...it appears that Trump was talking about a Make America Great Again hat when he made the comment, and one of the protesters only happened to be wearing a turban.
Muslims hate everybody, even other Muslims.
So what if he was wearing a turban? He was a protester, and got thrown out as any other protester.
I am getting tired of all these bigots and racists in the media, trying to make it and issue. What? Do they want special treatment because of race? color? Religious beliefs? No! We are American! Everybody is equal.
If you protest at a rally you get thrown out the same as anybody else.
Nick, do you believe in aliens and vampires too?
Well this is impotent.
Unfortunately, that is true. Even since right after 9/11/2001.
Criticize them and you will REALLY find out what hatred is.
I didn t think he meant turban. I thought he meant make america great again hat and thought nothing of it. Then when I saw this post I realized even if he did, it still was a bit crass, but what do we expect from Trump.
I think sometimes his mouth moves faster than his brain, but he always comes up the genius. Keep the magic going.
Vote Trump
My advice to them would be if you want to be American, stop wearing the turban.
Those aren’t of this place.
LOLOLOL.
Bwahahahaha! Mama Bush is going to be upset when she sees her baby boy.
We are at war with islam. Turbans are symbols of islam.
Sikhs are much more inclined to be loyal than other turban wearing cultures.
However I think a protester would have gotten bounced no matter what he wore.
How about lettering across the front: I’M NOT MUSLIM.
Sikh does their turban differently than Islam.
Seems to me that living in NY would familarize Trump with this.

I can earn up to $15.5k annually on Social Security. At $15/hour as a “professional protester”, I could pick up some quick cash.
"A Dastaar is an item of headgear associated with Sikhism and is an important part of the Sikh culture. Wearing a Sikh turban is mandatory for all Amritdhari (baptized) Sikh men."
They cannot. It is part of their religion.
The five Ks (panj kakaar) are five articles of faith which all baptized Sikhs (Amritdhari Sikhs) are obliged to wear. The symbols represent the ideals of Sikhism: honesty, equality, fidelity, meditating on God and never bowing to tyranny.The five symbols are: Kesh: Uncut hair, usually tied and wrapped in a Dastar Kanga: A wooden comb, usually worn under a Dastar Kachera: Cotton undergarments, historically appropriate in battle due to increased mobility when compared to a dhoti. Worn by both sexes, the kachera is a symbol of chastity. Kara: An iron bracelet, a weapon and a symbol of eternity Kirpan: An iron dagger in different sizes. In the UK Sikhs can wear a small dagger, but in the Punjab they might wear a traditional curved sword from one to three feet in length.

They’re much like communists.

They're VERY distinctive.
You can tell just by looking at them.
