Trump Would Bring Back Waterboarding
“I like Donald Trump ’cause he’s for the people, he speaks the truth”, said Sarah Daniels, a Trump supporter from Fremont, Ohio. They don’t use waterboarding, they used chopping off peoples heads. “I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they’d do to us”, he said. He said: “I agree that there’s no such thing as political correctness when you are fighting an enemy who wants to destroy you”. The latest “Washington Post”/ABC News polls showed him leading his Republican competitors with 32 percent support, followed by neurosurgeon Ben Carson. He garnered a 40% trust rating. His rival Jeb Bush has called it a sign of weakness.
Trump also suggested that there should be a database which would focus more on refugees than all Muslim Americans.
Trump has threated to sue New Day for America and reportedly said through a spokesman that Mair “worked for Scott Walker and lost her job – who can blame her?” If I’m treated fairly, I’m fine. I want mosques surveilled.
In 2009, the Obama administration banned waterboarding, which then-Attorney General Eric Holder called “torture”.
The technique of waterboarding involves putting a cloth over a subject’s face and pouring water over the cloth, which causes the sensation of drowning.
Last year, the Senate Intelligence Report found that waterboarding didn’t actually work in gleaning important information from detainees, though the CIA maintains that waterboarding helped the agency obtain information that eventually led to the location of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden’s in Pakistan. In 2003, Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in one month.
Critics contend the practice has been proven unreliable and largely ineffective compared to standard interrogation techniques.
I would bring it back, yes. Over the weekend, he attempted to distance himself from the idea, saying it came from a reporter, not himself.
When asked about a Muslim database Trump explained, “I want a database for the refugees that if they come into the country”.
“We got to stay away from that stuff or it’s going to cost us the election”, said Borges, who remains officially neutral and pledged to support whoever wins the GOP nomination. We don’t know if it’s ISIS. “We have to surveil the mosques”. “The man that was – I don’t know, you say “roughed up” – he was so obnoxious and so loud”.
When it came to the topic of the media, Trump had harsh words to say about how the media portrays him.
He said: “I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down”. It was on television. The police in New Jersey too dismissed rumours on the internet which said that locals in Paterson in New Jersey cheered the attack.
