1. Profiling is too big a word for him. n/t

2. Just this morning he was bemoaning the screening process of incoming foreigners in this country,

which he said led to the weekend bombings in NY and NJ. And he said he would improve on the process.

How else will you improve the process if you don't engage in profiling to some degree?

3. I wonder how the subject of the Jersey/NYC bombings

would have been judged under Trump as a 3-month-old baby in 1995.

I believe what is called for is some soul-searching over the prevalence of racism in our own country. Perhaps years of exposure to insults over you and your family's otherness, habits, dress, religion can cause frustration and resentment in second generation immigrants is helping drive the violence. Bigotry is so casual here that whole swaths of people just take it for granted.

4. Too much HYPERBOLE Donald has prejudice against Muslims NOT hate

Can we use a better term than hate to describe Trump's view of Muslim.
I am sorry I can not go along with this Donald-trump-hates-Muslims theme. Donald grossly overestimates the Jihadist Muslim threat in America which leads him to impractical policies such as banning foreign Muslims from entering into the United States. Donald grossly overestimates the degree which jihadist Islam exists within the American Muslim community. Donald grossly overestimates the labelling of Islamic(certain brand of Islamic) terrorists as "radical Islam" being the solution to eliminate terrorism but Donald does not look at every single Muslim as some type of barbarian. Let's accurately describe Trump's view of Muslims in order to avoid the Right from being distracted from our main concerns.
