    Judge for yourself:

    MSNBC Reporter: Should there be a database or system that tracks Muslims in this country?

    Donald Trump: There should be a lot of systems. Beyond databases. I mean, we should have a lot of systems. And today you can do it. But right now we have to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening in this country happen any longer.

    Reporter: But that’s something your White House would want to implement?

    Trump: Oh, I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.

    Reporter: What do you think the effect of that – how would that work?

    Trump: It would stop people from coming in illegally. We have to stop people from coming in to our country illegally.

    Reporter: But specifically, how do you actually get them registered into a database?

    Trump: It would be just good management. What you have to do is good management procedures. And we can do that. (to someone else) That’s nice.

    Reporter: Do you go to mosques and sign people up?

    Trump: Different places. You sign ‘em up at different, but it’s all about management. Our country has no management.

    Reporter: Would they have to legally be in this database, would they be–

    Trump: They have to – they have to be. Let me just tell you: People can come to the country, but they have to come legally. Thank you very much.

    It appeared to me in the video that as Trump was signing autographs he was asked this question by the Yahoo (go figure!) reporter while Trump was in the middle of his usual rants on building a wall and Trump was half listening as he answered. The real question is why everyone is so up in arms over supposedly how Trump is stating he would have registration for the First Amendment right when the left has been advocating (and still do!) some 150 million some Americans to register THEIR Second Amendment rights! Surely I am not the only one who sees the duplicity here...

    no,,,One reporter repeats it and the lemmings follow like it was gospel. I listened to the tape and Trump was clearly talking about building a wall and the reporter was talikng about registering syrians. But the fact is if they come here they are already registered as muslims on the immigration forms.

    No, it was a trick question from one of Hillary's assistants. Trump was talking about the Wall and the Clinton supporter tried getting him in trouble.

    Good management of database is what he suggested. He said the Muslim people are good people.

    he's just acting like a loose cannon -- endangering everyone and everything around him. also shows that he's unqualified to lead anything more than a cartoon world, imho.

    I agree with the national data base on those rascals!

  • 5 years ago

    He didn't say it. He just agree with it.

    He is blaming it on the media. If the media keeps outsmarting him how is he going to deal with world leaders and the media?
