Trump to meet with Netanyahu Dec. 28

Former boxing champion Muhammad Ali, one of the best-known US Muslims, appeared on Wednesday to join the chorus condemning the proposal by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to temporarily stop Muslims from entering the country.

“We believe these numbers are made up of some people who are truly expressing religious bigotry and others who are fearful about terrorism and are willing to do anything they think might make us safer”, said Doug Usher of Purple Strategies.

More than 70,000 people signed a petition calling for Mr Trump’s degree to be revoked after his comments sparked outrage.

“If the United Kingdom is to continue applying the “unacceptable behavior” criteria to those who wish to enter its borders, it must be fairly applied to the rich as well as poor, and the weak as well as powerful”, the petition stated. The local group hopes to raise between $250,000 and $300,000 by the end of 2016 so that it can start construction on the mosque in 2017.

And it was reported that he plans to come to Britain to open his Trump Turnberry golf course in Scotland next year.

Trump quickly fired back via Twitter: @Mayor_Nutter of Philadelphia, who is doing a bad job, should be ashamed for using such a disgusting word in referring to me.

Trump went on to criticize Hillary Clinton, saying she doesn’t have the “strength or the stamina” to be president.

And he insisted: “I have respect for the Muslim people and have great friendships with many Muslims, some of whom I do business with but they themselves admit there is a major problem with radicalisation”.

Trump said he was not likely to wage a third-party candidacy, but the billionaire businessman would not rule it out.

“I know why you’re not going to support me: you’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money”, Trump joked to the largely Jewish audience.

Donald Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on December 28, according to an Israeli government official, who said that the meeting was scheduled two weeks ago.

Trump also told Lemon, “I am the least racist person that you have ever met”, and he confidently predicted that will win both the Hispanic and African-American vote.

Kasich was asked about Trump following a 30-minute address on national security and foreign policy before the prestigious organization.

British police issued a rare rebuke after comments by Trump to USA network MSNBC claiming there were places in London “that are so radicalised that the police are afraid for their own lives”.
