Donald Trump is wrong on the First Amendment. He’s wrong on the cornerstone of our democracy. The freedom of speech is elemental. If he doesn’t get that, he couldn’t possibly be a good President.
For a man who so very much enjoys his freedom to speak, his attack on our defense of it is curious. Trump calls me a “terrible messenger”; how would he know? Based on what, exactly? He hasn’t read my books, my blog, or the cases of our numerous First Amendment lawsuits. He opposed the Ground Zero mosque, a battle on which we were on the forefront.

“What’s Wrong with Donald Trump,” By Pamela Geller, Breitbart, July 10, 2015
Donald Trump has catapulted to the top of the Republican Party Presidential polls because he saying in plain language what so many are thinking about immigration. Immigration is out of control, and even most Republicans are so afraid of the “Latino vote” that the immigration issue has become the third rail. But Trump has numerous weaknesses – notably a huge blind spot about the jihad threat, including a disturbing willingness to kowtow to jihadist intimidation and surrender the freedom of speech.
And as always with Trump, it all goes back to his business interests.
After the jihad attack on our free speech event in Garland, Texas, Trump fumed:
I think it’s terrible, and we have to act very strongly. But I will say, I watched Pam prior, and it looked like she’s just taunting everybody. What is she doing drawing Muhammad?…And it looks like she’s actually taunting people — and it’s disgusting that it happened and everything else. But why are they doing [sic] drawing Muhammad? Isn’t there something else they can draw?”
He also said:
I mean it’s disgusting. Isn’t there something else they could be doing? Drawing Muhammad?…They can’t do something else? They have to be in the middle of Texas doing something on Muhammad and insulting everybody? What is she doing? Why is she doing it? It’s probably very risky for her — I don’t know, maybe she likes risk? But what the hell is she doing?
Megyn Kelly subsequently asked him about those remarks, and he said: “I think Pam Geller is a terrible messenger. I think she’s terrible. We have enough problems without taunting and driving everybody crazy.”
Kelly gave him the opportunity to reconsider his sharia outburst. Perhaps Donald had time to rethink his initial knee-jerk reaction and give thoughtful consideration to the implications of his dangerous position. He had weeks to investigate and educate himself between his initial remarks on May 4 and his appearance on The Kelly File on May 21. Weeks. But no, he dug himself in even deeper.
Kelly challenged him: “What do we stand for as Americans if not for freedom of speech, ability to express yourself, this speech in particular which was in defiance, it’s like the cartoon that won the contest it had Muhammad standing there saying you can’t draw me and the person looking up to him saying, that’s why I draw you.” But Trump doubled down, insisting: “I’m not the only Conservative Republican that feels this way. They’re lucky to be alive. Why with all the problems we have, why taunt?”
It isn’t about taunting, Mr. Trump. It’s about defending the freedom of speech against violent intimidation.
Trump, meanwhile, is under fire for his remarks on Mexican immigrants. Because of them, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has launched a comprehensive investigation of Trump holdings. Trump said: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
Trump was taunting Mexicans, was he not?
And while what de Blasio is doing is outrageous and wrong, Trump cannot complain. He’s a “terrible messenger.”
The case of Donald Trump is one of the basic freedom of speech, in New York and in America in general. For everyone, not just for the Donald.
What Trump clearly doesn’t understand is that the freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.
Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule without any opposition being possible, for all others will be living in fear, curtailing their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.
Islamic law forbids criticism of Islam, Quran, and Muhammad. If they cannot be criticized in the United States, then we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the freedom of speech. Is that what Donald Trump wants? This would establish Muslims as a protected class and prevent honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism.
What is behind Trump’s willingness to abandon the freedom of speech? Money – lots of Trump money, in Muslim countries. Arabian Business reported in 2014 that in Dubai, “the Trump Estates includes more than 100 luxury villas overlooking a Trump-branded golf course.” When a journalist asked him, “Mr. Trump, the workers who build your villas make less than $200 a month. Are you satisfied?,” Trump refused to answer.
Trump has extensive holdings in Dubai. His golf club there was voted “the Best Golf Development in the Middle East.” Lawrence Glick, the executive vice president of strategic development for The Trump Organization, explained how Trump sees Dubai as a huge money-making opportunity: “When you take a look at our database, which is millions of customers that buy two-plus homes all over the world, one of the places they want to come to is Dubai. It’s kind of like a Beverly Hills meets Las Vegas.”
And that makes it clear why Trump, while addressing immigration, doesn’t speak about the hundreds of thousands coming over from Muslim nations unvetted, battle-hardened from jihad. And while he viciously attacks me for refusing to adhere to Islamic law, what has he said about the Indian national who was charged in the United Arab Emirates with “insulting Islam?” Dubai is the UAE’s most populous city. He has also not said a word about the American who was jailed in the UAE for “cyber slander against Islam.”
At his announcement of his presidential candidacy, Trump said this about the Islamic State (ISIS): “And, I can tell, some of the candidates, they went in. They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work. They sweated like dogs. They didn’t know the room was too big, because they didn’t have anybody there. How are they going to beat ISIS? I don’t think it’s gonna happen.”
The fact is that Donald Trump struck a chord when he spoke out on immigration. He said a lot of things that a lot of people are thinking, and the fact is that immigration is a critical issue, particularly now, with our national security hanging by a thread.
But he’s wrong on the First Amendment. He’s wrong on the cornerstone of our democracy. The freedom of speech is elemental. If he doesn’t get that, he couldn’t possibly be a good President.
America would be hard-pressed to trust a President with extensive investments in sharia nations.

Well, that wasn’t all that hard to figure out, was it? Arab money talks, and the Donald is “in the bag”. He can dump on Mexicans, and its funny how they give him a dose of his own medicine. But he doesn’t dare to dump on Muslims, because of his extensive business interests. Just like Bloomberg and so many others. Totally compromised, all of them. And thats why Trump doesn’t want Pamela Geller to engage in cartoon contests. It could damage his business interests. His Arab partners expect him to take a clear stand, which is what he did. That’s why Trump is not our guy.

Our country has been servants of the Saudi Royals since the Clintons took office. We have yet to break their control. So to beat Trump over his lack of aggression against these scum makes no sense. You don’t see the media out for Trump already? He is by far the best chance at keeping the Bush and Clinton Dynasty from actioning our country.

Pam, Trump wasn’t anti-illegal immigration when he was employing illegals on his building sites. The man is a self promoter who believes that what’s good for a Trump is good for the U.S.

Far too glib. He doesn’t hire the workers, because he uses contractors to do his buildings. They are required by law to hire legals. If they are illegal, then it is with false papers, something the LEFT encourages and ensures they can get away with. Being in business is a snake pit, and if you’ve never signed the front of a paycheck then you’ve no argument to stand on.
This is the LEFT’s current attack on him BTW. Are you willing to carry their water? Or are you a TROLL?

No, I simply remember articles in the NY Post, years ago, when Trump was building 5th Ave Trump Tower that he not only employed illegal Polish workers, but that he also wanted to cheat them out of their wages.
The fact that Trump has the right message on immigration and China trade doesn’t mean that he believes it, just that he knows what we want to hear.

I agree Pam. He is OK with muslim terrorists who want to slaughter people at a free-speech art exhibition and contest, but then he goes hard-core against the Mexicans. I would take a million mexican drug-dealers over the Islamists any time! They are much more safe and peaceful.

I hate what Trump said about Pamela and it troubles me. The only reason we didn’t hear what the others had to say is because they didn’t have the balls to say what they were thinking(good or bad).
I don’t care if the GOP nominates an Orangutans, I will vote for that person. If we lose this one, the country as we know it is done. If we can pull this election off we can keep our rights.
Just my opinion.

One thing I learned a long time ago is that political rhetoric is meaningless. It never ceases to amaze me how many people hang on every word coming out of a politicians’s mouth while they’re on the campaign trail. Especially when their political record belies their rhetoric. Trump, not being a politician, has no voting record to examine, so we have to look elsewhere to gauge him. His Middle East business interests and his criticism of Pamela and the Mohammad cartoon contest tells me all I need to know. If Trump won’t stand against Islam then he is unfit to be POTUS.

“America would be hard-pressed to trust a President with extensive investments.”
That is certainly something to ponder.
IMO, Cruz is better. Jindahl and West seem good (althiugh I do t think West is running). Pretty sure Trump would be better than Obama or Hillary.

I see The Donald’s wealth as a positive thing in that he is not beholden to any outside influence. He’s also been willing to take financial hits over his immigration stance and he doesn’t back down. He has made numerous statements against muslims if you listen to his longer speeches, and been critical of the politicians who are appeasers. He was opposed to the Cordoba mosque. I just think his initial reaction to Garland was that there were better ways of doing what Pamela is doing, but he is wrong on that, and he is blunt and shoots from the hip.
Pamela, you should call him up and have a face to face. He’s a smart guy and if you listen to his speeches, is not afraid to admit he misjudged. He will do so publicly, you’ll see. It’s an important issue you’re shining a spotlight on, and you of all people can enlighten him some more.
I also wanted to say to you in Garland, but for obvious reasons didn’t get the chance: Ayn would be proud of what you’re doing. Go girl!

The underlying message from your commentary Pam is simply whether our electorate can expect that candidate to act in the best interests of the U.S.A. Can anyone with substantial investments in and/or contacts with foreign nations lead with an ability to decide relevant issues with the first consideration being what is best for this nation. We, the electorate, need to ask all the candidates that set of questions. While being prosperous is always an outcome, certain issues need to be addressed from the point of view: is it best for the nation and its people? I believe that Trump was wrong in what he said as outlined in your comments. I believe what he said about immigration needed to be said as you acknowledge in your comments. I sincerely believe that this nation, a nation of many cultures of divergence, is losing what I believe America has been all about. We are a people whose immigrant ancestors ASSIMILATED into what America was all about. They did not abandon their culture, but they blended into our society with the watchword always being America first and their culture made livable by making it blend into the conclusion that America’s civil society and acceptance of tolerance of all, and good neighborliness, was the expectation here. I believe that the Islamic belief system is, as practiced by many and taught, not consistent with an ability to ASSIMILATE into American society. They have a belief system that if practiced in an orthodox manner will effectively create a culture which cannot accept what this nation is all about. They (those of Islamic culture) should not let that happen, and we (non-Muslims) need to be always vigilant here that their belief system does not become the cancer here that it has become elsewhere. Our present leaders, in my opinion, especially our President, do not understand what the issues are. Therefore, they have no idea how and what needs to be done. We need to ask all of the candidates for leadership position what they believe needs to be done to preserve our Constitution and our great society, and we need then to choose those who not only recognize the problems facing us and the world, but give us the kind of answers as to what is best to do in dealing with those issues. Those answers will tell us whether that candidate would be adversely impacted by his or her investments with foreigners. Anything less would be suicidal for this nation as we have seen over the last seven years.

HE IS A MUSLIM FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS A MUSLIM COUNTRY. WITH IN HE IS 8 YEARS IN OFFICE. HE HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY. to me a president of this country should. be for AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST AND FOREMOST. YOU CAN CALL THE LITTLE o the president if you like. but he is not and never has been mine.when you have a president that tells a muslim country I am one of you. and another time tells a muslim country. the future should not belong to those that slander the prophet. the future and others he is talking about is you, me, Pam, Robert, or any one else that has any thing to say against the so called prophet. islam, and the qur’an. so be my guest and call him your president if you want. we are still some what a free country.

I certainly recognize where you are coming from. You will get no argument from me that president Obama’s conduct, especially based on his upbringing, has often shown favoritism to Islamic society to the detriment of many of our allies, which has contributed to a failure of many other countries to not see and combat the worldwide creeping and metastasizing cancer of orthodox Islam, which I have said is a belief system that is not compatible with what this country is all about, but the damage has been done. I am hoping that our electorate will also come to that conclusion that he was a very bad choice and that he was not vetted properly by both his party and those who voted for him, since I believe that had the electorate known who this man was, and how he thought, he never would have been elected. The problem does not end with him. We have legislators who also do not have the ability to see what is best for this country. I see them as cowards (and incompetent), whose only interest is to make a financial windfall out of their professional political career. We need to choose only those who have leadership ability and can prove that their interests are for the betterment of this country, not their pocketbook or any belief system that would violate our Constitutional system. Unfortunately, we are, to some extent, controlled by political parties and those organizations control many aspects of our electoral system, leaving us sometimes with bad choices. That needs to be fixed as well. I would love to see a rethinking done by our political parties to the end that they likewise recognize that they must choose the right thinking candidate to put before the electorate.It IS up to us to choose wisely!

I agree with Miss Geller. I have had these same thoughts. Trump’s criticizing of the cartoon contest in Texas is conspicuously hypocritical when placed next to his current remarks about Illegal aliens.
It seems as though he is perfectly fine letting loose with bombastic comments to people who can’t hurt him financially, or who won’t threaten / try to kill him. While at the same time sticking up for, and making excuses for, folks who can hurt him badly in several ways.

I was going to say that Trump would still make a better President than Obama, but then I realized that that wasn’t much of a compliment. Because almost any body could do that.

Pam .. keep the focus on Islamic oppression … that will help unite us far more …Trump is far more likely to restore our military to a position where we will triumph over Islamic madness than just about anyone out there. I don’t consider Trump ideal by any means but at least he gets the border issue right and he is about the only one with the guts to talk about the need to defend America.
If he doesn’t understand your position, who among the candidates does? Who else is out there saying the AFDI and Pam Geller are what it is all about? The strategic decision to use cartoons without issues is NOT helping at all.
Pam, you are brave, patriotic, right on everything .. except showing the Mohammad cartoons simply to stick your thumb in the eyes of the Muslims. Yes .. you are communicating the atrocities better than anyone else .. But the MSM will drum up this ISLAM HATING RACISTS TAUNT ISLAM FOR NO REASON angle every chance they get, like they are doing with Trump here. .. They will make Islam look like the victim here. Yes, I agree you have the right to show the cartoons without a single issue but that doesn’t make it the smart move.
Freedom of Speech is meaningless unless you are protesting something specifically. And the MSM Pro-Islamic forces are going to use issue-less cartoons to make those who stand up to Islam look like the unjust “racist” haters (totally untrue but .. why give them that ammunition if you don’t have to?!).
You are not surrendering on your principles if you simply show the Mohammed drawings in conjunction with Islamic oppression and murder. But you will be making your message more powerful.
It doesn’t have to be like this .. Keep the focus on what ISLAMIC HORRORS are taking place.. Put cartoons of Mohammed that protest these horrors directly. Force the MSM to cover these horrors by using the cartoons to protest the specific evils of Islam:
BURNING CHURCHES
BEHEADING OF NON-ISLAMIC PEOPLE
EXECUTING GAYS
POURING ACID ON THE FACES OF GIRLS WHO GO TO SCHOOL
GENITAL MUTILATION OF YOUNG GIRLS WITHOUT CONSENT
THE NUCLEAR ARMING OF IRAN BY THE OBAMA MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
THE RISE OF ISIS FUNDED BY THE OBAMA MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

And he doesn’t give a rats behind about political correctness. He calls it as he sees it – and I for one, LOVE that.

Let me explain why I am sensitive to this issue .. but it is longwinded .. so stop reading at any point ..
You see .. the thing is .. thousands have been murdred or raped .. and hundreds of these are children .. the illegals themselves .. And these holding centers were also he11 holes .. And the drugs are still pouring in from the cartels who are also doing most of the mayhem and murder .. and add to that that hardcore gang members are being given financial aid and get out of prison cards after committing fellonies …
Well the not so quick and short of it is .. so much devastation to our nation’s citizens … even before you start considering the costs of welfare, food stamps, medical care, and the jobs that will be lost to the newcomers …. that there is not much room for humor or patience on my part since NO OTHER CANDIDATE has even been willing to breathe a word about keeping the illegals out ..
It bothers the hell out of me …and the fact that none of the candidates nor congress are willing even to consider what our current POTUS is doing is outright treason .. blood on his hands many times over .. that .. well … to hear even one person like Trump say that something needs to be done to stop the *invasion” … got me on his side .. because this issue is too important to let go of .. If THE WALL is built . a lot of good things will happen .. More jobs for Ameican citizens .. More financial resources for American citizens .. Drug Cartels will be hindered .. and so will the Islamic terrorists ..

But note how the MSM is portraying this as simply a derogatory attack. And the focus then becomes the freedom of speech to use to insult the followers of Islam. I agree 100% the right to do that exists. I agree 100% that Islam shows itself to be barbaric in its response. But then the focus IS TAKEN OFF THE ATROCITIES of Islam .. the very real barbaric-conquer-the-world movement that is the horrific cult that is practiced by Muslims worldwide. Why give the MSM propagandists a chance to paint Islam as a victim here? Why not make sure the focus is always on the specific barbarity that Islam is evilly oppressing the world with? Use only cartoons that protest specific evils. This is what, in the end, what we all hate and wish to end ultimately.

He’s been involved in our culture for a long time, and the people know what they’d be getting, and frankly it’s about time.
Our Constitution expresses our ideologies.
obama has never appreciated that, he thinks his ideas are better.
Mr.Trump is going to defend the Constitution
And defend Freedom everywhere.

Donald Trump sat down with Katy Tur to discuss his presidential campaign.

For all his bravado, Trump never met money he didn’t love. Then again, this fellow who happily cites his business acumen is the same one who went bankrupt about 20 years back by overextending himself into that casino facade Potamkin village called Atlantic City – and the only reason he didn’t go down for the count was because he’d borrowed so much that he’d become basically a financial black hole, who’d pull everyone into oblivion with him unless they bailed him out. Which, of course, they did.
Now would YOU want someone who could pull a stunt like that running your country ‘like a business’, to use one of his favourite phrases?

Though it is highly unlikely Trump will be the eventual Republican nominee or any other integral part of the government after 2016, you have to admit it is gratifying to watch him ruffle the feathers of the stodgy old RINO establishment. He is “kicking asses and taking names” and saying what millions are thinking on several fronts. It is also hilarious Reince Preibus, RNC head, is telling Trump to tone it down. In addition to being the equivalent of farting in a hurricane, who would listen to campaign advice from a party functionary who never so much as ran for sheriff?

Hey, don’t be knockin’ the office of County Sherriff!
That is the highest office in the land.
(That includes POTUS and congress…preemption or otherwise ( which are only “color of law.” See Amendment VII.)
Why, you ask? Why would that be?
Because he or she is directly answerable to you, the body politic.
All to the course of the Common Law, common law jurisdiction of the States and Counties…The Law of the Land! Your own Brass Roots: the fully armed, property owning citizenry…of your own county…in accord with the Common Law, based in the natural law of individual self-preservation, self-reliance, and self-determination…your individual rights to life liberty and property: FREEHOLD PROPERTY. Not some feudal / royalist bullshit. Be it islamoNazi, commun-nazi, or Royalist Britunculi.
Reorder, reform your priorities. Realize federal government cannot protect your Liberty…admiralty jurisdiction is its only power…given to it by the States, united. Waste little time on who should be anointed your next sphincter-fuhrer in the white house and focus on re-establishing 3100 reinforced common law counties and sheriff departments who stand by your fundamental rights against ALL comers! Especially punk-ass juvenile savages who never stood up in real war against armed warrior citizenry.
Support your Local Sherriff…or get one who truly stands for Liberty.
That is the final form of checks and balance established by the Founding Fathers for all of you in Flyover Country. Those guys are still light years ahead of today’s “cutting edge” intellectuals, with all due respect.
Sincerely, Jim

Trump is an arrogant, self-serving, very wealthy, horse’s arse, but he is the only one among the Repugnican (including RINO) castrati to clearly state that our dear Republic has been invaded by Mexican and other Latino criminals who become Entitlementarians as soon as the illegally step across the border.

To answer the don’s question? “Why can’t they draw something else”? Well don, we can draw “whatever” we choose to draw here in America and we chose whats his name, the nut job that moslems are all crazy about. Maybe we should have a draw the “Donald” contest, imagine the security we would need for that event!!

He is the only non-politician, non-lawyer in the running. So he can’t draw fire from the media on all subjects. The borders are priority number 1. As for being bought and paid for both the Bushes and Clinton’s are in the pocket of the Saudi-Royals. At least Trump is not a Wahhabi Muslim like our present commander and caliph.
I see Trump as the best choice by far. But then I see the files in WTC#7 and the copy of those files at the most secured section of the Pentagon destroyed on 911 worth review by their caretaker the FBI. But that’s just because I was notified by them and told they were going to pursue the criminal organization they involved shortly before 911.
For the love of God do not vote for Hillary.
Donald Trump will take action. Once he has some dealings he will come around on the Muslim issue. Even Jefferson changed his opinion of the Muslim’s once he had direct dealings with them when he was an ambassador.

While Ambassador to France he approached a Muslim dignitary to ask for help in ending the piracy and slave taking from free /American ships. He was told the religion told the Muslims they have the right to do these things. It was the first riff between Jefferson and Adams that I have found. At the time Jefferson exclaimed we must declare war this faith until it is wiped off of the world. Adams replied that if we start a war with such a large religion we will fight it forever. Jefferson said then we had best start now.
One of his first acts as President was the war you speak of. That is where the Marines covered their throats with leather to prevent being easily beheaded. It earned the Marines the nickname of “leathernecks”. When Jefferson left office the Congress returned to paying tribute to keep the Muslims from piracy.

IDH, yes, exactly. It is also what prompted Jefferson to say “Millions on defence not a penny to tribute”. Presently we are paying for a war with Syria to allow the Saudi to build a natural gas pipeline across that nation. The tribute we have paid to Islam and supportive religions would stagger most Americans imaginations.

Thanks, Paul, good point. I do believe Trump has the best chance of defeating Hillary and Bush both of wich I believe would lead our nation into a death spiral. It is obvious to me the elite are planning to tie the US military down in Korea while Islam marches on Israel.
Trump has the best plan domestically by far. I believe he will handle the Muslim threat once he is updated on it. I just do not believe Carson and produce a knockout punch to Hillary or Bush.

Rocky: I watched his speech to the Maryland Republicans (hour long) and he severely criticized this administration regarding the Iran “negotiations” and how they are “fighting” ISIS. I don’t have any doubt he would restore our military, He also said he would make the Saudis pay for our fighting on their behalf in Yemen. He pointed out the stupidity of the disconnect between our fighting Iran in Yemen, and not including that in the negotiations, also about American citizens being held in Iran, which he would put as a high priority. If they didn’t want to negotiate, he would walk away and double or triple the sanctions.
He is a very bad public speaker, sort of “stream of consciousness”, which is funny because he criticized Obama for having to use a teleprompter, said politicians should be outlawed from using a teleprompter, and he vowed never to use one. Said we would have seen just how stupid Obama is if he had to give his speeches without one, and he would never have gotten elected.
I don’t like it at all that he criticized Pamela, I was at Garland that day, for the express purpose of standing up with her to expose the muslim ideology as not-a-religion.
I’m sorry Pamela, but I like Trump and think he would rally the rest of the American people, just a you rally us. I think you should call him up and have a face to face and he would like you, and agree with what you are doing. Just a half hour would do it, he’s not a stupid person. Two New Yorkers fighting for the same thing would work for me.

Paul767 well said and you make excellent points. We must all be willing to eat a little humble pie to fight the greatest threat to our nation. I too appreciate Pamela’s work. Robert Spencer was removed from his post of training our elite in the FBI and other agencies by the present Commander and Caliph. It would be great if Pamela would have Robert available by a phone if she meets with Trump. I would advise Mr. Trump to seek out Erik Prince for personal security. One more point with the money and power in place now it would be disastrous for Trump to go after any specific enemies during this election. The press would stake him out and the sheep would follow. Remember Herman Cain?

None of the contenders have said shit about the Muslim problem in America! The wholesale dumping of the Muslim terrorists in minnesotastan, dearbornastan, nashvillestan, the list grow and is endless ! There dumping them in the beautiful clean land of Idaho, and it’s disgusting! Yet, they may pule and whine about ISIS, but no one has the stones to say anything about MB, CAIR, etc! Trump was 100% wrong about my hero Pam Geller, BUT he is addressing the worst immigration problem ever! And candidly! No one else has! But I’m sure he will kick out all that don’t belong including muzrats on the dole! I like his message about bringing back Americas greatness and it gives me hope.. I liked Cruz but he voted then backtracked on obolas trade deal.. But I do like his message but don’t think he is strong enough for the job we need done of throwing out the garbage, building a fence, and doubling down on these destrctive left wing groups which threaten our nation! But Pam Geller was 100% right to draw Mohammad! She’s a leader if great moral courage and it saddens me trump has been a bastard stupid and idiotic about her work! But they both have their missions and can work around the other and get the business of protecting American on the table!

Yes, he’s being two faced. However, contrary to how msm writes about his speech, this is obviously closer to what he meant (and said), “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime, their rapists.”

Thanks, I appreciate your input. I am disgusted by the absolute lack of action by Congress. They could hold back funding. They could impeach Obama. But no they give lip service only. As typical politicians do. I’m sick of the climbing taxes. I got hit with what Obama views as too much income and it is costing me too much considering the hours and nights I spent working. Americans should not be punished for working long hours. We are turning socialist and I see no relief from the Bush family and absolutely none from the Clintons. At this time, to me it is a matter of keeping the Bushes and most of all the Clintons out of office.

Here is what Trump has said previously:
As many churches as he’s been a part of, it seems that Trump isn’t really all that tolerant of other religions. He said of Muslims and the Koran:
There‘s a lot of hatred there that’s someplace. Now I don‘t know if that’s from the Koran. I don‘t know if that’s from someplace else but there‘s tremendous hatred out there that I’ve never seen anything like it. So, you have two views. You have the view that the Koran is all about love and then you have the view that the Koran is, that there’s a lot of hate in the Koran.4
He’s also said:
Unfortunately, at this moment in time, there is a Muslim problem in the world.
One religion Trump seems to think is not so wonderful is Islam.
In the lead-up to the 2012 presidential election, Trump told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly that there is a “Muslim problem.” “I don’t notice Swedish people knocking down the World Trade Center,” Trump said, and then moved on to the so-called Ground Zero mosque. “I came out very strongly against the mosque being built virtually across the street.”
He also called for Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate. “People have birth certificates,” he told O’Reilly. ” … Now, he may have one, but there is something on that birth certificate — maybe religion, maybe it says he’s a Muslim.”
But Trump assured O’Reilly there are many “fabulous Muslims” in the world.
And Trump berated political activist Pamela Geller for launching a “Draw the Prophet” contest in Texas. “What is she doing drawing Muhammad? I mean it’s disgusting,” he said on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “Isn’t there something else they could be doing? Drawing Muhammad?”
I can see the friction with Pamela but I have had the same issues with her when I gave her some information on the first terrorist act paid for my NY Muslim money starting on 7-9-82 as well as the files I had contributed to in Building 7 of the WTC and the copy at the Pentagon. I was surprised how bone headed she was that there were more than one set of hands involved in 911. I do appreciate all of her work. Fantastic. Robert Spencer is a wealth of knowledge also.
I think there may be a bit of over reaction here do to Trumps ways. I do not see any reason that he would not be an outstanding President. Particularly if teamed with Bobby Jindal to keep his bearings “right” and to defeat any discussion of him hating immigrants.

He’s off my list where he earned a point for jobs, but now I don’t believe a word he says, even if it’s what i want to hear. I also will not vote for a candidate who does not have a voting record – there’s nothing to hold him to.

UNTIL America (and the world!) turns to GOD there’ll be no peace – islam is not a man to man battle, this is a spiritual battle – Satan against God. The devil’s demons and human agents can be found strategically located in all the capitals of the world, where they attempt to influence rulers in favor of satanic policies (read Daniel 10:13). History abounds with the fruits of their labors. Satan exploits man’s arrogance by encouraging secular humanism, the believe that man himself, independent from God, can solve the problems of the world he lives in. Turn to Jesus Christ! Believe on the Son of God and you’ll have peace like no peace you’ve ever experienced before!
Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings, Jewish Messiah and the Savior of Mankind.

I only have one beef with your ideas, which has been the flaw which allows the left to undermine America: ALTRUISM – “Sell all you have and give to the poor”. You have no philosophical arguments to defeat the left. So they win in the war of ideas. The best conservatives have ever come up with is “we agree with helping the poor….but our way is better! !!

Insulting everybody? Drawing Mohammad is insulting everybody? Mr. Trump are you insane? Every day, Muslims burn down church, perpetrate satanic atrocities, kidnap, rape and barbarically murder infidels all in the name of Mohammad’s god. In view of these evil acts being perpetrated against non-Muslim innocents for 1,400 years and continuing, please explain your, strange, twisted statement.
The hundreds of millions of non-Muslims barbarically put to death by Muslims and the millions of non-Muslims captured for slaves and sex slaves by Muslims would NOT consider themselves insulted by the drawings.
