STEPHANOPOULOS: You know, the police say that didn’t happen and all those rumors have been on the internet for a few time. Fulop said that Trump, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, either has a faulty memory or is lying. “That’s a whole different level and I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation”, he said in an interview to ABC News.
Confusion still prevails over whether or not Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presidential front-runner, wants to set up a database of Muslims living in the United States. “I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they’re doing to us”. I definitely want a database and other checks and balances.
The billionaire NY real-estate developer also argued for a programme to monitor activity at USA mosques. You could ask him if we should use a catapult to send illegals back over the border to Mexico and he’d probably just say, “We need to be tougher”. Thousands of people were cheering. All I would do, certainly there are certain hot spots and everybody knows they’re hot spots.
He tells ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that the country needs “to get very serious about our intelligence” to ensure Americans’ safety. “I saw it”, Trump said by phone to host George Stephanopoulos, adding, “I know it might not be politically correct for you to talk about, but there were people cheering as that building came down”.
“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down”.
Trump also accused residents of New Jersey of cheering the September 11, 2001, fall of the World Trade Center towers.
In New Hampshire and SC Trump’s support has fallen by 6 and 5 percentage points, respectively, but he remains firmly ahead of the G.O.P. field in both states.
“On Friday, the NY Times passed along that “[Trump’s] campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, insisted that Mr. Trump had been asked leading questions by the NBC reporter under “blaring music” and that he had in mind a terrorist watch list, not a registry of Muslims”.

Though refugees admitted to America undergo between 18 months and two years of screening by intelligence agencies, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, James Comey, said that a lack of information from Syria makes it impossible to offer an “absolute assurance” that extremists would be spotted. After calling Hispanics rapists and criminals, he now wants to create a national database for Muslims. The front-runner in that contest, real estate mogul Donald Trump, won 32 percent of the vote in the poll, ahead of second-place retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who had 22 percent. I will see what happens.
