trumpRepublican presidential front-runner Donald Trump isn’t backing down in the face of criticism within his own party over his suggestion that all Muslims should be banned from entering the United States until the country can get a grip on Islamic terrorism.

“It’s short-term,” Trump said of the ban when asked by Barbara Walters in a interview shown Tuesday on ABC’s “World News Tonight.”

“Let our country get its act together. … It could be very quickly if our country could get its act together,” Trump said. “We need toughness and smartness, and we have to do it quickly.”

Walters asked Trump if he regrets having made the suggestion.

“Not at all,” he said. “We have to do the right thing. Somebody in this country has to say what’s right.”

Trump said he doesn’t buy into fears his idea will cause problems with Muslims in the United States, adding that his own friends who are Muslims agree with him “100 percent.”

“They [terrorists] knocked down the World Trade Center – they tried doing it twice,” Trump said. “Other things have happened. … There are people that have tremendously bad intentions. We have to be tough, we have to be smart and we have to be vigilant.

“I’m the worst thing that ever happened to ISIS,” he added. “The people in my party fully understand that.”

As for his Republican critics, Trump said, “They’re running against me. For the most part, they have no poll numbers. I’m leading by a lot. They get it. They’re trying to get publicity for themselves.

“You know when I came out against illegal immigration, everybody said the same thing. Two weeks later, everybody was on my side, including the members of my own party.”

  1. The only thing I would say to Donald Trump is that there is always that possibility that he won’t be the nominee and even if he is, his chance of beating Hillary in the general election is going to be a tough feat even for Mr.Trump. As such when he loses – and I know he hates that term…but when…or at least if he loses, then gone is his secret service protection, so he really has to think out the box a little and realize the things he’s saying against moslems and other minorities in my view is asking for a lot of trouble. The things he says now are going to haunt him for many years to come and there are going to be people out there who will try to kill him. He really has to watch it.

  2. Yes – he may regret that he said it – but that doesn’t mean that he is wrong. The polls prove that sane people think he is right.
