White House spokesperson John Earnest has replied to these contentious remarks by saying "I think what Mr Trump is doing is something that he’s been doing over the course of his entire campaign, which is… to play on people’s fears in order to build support for his campaign. I think what he’s doing, he’s dividing America in a really cynical way".
On a somewhat lighter note, during a recent address to the nation, President Obama called on his fellow Americans to overcome any fear and divisiveness by saying "Muslim Americans are our friends and our neighbours, our co-workers, our sports heroes. And yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defence of our country. We have to remember that".
As always, Trump used Obama's message of openness and social inclusion as an opportunity to go on the offensive with this moronic tweet.
