Donald Trump Immediately Blusters About Brussels Attacks

A series of deadly explosions ripped through the Brussels airport and a subway station in the heart of the city Tuesday morning. The death toll continues to mount — it stood at 34 dead, more than 170 wounded as of this writing — and in the immediate aftermath of the bombings, little other information had yet emerged about the attacks.

The lack of immediately available information did not deter Republican frontrunner Donald Trump from tying the Brussels bombings to the Paris attacks, and the Paris attacks to illegal immigration first thing Tuesday morning. Trump suggested America is vulnerable to a similar attack unless the country moves swiftly to enact his plans to build a wall along the Mexican border and bar Muslims from entering the country indefinitely.

Trump made his case in phone calls to both Fox & Friends and Good Morning America just hours after the attacks.

"Brussels is an amazing example: Brussels was an absolutely crime-free city, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and now you look at it, it's a disaster," Trump said on the Fox morning show. "Those countries better get smart face because they're just disintegrating. I have friends who live in Brussels, they say the place is literally disintegrating."
