Donald Trump’s proposal to use a religious test to prevent Muslims from entering the United States is anathema to the values upon which our country was founded.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s criticism of his widely condemned calls to ban Muslim entry to the United States was “modest”, but still “inappropriate”.

There are those who claim there could never be another fascist era like what happened in Germany and led to World War II and the extermination of millions of people due to their religion. “We will certainly be keeping a close eye on things”. “But, you know, the jury is out”, Carson stated. “If it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they are being betrayed”. But Trump denied that world leaders are “distancing themselves” from him. Carson told ABC News Friday he has “no intention of running as an independent” but said he doesn’t “want to be a part of corruption”. Im supposed to be on the other side writing checks, he said. The poll had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 5 percentage points.
