Why hasn't "Trump Pals Around With Muslims" become a thing yet?

This hypocrisy needs to be exposed...

(Just to clarify. I'm in no way saying it's a bad thing to have Muslim friends.

It's using their (Republican propagandists') words against him.

I actually live in a Muslim majority country and think he needs to shut up about Muslims.)

against Obama because he was black

"Pal around with terrorists/muslims" etc

Obama goes to Cairo to speak to Muslims, trying to break down adversarial barriers.

When Trump made his remarks about Muslims, it's so damaging around the world - it probably undid much of Obama's efforts. They were playing video of Trump on Al Jazeera and around the middle east.

Remarks like those should have disqualified him but unfortunately, about 60% of Republicans agree with him and want Muslims locked out of the US.

So short sighted and sad.

You just show Trump and his friends. And ask who are his friends, or you could quote him under the pictures. That is neither a slur nor is it not fact.
Who knows but it might backfire and get him a new audience.

Show him to be a complete fraud with his stirring up of the hatred, plus show that Muslims are not ISIS and perhaps nullify some of that fear mongering.
