White House Says Donald Trump’s Muslim Proposal Disqualifies Him for President
New York Times ^ | 12/8/15 | Patrick Healy

Posted on 12/09/2015 1:11:21 AM PST by RC one

The White House on Tuesday sharply condemned Donald J. Trump for calling to bar Muslims from entering the United States, saying the statement disqualified him for the presidency and calling on the other Republican presidential candidates to repudiate his campaign or be excluded as well.

The fact is that what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president, and for Republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump, that in and of itself is disqualifying,” Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said Tuesday at his daily briefing.

“What he said is disqualifying, and any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either,” Mr. Earnest said.

Did he say something that made him less than 35 years of age? Or something that made him not a natural born citizen of the United states? Did he say he hasn't been a resident of the United States for the past 14 years? No? He still seems perfectly qualified to be President of the United States soooo STFU Josh.

The White House apparently gets to decide who qualifies for President.

If this isn’t a dictatorship worthy of the wall then I don’t know what is.

Trump should respond with one word- Benghazi.

He wins with that response.

Considering the current dog eating, coke snorting, President President from Kenya or Indonesia or wherever the F he’s from is the least American President in American history and is probably not qualified to be POTUS, I think it’s safe to say this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Trump is just an anti-subculturalist while Obamorroid is the anarchist with anarchy being the subculture.

Trump should say: Show us your birth certificate Barry!

That speech Obama made in Paris should disqualify him for the presidency. He stood in the city that was attacked by terror on Nov.13th, and said, “mass shooting only happen in America”. Really? In his haste to put America down while on european soil, Obama made sweeping generalizations that made him look like a fool.

Unfortunately we don’t live in a Muslim country and Obama isn’t an Imam that can just bark orders and everyone must obey or die.

If being a moslem stoner from Indonesia and taking it up the butt for the other fag grad students on campus... if THAT doesn’t disqualify someone from being president, then no ‘muslim proposal’ will do it.

How much do we taxpayers pay these “Baghdad Bobs” to be White House spokespersons?

Article II section 1

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Donald Trump is eminently qualified. Josh Earnest and all who share his view are demonstrably ignorant.

THOUSANDS of innocent American citizens have been slaughtered by Islamic terrorists in the United States over the last couple decades(including 911, the Boston bombings and the San Bernardino shootings) because we bent over backwards to allow them to come over here to have access to our freedoms and opportunities without vetting them properly.. and people have a problem with a temporary halt on Muslim immigration until we can get a better system to make sure we don’t bring more jihadists in with them?.. The enemy has promised much more to come in the near future.. What would FDR do?

Islam is incompatible with the Constitution. I’d go so far as to say it advocates the overthrow of the U.S. Government. It’s lunacy to keep importing people belonging to an organization dedicated to destroying America.

American born ‘citizen’ Farook was 14 on 9/11. That means he spent his formative years here post 9/11, a time that saw great patriotic fervor for the US from all Americans. What does it say about him and his family that he could become so radicalized and travel overseas to obtain a radical bride? How many more Farooks do we have in our midst?

Based on past experience seeing Trump in action and this remark by the administration, I think Trump is going to be pounding them for weeks.
