What a jerk.

Trump: Hillary Will Flood America With Terrorists

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 6/10/2016 3:00 pm

Donald Trump told Religious Right activists today that, as president, he will stop refugees from coming to America and will instead focus on the real victims of persecution: American Christians.

Trump, who read the majority of his speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference off a teleprompter, kicked things off by bragging about how well he has “done with the evangelicals and with the religion, generally speaking.”

He went on to talk about the need “to restore faith to its proper mantel in our society” and “respect and defend Christian-Americans” along with the need to reject refugees fleeing war and violence.

“Hillary will bring hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of whom have hostile beliefs about people of different faiths and values and some of whom absolutely and openly support terrorism in our country,” he said after demonstrators briefly interrupted his speech. Trump later added: “We have to take a rest. We have to take a timeout.”

Hillary Clinton has said that the U.S. should accept 65,000 refugees escaping the war in Syria, while Trump has consistently lied throughout the campaign about the refugee crisis.

Trump also repeated his vow to appoint conservative judges to the bench, boasting that the judges on his list of potential Supreme Court nominees “are all pro-life.”

Update:

Yet more stupidity from Trump.

Trump: America Is A Judeo-Christian Nation Because 'That's The Way It Is'

not exactly the same scene but its a speech where he claims the British and Americans will rule the post World War II world-and Patton gets "grounded" by Ike for "insulting the Russians". I know there's another scene where the aide speaks though

But I don't recall where the Bible says we need to reject refugees. In fact, quite the opposite in both the Hebrew and Christian Testaments. The Bible has some pretty strong words for people who refuse to help widows, orphans, refugees and other people in need. Some of the harshest judgments are reserved for people of means who don't help victims.

Well, this was the Faith and Freedom Coalition meeting, so I'm sure all the attendees immediately jumped up and began quoting Bible verses at Trump to set him straight on what the Bible says.

Right?

He knows nothing about policy but just wants his way. He doesn't care who he steps on and is so unpredictable even the people who support him don't know what he'll do. He'll probably start a panic just like him too. The only real difference is that Jackson wasn't afraid to fight and trump seems like he's a pussy deep down.

But I recall from Sunday School that Jesus devoted his life to helping the poor. Never questioning whether they could "get a job". In one verse he said: sell everything you have and give the money to the poor. Nothing about walls to keep them out.
