Trump fires back at Clinton over Muslim ban: 'Ask Hillary who blew up the plane last night'
The Hill ^ | 5/19/2016 | By Caitlin Yilek

Donald Trump is firing back at Hillary Clinton

for saying his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. promotes terrorism.

“The fact that Hillary thinks the temporary Muslim ban, which she calls the ‘Muslim ban’, promotes terrorism, proves Bernie Sanders

was correct when he said she is not qualified to be President,” the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign said in a statement on Thursday. Clinton was critical of Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the country in an interview with CNN.

“When you run for president of the United States, the entire world is listening and watching,” she told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “So when you say you’re going to bar all Muslims, you’re sending evidence to the Muslim world, and you’re also sending a message to terrorists. … Donald Trump is essentially being used as a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism.”

Trump seized on the moment to fire off an attack that Sanders used against the former secretary of state in early April, saying she is unqualified to be president and linked the critique to the disappearance of a jet headed from Paris to Cairo.

Trump is so quick with his jabs counter punching Hillary that she seems to be cracking up. The fact is she is too slow and cannot think on her feet and he seems to catch her off guard over and over again. Hillary has been so insulated from the real world that she simply does not know what to do. That comment about asking who is behind the Egypt airliner blowing up is a checkmate.

It was the US through missile smuggling through Benghazi.

Because we were arming “the good extremists,” right, Hillary?

the Egyptian government says its almost certainly a terrorist attack.........as have several supposed air safety experts.

We will hopefully eventually be told the final outcome.
Now, while I initially thought Mr. Trump might have been a bit hasty, risky about this......his suggestion that it was terrorists....does appear at least to be the leading official expert POV. So, he was not off base with his comment. And note how quickly Hillary ran to the defense of any probable or possible Muslim terorrists!???? She’s definitely keyed up to earning the $100,000,000.00 she’s taken recently from Muslim Arab IslamoNazi dictators on the Arabian Peninsula. either that, or her 27/7/365 Muslim girlfriend is still writing her scripts

Yes, she’s not used to Republicans who fight back.
The way it’s worked for her for 25 years is, she calls her opponent a 1. racist, 2. ________phobe, 3. bigot, or reaches down Crusty, having manufactured some transparently bogus explanation, then as on cue the MSM piles on and the miscreant meekly apologizes.

Trump counter-punches. Refreshing, ain’t it?

"Donald Trump is essentially being used as a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism.”

If the mainstream media were honest (ha!), they would brand this as complete BS.

What a shrew.

The fact is that most politicians and their effete, housetrained journalists wouldn’t last one day in the average bluecollar work environment.

The normal teasing and mocking would reduce these sissies to a blubbering mass of nerves. You learn to fire back as good as you get, and Trump for all his money is cut from that same cloth. When he turns this talent on a pampered beeotch like Hillary she hasn’t got a chance of keeping up.

Trump is talking to the Democrats exactly why Republicans have always been terrified of doing!

Hillary receives hundreds of millions from the Arab States, so she will defend terrorism (She also funded and armed ISIS) to the end of her days. She can’t be trusted. Hell, the FBI’s espionage department is doing the investigation on her
