Trump says won’t take back remark on Muslims ‘cheering’ 9/11 attacks

“Everything I do gets publicity, and probably some of the Black Lives Matter folks called (the pastors) up and said, ‘You shouldn’t meet with Trump”, Trump said on “Morning Joe” on Monday.

“One thing I’ve learned about the press is that they’re always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better”. If I said, ‘Well, people have said Mr. Trump’s not worth $10 billion, and people were saying, ‘ you would say that’s insane.

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump insisted on Sunday he was “100 percent right” when he said he saw Muslims in Jersey City, New Jersey, cheering the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center even though fact-checkers have debunked his claim.

What theology do you believe Mr. Trump possesses when his politics are so clearly anti-Black?

“All over at the world at the time it was reported that Muslims were celebrating the downing”.

Gawker quips, “A Trump campaign spokesperson says Trump will still meet with the group, in private”. Later that afternoon, a New Jersey police officer spotted the van and arrested five suspicious Israelis, at least two of whom were reportedly determined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be Israeli intelligence operatives.

Trump said after the incident, “Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing”.

“What he said was that he would take that into consideration”, Morgan said.

An open letter published in Ebony magazine from more than 100 African-American religious leaders cautioned others to “think of Trump’s rhetoric before meeting with him”.

Bush also criticized Trump’s approach to Syria, saying he has shifted positions repeatedly. “I respectively declined as I do not support nor will endorse Donald Trump”.

Trump himself explained – years ago – that his recipe for success includes getting attention.

Trump also drew criticism recently for re-tweeting an image of inaccurate statistics that vastly over-represented the number of whites killed by blacks.

“What we were able to do today was allow people to see his heart for themselves and to make up their own minds about him”, said Darrell Scott, the senior pastor of New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who helped to organize the meeting. Nobody can find evidence of this, but the article you tweeted out that said you backed it up, that in itself there were three or four different reports that month in New Jersey that said that it was a myth, a false rumor, FBI, you name it!

Trump came under fire last week after making remarks at a rally and in a nationally televised appearance that he had seen thousands of people in Jersey City cheer the collapse of the Twin Towers in Manhattan.
