>So they think he's xenophobic and religiously bigoted instead? How is that better? He is not against all immigrants. He is ONLY against ILLEGAL immigrants.

He is not against all immigrants. He is ONLY against ILLEGAL immigrants. He still supports LEGAL immigrants from all over the world.
Also, he is not against the Islamic religion. He is just against immigration from countries with known ties to terrorism.
>I'm not making up the fact that white supremacists supported Trump.
The KKK also supports Hillary too, so that's just the typical election rhetoric you see every four years.
These are misconceptions by people who have not listened to Trump's rally speeches. They only hear a small part of the quotes without the context and form these misconceptions about him. And now, they're shocked and confused to find that the majority of the country supports him.
- pmyteh 10y ago> Also, he is not against the Islamic religion. He is just against immigration from countries with known ties to terrorism. He expressly called for all Muslims to be barred from the United States. I'm afraid that claiming he's "not against the Islamic religion" is not a fact-based argument.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoWhich he also later clarified to meant immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism. And TEMPORARY only, until they can figure something out, like a vetting program, from those countries with direct ties to terrorism. He wants to protect everyone from terrorism. Yes, he wants to protect Muslims from terrorism too. He even asked them for their help in the fight against radical terrorism, because he knows that terrorism affects them too.
- foldr 10y ago>Which he also later clarified to meant immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism. That's not a clarification, that's just saying something completely different from what he originally said.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoBut at no point was it racist like you claimed.
- foldr 10y agoWe already covered that. You're changing the subject.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoAccusation of racist where there is no racism.
- foldr 10y agoYep, we already covered that. Feel free to call it xenophobia and religious bigotry instead.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoBut it is not xenophobia to want to keep terrorists out by temporary stopping immigration from countries with ties to terrorism. And that has nothing to do with their religion. It has to do with the fact that terrorists want to blow people up. Calling that xenophobia and religious bigotry is just a straight out lie.
- foldr 10y agoHe called for a ban on all Muslims. Try explaining how that has "nothing to do with religion".
- DefaultUserHN 10y ago>...all Muslims... Not ALL Muslims. ONLY the Muslims IMMIGRANTS from countries with direct ties to terrorist groups. So how can he be racist if he's only banning the Muslims from countries with direct ties to terrorism, and not ALL Muslims? He's not banning ALL Muslims immigrants like you claim. And this has nothing to do with religion. An immigrant don't even have to be Muslim. ANY immigrants (ANY, not just Muslims) that are attempting to enter the United States from a country with direct ties to terrorism will not be allowed into the United States until vetting can be done.

- DefaultUserHN 10y agoLike I said, election rhetoric meant to smear the opponent. Voters are smarter than this. Voters care more about the real issues that are affecting them (jobs, economy, etc). They don't care who the KKK is voting for. The result of the election have shown that.
- foldr 10y agoHuh? My point was that the KKK really was supporting Trump, whereas it was not really supporting Hillary.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoWe have no way of knowing whether they genuinely support Trump, or whether they did actually support Hillary like they claimed to. It's all election smearing and rhetoric, which voters don't care about, as the election results have shown.
- foldr 10y agoThey didn't claim to support Hillary; see link. David Duke did, however, endorse Trump.
- DefaultUserHN 10y agoI understand. They claimed to have donated $20,000 to Hillary. The website claimed the claim is false. We will never know, but more importantly, the voters didn't really care who the KKK was supporting, as the election results have shown.
