Donald Trump was criticized Thursday evening for not forcefully denouncing a man at a New Hampshire town hall rally who said muslims are a “problem” and accused President Barack Obama of being one.
Trump opened the floor up to questions after delivering a few short remarks in Rochester.
“We have a problem in this country and it’s called muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American, birth certificate man!” the man said, referencing Trump’s former efforts to get Obama to release his birth certificate.
This is the first question?” Trump jokingly asked the crowd.
“But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?” the man asked.
“We are going to be looking at a lot of different things. And, you know, people are saying that. And a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We are going to be looking at that and plenty of other things,” Trump responded.
After the encounter, Trump — who is known for his brash demeanor — was criticized for not forcefully correcting the man.
I don’t see any problem with this.
I would be just fine with a 100% muslim free America.
Just get out, and don’t come back.
I wouldn’t call some faggot liberal’s concerns and nasty comments as “under fire”, not unless you fear squirt guns.
We know several things about Obama.
1) he is a homosexual
2) he is a muslim
3) he’s never satisfactorily resolved the issue of his birth certificate.
Saying that Obama is a secret muslim.
It's no secret.
Everybody knows it.
Why should Trump correct the guy?
It’s Obama’s job to correct the guy and it’s Obama’s job to prove that what the guy is saying is not true.
Trump isn’t running to stick up for the muslime in the white hut.
Under Fire FROM WHOM?
criticized BY WHOM.
And more than a few with direct knowledge of that have died under mysterious circumstances.
So Don Trump isn’t John McCain? Good to hear.
Trump doesn’t tell people what they can say.
What right would he have had to forcefully correct the man?
The man was correct.
The mans question was pretty simple....”we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?” ....
Trumps response...“We are going to be looking at a lot of different things.... We are going to be looking at that and plenty of other things,” ....
Basically Trump doesn’t know when or how he would handle that...but that he’d be looking at it....sounds like a politicians answer.
However i tend to think he’ll get rid of them just based on how he’s looking a the gangs...which is what these Muslim camps basically can be seen as.
Correcting what? The truth?
Voices in the author’s head.
Anderson Pooper is shocked. I can’t believe it.
A gay, a Communist and a Muslim walk into a bar, the bartender says, “Hello Mr. President.”
Everyone must dance for the muslims.
Sounds like he gave a good answer.
Then after election he himself put it back in his full name to say "screw you" idiots.
Trump just did himself more good with what he said there than anything he has done so far.
I remember that.
He didn’t want all of us islamophobic rubes to make the connection.
