
