Turkey prepares for Trump presidency (convinced of Trump win)

Turkey prepares for Trump presidency

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, called Dec. 7 for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. At a public event, Trump read a statement issued by his campaign office:"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on." While claiming to be the voice of the silent majority, Trump says there is great hatred toward Americans by large segments of the Muslim population.

Trump's words generated a global outrage, including in his own Republican Party, where various key names asked him to withdraw from the race claiming that by uttering such words he had disqualified himself from the presidency. Yet, Trump neither retracted nor apologized for his statement.

In Turkey, Trump succeeded in unifying opposing camps of the media, all of which reported his words with deep shock and condemnation. Most media commentators in Turkey are convinced that Trump will become the next US president because of his lead in the polls. A joke now heard in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul goes like this: "Trump will be kicking out a black family from the White House, and it would not be his first time!" Trump's less flattering photos appeared on Twitter with comments such as,"If this guy becomes the next US president, Muslims won't be able to enter the US." These headlines were promptly followed by articles about who Trump is, and what he has said so far. One popular article included 10 controversial Trump statements from his presidential campaign, with a focus on his plans mandating registration for all Muslims in the United States, keeping a database on them and building a wall on the Mexican border.

It is ironic that foreigners think Trump win is a foregone conclusion while there are so many in U.S. who go berserk at the mere suggestion of it.

The solution is obvious; a peace offensive by Muslims aimed at preventing Trump’s nomination and election.

I do not expect it, tho. More likely there will be provocations instead, causing the very thing they oppose.

We are always the bad guys, in the meantime what’s the problem with a few terrorist going to the US to stir up some activity... We just aren’t tolerant to the poor misunderstood Muslims/sarc.

Islam as an ideology is committed to expansion, and that expansion may only come at the expense of the entire rest of the earth’s human population.

Unfortunately (or perhaps most fortunately), Muslims turn out to be their own worst enemies, with Muslims being in far greater danger from other Muslims, than ever they would be from any conceivable combination of non-Muslims arrayed against them.

Islam is incapable of ever even considering a “peace offensive”. It is completely against their nature.

Besides, we are not in the least concerned with reducing the problems Muslims face in any way.

May the force of Trump be with you.

Will do.

I am concerned that if anything bad does happen to Mr. Trump, it could produce a massive, massive angry backlash against those who would be responsible bigtime.

Don’t worry. We would never know who was actually responsible. We would only know who “they” wanted us to think was responsible.

It is a very sad state of affairs when world "leaders" are outraged when they hear the truth. Leftists lie, cheat, blame, practice character assassination and name calling, in order to implement their fantasied version of the world, involving a centralized government.

But many, many citizens and voters in the USA want truth, and they want their government to keep them out of harm's way. The government of the USA has not been doing that for forty or more years.

Trump is a steamroller.

The Dems, Press and MSGOP have not been able to stop him.

It is quite possible that the forces piling up on Trump, (more so since the Islamic ban) will feel so desperate to stop them that they will hire a Muslim or Oslwald to take him down.

The truth of the matter is that he seems unstop-able and they (whoever “they” may be) will have to try to take him out of the race by the only option left...G-d forbid.

Turkey?

Armenian Massacres and, traditionally by Armenians, as Medz Yeghern, was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of its minority Armenian subjects inside their historic homeland, which lies within the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey. The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at between 800,000 and 1.5 million. The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day Ottoman authorities rounded up and arrested, subsequently executing, some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.

The genocide was carried out during and after World War I and implemented in two phases: the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labor, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly and infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian desert. Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre. Other indigenous and Christian ethnic groups such as the Assyrians and the Ottoman Greeks were similarly targeted for extermination by the Ottoman government, and their treatment is considered by many historians to be part of the same genocidal policy. The majority of Armenian diaspora communities around the world came into being as a direct result of the genocide.

I think that’s a given. I would be surprised if several groups weren’t setting it up now. The modern day Oswalds are probably being reviewed.

Who wouldn’t “They” chose? A Muslim? Anyone else? It seems according to the media only the far out wackos support Trump. That eliminates a lot of the usual candidates.

. . . until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."

This is the important part of Trump's quote which always gets left off by the mainstream media.

We actually have ways to figure it out, some of them quite logical and sensible.

But not under the current regime which refuses to admit we even have a problem with radical Islam. That would change in a hurry if the adults got put in charge.

Carter banned anyone coming in from a single country, Iran. Trump wants to ban Muslims coming in from every country in the world. Carter's ban was easy to enforce - have an Iranian passport? Not coming in. How will Trump enforce his ban when there are 160-plus countries they could be coming in from?
