Mr. Trump was asked about the issue by an NBC News reporter and pressed on whether all Muslims in the country would be forced to register. They have to be, he said. They have to be.
When asked how a system of registering Muslims would be carried out whether, for instance, mosques would be where people could register Mr. Trump said: Different places. You sign up at different places. But its all about management. Our country has no management.
Asked later, as he signed autographs, how such a database would be different from Jews having to register in Nazi Germany, Mr. Trump repeatedly said, You tell me, until he stopped responding to the question.

I saw the clip of that last part on Rachel. Don looked at that reporter like he wanted to kill him. His 1st question was 'who are you with?'. Very intimidating.
German officials identified Jews residing in Germany through census records, tax returns, synagogue membership lists, parish records (for converted Jews), routine but mandatory police registration forms, the questioning of relatives, and from information provided by neighbors and officials. In territory occupied by Nazi Germany or its Axis partners, Jews were identified largely through Jewish community membership lists, individual identity papers, captured census documents and police records, and local intelligence networks.

(63,221 posts)Star of David. Couldn't people try to pass as not Jewish and just not wear it? How would we ever enforce it even if it did ever come to fruition here, which it won't because Trump is barking mad and will never be President.

I recall looking at the Delaware Code and seeing an old, un-repealed law requiring Communists to register. I would not be surprised to hear other states had them. But this made me think immediately of that.
