Donald Trump has spewed out even more anti-Islamic speech, calling for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims.”
“Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension,” Trump said in a statement Monday. “Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.”
His latest comments sing a very different tune from ones he made in September, when he said, “I love the Muslims. I think they’re great people” reminiscent of his claims that he and the Latino community have a mutual “love” despite his very strict policies regarding immigration and his suggestion to implement Operation Wetback. Operation Wetback was a controversial policy implemented by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that resulted in the deaths of many immigrants.
