TYT: Trump: Muslim Ban Has Nothing To Do With Religion

Donald Trump called for a total ban on all muslim immigration. When asked about it, his answer was textbook Trump… Cenk Uygur, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Trump insisted Wednesday morning on "Live With Kelly and Michael" that his ban wasn't related to religion and that the nation needs to "get its act together."

“It’s not about religion, it’s about safety," Trump said. "This has nothing to do with religion, it’s about safety.”

That conflicts with what he said Tuesday morning in an interview with MSNBC. When pressed by "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist about if he would question individuals before or after they arrived in the U.S., Trump responded that U.S. custom agents would have to ask travelers if they were Muslim and turn them away if they responded, "yes.””*

Trump opens his mouth and stupid shit falls out. Banning Muslims has nothing to do with religion....you just can't make this up.

Trump is proving to be a master of exploiting fear. You may categorize societal fear into five groups.

Fear of the rulers. Trump exploits this by attacking the "elites", such as the mainstream media, the corrupt Republican establishment, the "Muslim Kenyan President" supported by Democrats, the uber-rich money men who control politicians.

Fear of the underclass. He attacks the blacks, the Latinos, the immigrants, the lazy "takers" who live off of our tax dollars.

Fear of the others. The Muslims, foreigners, the different religious faiths.

Fear of change. The feminists, women and minorities in power, economic chaos.

Fear of new knowledge. Climate change, medical breakthroughs, scientific paradigms being overthrown.

Is that he apparently believes that the truth is what he says it is. I shudder at the thought of a president who lives in a fantasy world.
