Donald Trump: 'I Don't Think America Is a Safe Place for Americans'
ABC News ^ | March 27, 2016 | BEN CANDEA NICKI ROSSOLL

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump doesn't believe American citizens are safe in their own country.

The frontunner for the GOP's nomination expressed his concerns after he was asked whether Americans should feel safe traveling to Europe following last week's terror attacks in Brussels. Bombings at the capital's airport and a metro station killed 28 people, including at least two Americans.

"I don’t think America is a safe place for Americans, you want to know the truth,” Trump said, later adding, "We're allowing thousands of people to come in here. Nobody knows where they're from. Nobody knows who they are and they're coming in here by the thousands and let me tell you something, we're going to have problems."

While it was unclear which groups Trump was referring to, he proposed banning all Muslims from entering the U.S. following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris and wants to build a safe zone for Syrian refugees instead of allowing them to enter the U.S.

Trump has also asserted that President Obama wants to allow 250,000 Syrian refugees to come to the country but the administration has only agreed to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next year.

I’m so sick of Trump tearing down this country ......he has nothing good to say about it and there’s plenty to be said or people wouldn’t still be flocking to get in here. ....It’s still the greatest nation in the world but he has to tear it down in order to appear as it’s Savior to his supporters.

Oh horse manure! The reason people from the turd world want to come here is because the dummycrats are luring them in with promises of free chit in exchange for their (not too distant future) votes. Trump is right on this one. Don’t believe it? Go for a walk around some Section 8 housing in any populated area.

How is it that Cruz supporters are so utterly incapable of seeing the reality of anything?

Obama criticized the country's management in 2008, the younger Bush did so in 2000, Bill Clinton in 1992, Ronald Reagan in 1980, Jimmy Carter in 1976, etc. All pledged to restore America's promise and criticized deterioration in this country. Nothing is new under the sun, certainly not Trump's rhetoric, or Cruz's, or even Sanders’.

“While it was unclear which groups Trump was referring to...”

Unclear?

A question for the ages, they seem to have the mentality of a democrat. I respect those of you who take the time and energy to correct them, but they do seem immune to rational thought.

Happy Easter!

Trump wants to build America back up and you prefer the downward spiral.

How very sad that you are asleep and lazy at the wheel.

If we do not reverse course, America will be unrecognizable in a matter of years.

Didn’t muzzie terrorists knock down the WTC towers in NYC?
What about Ft Hood Major Hassan muzzie killer? What about the numerous lone wolf muzzie attackers we’ve had? What about the Paki couple in Ca shooting up the Christmas party?
Trump is sounding the alarm with good reason because the rest of our weenie pols keep chanting the religion of peace mantra. Trump is no savior but we are starving for strong leadership.

Ohmygosh. Are you saying that in the US you don't have to be vigilant about your surroundings? Trump is absolutely correct, and it does no good to pretend we are safe from potential attack and from out of control criminality.

You’re desperation evidences that Trumps constant degrading of our country has worked to engulf you in his web.

Trump isn’t sounding any alarm that hasn’t been sounded for years now.....WTC....Ft Hood.....etc. etc...not to mention 9/11 was far more than Trumps ring a ding.

We have always needed good leadership...but the people obviously thought otherwise when they elected Obama.....just as they’re now doing with Trump. They don’t want leadership...they want a Hero. Just as Obama voters wanted.

Further this nations people have been ripe for deception, and still are...they don’t have the capability to “see” a good leader.

Even Bill Clinton thinks the last eight years have been horrible. It isn’t just Trump.
