Trump Doesn't Challenge Man Who Called Obama a Muslim

Donald Trump declined to correct a man who said that President Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American" during a town hall meeting in Rochester, N.H.

"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," the questioner said to Trump. "We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American."

The Trump supporter continued, "But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?"

Trump responded, "We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things. And you know, a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things."

1. Why do you believe he was planted?

There are a lot of people who believe insane internet crap spread by crazy emails.

I'm surprised he didn't get to "Obama is buying all the ammunition".

So, what is your reasoning?

[Miles Archer]

3. Just seemed he was given easy access to Trump...

...with a question that seemed a little on the scripted side.

[Fred Sanders]

6. Scripted. Word. The last two months have been scripted by CNN for Trump! Quid pro quo with Zucker.

Isn't that obvious?

CNN hit the jackpot last night as their Cash Cow paid off....now to milk it some more.

And anyone who watched was part of the milking.

[jberryhill]

7. It was a Town Hall style meeting

Was McCain's crazy "Obama's a Muslim" lady also a plant?

There are a lot of people who believe this crap. The guy's question was rambling, disjointed and hardly sounded scripted at all. In what way was his access "easier" or more scripted than any of the other people who asked questions?

20. Trump's Response

If doesn't matter whether he was a plant or not. What is more telling, is Trump's response to it. He could have taken a lesson from John McCain when the crazy old blond woman stood up and and said that she couldn't trust Obama and that she thought he was an Arab. McCain's corrected the woman in a dignified and honorable way. Trump didn't call this guy on any of his outrageous comments. If he can't stand up to a bigot who is 5 feet away him, how is he going to "make America great again"?

2. planted by whom? The bush folks? nt

[pangaia]

4. The guy is from White Plains.

Did you ever hear of Black Plains, or Brown Plains, or Red Plains, or Yellow Plains, or Green Plains, or Purple Plains, or Orange Plains, or..
No.. only White Plains.

[dorkzilla]

11. I hope to god this is White Plains NH and not White Plains NY

I am just hoping an asshat like this can’t live anywhere near me. Although there is a Trump Tower in White Plains NY so maybe. I can’t find one in NH on the google machine.

And yes, I’m being silly; i know idiots are all around us.


OUR “White Plains” is the translation of what the local indian name was - Quarropas meaning white marshes or plains. Just in case you’re wondering

[pangaia]

14. ;>))

My father grew up in White Plains, NY..

Thanks for the history lesson, also.

[dorkzilla]

17. So did I (for the most part anyway!

And although I no longer live there, my business is there. Another fun fact - White Plains is (or at least was a couple years back according to Forbes) the 4th most expensive city in the US to live in. Your dad would be gobsmacked about that certainly. We were always NYC’s “Country Mouse”. My Bronx cousins used to say we’d moved to the “country”. LOL!

Do you know what section of dear ol’ WP he was from?

So we like the same music and you’re dad is from my town...maybe we’re long-lost siblings?

[pangaia]

24. Wasn't that way when he lived there.. That's for sure. :>))

probably about 1920-39 or so. We were definitely lower middle poor side of the tracks
Then again my uncle was a dentist in READY for this? ...Scarsdale ! And the fucker charged us to work on our teeth !

[dorkzilla]

25. ROT IN HELL FUCKING DENTIST UNCLE!!!

Scarsdale-I spit on Scarsdale! Ptooey!

[pangaia]

28. :>))))))))

Uncle Frank...

blechk....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. Sadly, I know more than a couple of extreme right wingers from Westchester County, NY.

Whose views on race would put an old white Alabaman to shame.

[dorkzilla]

22. oh i do too Tommy

waaaaaay more than i thought could be. still, I want to remain as ignorant of these people as possible. Not ignorant of them per se but ignorant that they probably live right next door to me.

[Smarmie Doofus]

29. According to radio talk show host Ron Kuby, there is no White Plains, NH.

And he thinks the questioner is a regular caller-in to his NYC-based show.

So... if the guy is in fact from NY... it's kind of odd that he'd be at a Trump town hall in NH.

[dorkzilla]

30. I looked up White Plains NH in the google machine

Yeah, looks like he’s one of ours. AND THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF. I’m going to go load up my pea shooter and drive around looking for him. And I got some cheeks...and a full bag of dried peas.

[Fred Sanders]

5. The issue is not the plant, the issue is the fascist's encouraging response to genocidial proposals.

[drm604]

8. I know what you're saying. The same thought crossed my mind when I first saw this clip.

What he's saying sounds scripted and rehearsed. It sounds like bad acting. Plus he has the kind of deep distinctive voice that gets announcer jobs. It's also noteworthy that he wasn't shown on camera (where he might be recognized as a voice over artist by someone). I haven't seen much of that Q&A session. Did they show other questioners?

All that said, those things aren't necessarily proof that he's a plant. He could just be a guy who was hoping to question Trump and wrote down and rehearsed what he would say if he got the chance.

[teenagebambam]

9. He was shown in camera

I just watched it on CNN

[jberryhill]

12. Don't try to inject facts here

[drm604]

15. Actually I appreciate the fact. As I said, I didn't see the whole video.

What I don't appreciate is your sarcasm.

[jberryhill]

19. .

[drm604]

16. Thank you for the correction.

Do you have a link?

[jberryhill]

10. Your second paragraph

People who ask questions at these types of things don't just try to get called on and then decide what they are going to ask.

Try listening to local AM radio call in shows.

Guy sounded like 99% of the people who call those shows.

[L. Coyote]

13. He's not a plant, but his IQ is lower than a dim-witted tulip bulb.

He's definitely a human, I can say for certain because I'm both an anthropologist and experienced in taxonomy.

Of course, their is a lot of variation in humans and some of them are less intelligent than the average plant. But, if it talks and it walks, it's human, no matter how ignorant.

Trump is also a human, much as I hate to admit being the same species as he is.

[gregcrawford]

18. I have to agree with Miles...

... it's common practice, and The Donald has already been caught hiring actors to puff up attendance at his appearances; hell, he did it when he announced his candidacy.

I've been an actor for 25 years, both in community theater (shaved my head to play Daddy Warbucks!) and commercials, so I know a little bit about delivering lines. This clown was delivering lines.

Also, scripting a question is actually a very good idea, especially if someone is not entirely comfortable speaking extemporaneously in front of a crowd. It's easy to get discombobulated when you're nervous. This guy wasn't nervous. I think he was a plant.

[Milliesmom]

23. So what if he was/is Muslim?

Like Don lemon say's what would it matter? Does this man and many of Trumps sheep think that all Muslins are terrorists?

I found this most interesting watching the reactions of the two women over Trumps left shoulder and also the man in the gray shirt with the mustache and goatee!

[youceyec]

26. not a plant

look at his body language. i like to think of myself as a good judge of acting and IF he was a plant he deserves 10 Oscars.

[DUgosh]

27. IMHO - not planted

Sounds like 12 of my 13 brother-in-laws
