Donald Trump’s latest comments on Muslim people are getting absolutely slated

Homenews

Easy to see why.

On a very serious note, there's a distinct possibility that Republican candidate Donald Trump could end up in the Oval Office but if he's going to become the next President of the USA, it seems that he's fully committed to the idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity. In the wake of the tragic California shootings, Trump has called on a “total and complete” block on Muslims entering the United States.  We all know that Trump is prone to making 'dramatic' statements but his latest remarks on Twitter has rightfully led to accusations of 'fascism' and racism'. Here's just two of the tweets. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/673982228163072000 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/673993417429524480 The hyperlink on this above tweet links to the following text which expresses his extreme opinions. This draconian view on the world is indefensible and self-explanatory. TrumpStatement 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. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/673741357190615040 There are times when you really have to love Twitter though and this was definitely one of them. Take a look at some of these amazing replies. https://twitter.com/Slade/status/673853700604063744 https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/673748669716430849 https://twitter.com/imraansiddiqi/status/673891850361507840 Trump even quoted Ali on social media before. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/484068749742735361
