‘Yes, I would bring back waterboarding . . . it’s peanuts compared to

After pointing out that a majority of the Syrian refugees were, in fact, women and children, Stephanopoulos wondered if Trump would bring back waterboarding, which was banned by President Barack Obama. “Well, we have to be strong”.

“I think people are surprised that, you know, they’re politicians and they’ve been doing this stuff all their lives. That’s a whole different level and I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation”.

“We have no idea who these people are”, Trump said.

“Waterboarding is a form of water torture in which water is poured over a cloth covering the face and breathing passages of an immobilized captive, causing the individual to experience the sensation of drowning”, the article explained.

He said such a registry should focus on Syrian refugees, whom he called “a Trojan Horse”, adding they should not be allowed in.

Appearing on Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” Donald Trump was asked if he was “unequivocally” ruling out a database to track all Muslims.

“I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they’d do to us, what they’re doing to us, what they did to James Foley when they chopped off his head”, Trump said, referring to the American journalist who was executed previous year in a gruesome Internet video.

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week”, the Republican presidential front-runner said that in the wake of the Paris attacks by ISIS the United States must ramp up surveillance at mosques, particularly in NY City. Carson says there shouldn’t be limits to what the USA can do when it comes to terrorists. “I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation”. “We have to surveil the mosques”. I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down – as those buildings came down – and that tells you something.

I will have to see what happens, he said.

Business magnate and leading Republican candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, continues to resort to populism in his attempt to win votes.

Trump also accused residents of New Jersey of cheering the September 11, 2001, fall of the World Trade Center towers.

“There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations”, Trump said.

Trump said earlier this summer that the controversial interrogation technique “doesn’t sound very severe” compared to ISIS beheadings.
