Trump is proceeded by this warning from al-Qaeda militant Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a U.S. drone in 2011:

Trump is then seen at a podium announcing his plan for a total ban on Muslims.
Whether or not Trump appeared in terrorist recruitment videos has been an issue in the presidential campaign. At the last Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton claimed Trump appeared in recruitment videos for ISIS. Although experts said at the time that Trumps rhetoric had been useful to ISIS social media efforts, there was no specific evidence he been used in a video.
Clintons comments were seized on by Trump. In an interview with Chuck Todd, Trump said that Clinton lies like crazy about everything.

(10,144 posts)apologize to Donald Trump not too long ago after Hillary observed that Trump's anti Muslim screeds would be use for ISIS recruiting. I was amazed at how many folks here were calling her a liar and defending Donald Trump. Interesting times here at DU.
