Kasich’s campaign distributed copies of Trump’s changing public positions on foreign policy matters, declaring “Donald Trump is willing to say and do anything to get elected president”.

The country’s House of Representatives last week passed a bill to tighten restrictions on Syrian and Iraqi refugees settling in the US. “We’re dealing with very, very strong people. You bet your ass I would”, the candidate said of the practice, which is considered torture under global conventions.
He also said he wasn’t interested in closing mosques, clarifying: “I don’t want to close mosques; I want to surveil mosques”.
“Among the most dishonest people I’ve ever dealt with are the media, the media”, Trump said as the crowd booed in the direction of the press.
The hopeful has said previously that he would send all Syrian refugees who settle in the United States back to their home country if he became president as the U.S. “cannot take a chance” that some of the refugees may be affiliated with Isis. “And we’re talking about waterboarding”, Trump said.
Trump incurred the wrath of the Ohio Republican Party this week by criticizing Kasich as “one of the worst presidential candidates in history” and a “dummy” during an appearance in Columbus, after he was warned not to.
“On the other side, they chop off our young people’s heads and they put them on a stick”, Trump said.
Carson appeared to agree, saying the US needs to gather better intelligence and fix the errors on the terror watch list.
Trump also stuck to his dogged claim that on 9/11 he saw “thousands and thousands” of people in Jersey City cheering as the twin towers of the World Trade Center in NY collapsed.
“I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down – as those buildings came down, and that tells you something”, he added. We’re going to start winning so much, we’re going to win…. But his initial comments on Kasich – a name he repeatedly mispronounce, saying Kay-sitch instead of Kay-sick – Trump left the OH governor alone.
However, Trump reminded ABC on Sunday, “When I did this, I said I have to be treated fairly”. I will see what happens. “I don’t think it’s fair to boil down an entire person’s campaign to calling him names or to call the entire GOP names based off of Trump”. “All I want is a level playing field”.
