Hillary Clinton to Seth Meyers: Trump Is No Longer Funny
Muhammad Ali has hit out at Donald Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.
Recently it would seem that Anonymous has a new target in their sights, and it is none other than Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“But then you pull yourself together and, especially, if you want to be a leader of our country, and you say: ‘OK, what are we going to do about it? I can’t make them up”, Trump said on Fox News. “They say, ‘Donald, you brought something up to the fore that is so brilliant and so fantastic'”.
On Twitter early Monday, Trump asked, “What sport is he talking about, and who?” – even though Trump has met Ali several times, and even received an award named after the former heavyweight champion in 2007.
Attacking “out of touch” MPs who abused him for his comments on Muslims he tweeted: ‘Everybody is wise to what is happening, very sad.
In a statement, the three-time heavyweight boxing world champion said: “I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world”.
“He said stop letting them in temporarily until Homeland Security…can get a hold of what in the heck is going on and give us a little more protection”, said Ardith Forrest, 76, of Georgia.
‘Believe me, I think that the worst thing that ever happened to Israel happened to be Barack Obama, that I can tell you, ‘ he said, without provocation.
Mr. Trump has further clarified his views, telling ABC News that his idea was not about religion, but about “safety”.
Talks between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were arranged for later this month before Trump sensationally made a call to ban all Muslims from America.
Views are mixed among Republicans: Forty-two percent of GOP respondents supported the proposal, while 36 percent opposed it. Among Republican primary voters, however, 38 percent supported it and 39 percent were opposed.
Three in four Democrats opposed Trump’s plan, but Republicans were split.
