Trump: Maybe Obama 'feels comfortable' in a mosque

[Reter]

Source: The Hill

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday chided President Obama for visiting a mosque, a move the president made in part as a counter to Trump's controversial comments on Muslims.

"I don't have much thought, I think he can go to lots of places. I don't know, maybe he feels comfortable there," Trump said Wednesday on Fox News' "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren."

"There are a lot of places he can go, and he chose a mosque."

Obama's visit to a Baltimore mosque Wednesday was his first visit to a mosque during his presidency, and he took the time to chide the "inexcusable" anti-Islamic rhetoric that's boiled up recently.

What a disgusting, repulsive man Trump is!

1. You knew he would have to open his fat mouth about this.

He couldn't let an opportunity to show how ignorant he is slip by.....

[Human101948]

13. Trump just feels more comfortable being an asshole...

It just seems most natural.

[yeoman6987]

29. They asked him. He didn't even know the president went to the mosque before

Being asked. Not to stick up for him but just getting the facts out. And what is wrong with going to a mosque?

[trillion]

40. rofl rofl oh man....

[Paper Roses]

2. Trump: The worst of a bad lot. So glad there is a 'D' beside my name. n/t

[sarge43]

3. Sure, he feels comfortable in a mosque.

He's a rational enlightened decent man.

[KatyMan]

15. yeah but after visiting the mosque

he'll never be elected president again, that's for sure!

[ProfessorGAC]

50. He Doesn't Have To Be Elected

Haven't you heard? He's going to declare martial law and he's never leaving the White House.

Saw it on the internet so it must be true.

[flamingdem]

4. Asshat, losing votes every time he opens his trap nt

[Reter]

22. He may gain some

At least in the Puke Primaries.

[MatthewStLouis]

31. Bingo! I was thinking of the same term.

Asshat. He's an Asshat.

[flamingdem]

33. What he commits is asshattery

He's not funny enough to qualify for entertaining but I do like it when he rips into other candidates!

[bullwinkle428]

5. Wow, taking another trip down the birther highway...

[Tarc]

6. Trump is a degenerate racist xenophobic asshat

The rest of us tend to feel comfortable around people unlike themselves, so I'm sure Obama is just fine visiting a mosque. Trump never exits his comfort zone of white, low-educated, God-fearing rednecks.

7. The Donald who is so comfortable in church that

he puts cash in the communion.

[redwitch]

12. And cites 2 Corinthians!

His stupid and mean has no end in sight.

[NCjack]

8. Maybe Trump feels uncomfortable in a mosque. But, why should he?

He pals around with Muslims -- even borrowed $100s of millions from a Saudi who is (was?) a friend to avoid a default on payment due. Guess Muslims are great when they can be used.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. ...

[Lucky Luciano]

10. Stfu herr trump. nt

[Helen Borg]

11. I feel comfortable in a Mosque!

[JudyM]

14. Wow, never saw that coming!

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. He reminds me of a Mean Girl

His hair'S long enough.

He is just mean.

I wish he would go after Mitch McConnell.

[mwrguy]

17. Everyone should feel comfortable in a mosque

They are very welcoming places unless you are an Islamophobic turd.

[Myrina]

18. tRump says that like it's a bad thing ...

POTUS is, after all, the President of the whole United States and the leader of all her people, not just a specific group.

[narnian60]

55. Well said.

[tanyev]

19. I'd be more concerned if the POTUS didn't feel comfortable

in a mosque in an American city full of American citizens.

[ErisDiscordia]

21. Anywhere that Trump isn't has got to be an improvement

[Android3.14]

23. What a total dick

[Tab]

24. Given what Trump has said about muslims

I can assume Trump definitely wouldn't be - although I bet the mosque would be more welcoming of Trump than the other way around. If Trump was part of the KKK (and 50 years ago, he might have been) I doubt he'd be setting foot in a black church either. I'm not formally religious, but I'd be comfortable in a mosque, a buddhist temple, a synagogue, and probably also a black gospel church as well. Oddly enough, I'm least comfortable in a white church, 'cause I had that shoved at me as a child.

[Sam_Fields]

25. Do these anti-muslims conservatives even know any muslims?

I grew up right next to Dearborn, Michigan and knew many Muslims. I also served in the Army with Muslims. They are just as good citizens as the rest of us. Listening to some people talk about Muslims is the same way people used to talk about African-Americans fifty years ago. HTG they are so ignorant.

[Tab]

34. I've worked alongside them for many, many years.

The only problem, depending on where they're from, is simply language. But I have good friends in that community. Hell, my next door neighbors are muslim. They're some of the nicest people you could meet. A lot nicer than some "white Americans" who are "anti-muslim" are, I can tell you that.

[randys1]

26. Hey EVERYBODy, what does RANDY always say about CAPITALISM?

This guy proves why capitalism is completely fucked up.


I could explain but nobody seems to be able to do the math here.

[fredamae]

27. Only in the minds of the true

psychopath does it make sense to dig faster with a bigger shovel.

[alcibiades_mystery]

28. Why wouldn't he? He's an adult who's not an asshole

Is there some reason we should feel uncomfortable in mosques when we visit them?

[2naSalit]

32. Our president would feel comfortable in any house of worship...

unlike the chumpster who can't tell the difference between a communion platter and a collection plate for tithing.

[hay rick]

35. Trump takes the hate bait.

This will give him a bump with the Republican hate base. Now the "establishment" Republican candidates will have to burnish their hate credentials to keep up. One more demonstration of what these people really are. Loving it.

[MurrayDelph]

36. It is no surprise

that Mr. Obama feels comfortable going to ANY place of worship.

Trump, on the other hand, probably has to keep one upward looking out for green lightning.

[Feeling the Bern]

37. You came in second, toad. Who cares what you think! Or say!

[Maynar]

38. "I don't have much thought"

Truer words were never spoken.

[trillion]

41. +10000

[sarge43]

42. Thinking? Thinking is for losers. n/t

[olddad56]

39. What does this say, in general, about Trumps respect for freedom of religion?

Not that Obama is a practicing Muslim, but what about American Citizen's right to practice a religion other than Christianity.

If Trump would make a comment like this, it is pretty clear about how he feels about Muslims. Does he also have disrespect for people who practice other faiths such as Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc

This guy reminds me more and more of Hitler.

[Nyan]

43. I'd feel comfortable in mosque. I wouldn't feel comfortable with you, or with your brownshirts.

So shut the fuck up.

[roamer65]

44. tRump. N/t.

[ET Awful]

45. He probably feels more comfortable in ANY house of worship than Trump does. . .

I mean, I doubt Obama ever tried to put money in the Communion plate.

[awoke_in_2003]

46. "I don't have much thought"

that is the truest thing he has ever said.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

47. Maybe Trump feels comfortable in a white hood

[mr clean]

48. I didn't know Obama was running in 2016

Why don't he bash Clinton? Because we don't bash friends.

[olddad56]

49. and, maybe, Trump would feel more comfortable in Nazi Germany during the 30s.

[wendylaroux]

51. I would feel comfortable in a mosque.

why wouldn't anyone?

[jberryhill]

53. Agoraphobia?

[wendylaroux]

54. yes,true.

[thereismore]

52. The President should feel comfortable anywhere in America. Fuck you Trump. nt
