"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States"
Thank you for your attempt at gaslighting, but his speech in December of last year was fairly concise.
- MereInterest 10y agoIn response to all the downvotes you are getting. Direct quote from his campaign on Dec 7, 2015: "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

- tomp 10y agoThat seems quite a bit different from parent's quote. One is anti-Muslim, the other is pro-security.
- Fluid_Mechanics 10y agoYes, clearly the quote was taken out of context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDffWUjcBA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDffWUjcBA I particularly liked the moment where the crowd thoughtfully refrained from cheering at the most polarizing point of that statement. Class act all around.
- maxerickson 10y agoWhat do you mean by "parent's quote"? The thing people are responding to is "No, Trump did no call for ban on all muslims." He did. Whether he should be held to his ham-fisted early rhetoric and whether it is pro-security or anti-Muslim are entirely different discussions than the one about what words actually came out of his mouth.
