Donald Trump Says Proposed Muslim Ban Would Not Apply to His Rich Friends
Yahoo! News ^ | March 31, 2016 | Zak Cheney-Rice, Mic

Breathe easy, America. Before you judge Donald Trump's proposed Muslim ban too harshly, consider this: It will not apply to Muslims who are, A. Donald Trump's friends, and B. rich.

Feel better?

The Republican presidential candidate, with a totally straight face, told MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday that he has "a lot of friends that are Muslim," many of whom are "rich" and would get special treatment to let them in the country....

Hes doing the dirty work for Soros, Establishment, MSM and democrats against the one they fear. And for what? Cruz cannot win. All he can do is get A democrat elected.

So when the “Trump is a PoopyHead” crowd gets their head out of their ass and stop being tools of the enemy with the 24/7 hate-Trump push we might get on with saving America.

Oh and I’m a USMC vet. So I have no issue with calling out another vet making a mistake.

"I have, actually, believe it or not, I have a lot of friends that are Muslim, and they call me," Trump said. "In most cases, they're very rich Muslim."

"But do they get into the country?" Matthews asked.

"Oh, they'll come in," Trump responded. "How do you let them in?" Matthews replied. "They'll come in," Trump said. "And you'll have exceptions."

---

Trump didn't say they'll have exceptions, he said and YOU'LL have exceptions

He was talking about there being exceptions to the muslim ban, he didn't say anything about giving special treatment to his rich friends.

That's pretty pathetic excuse for an article, but then again, it is from Chrissy Matthews and MSNBC.

This isn’t new news. He said a long time ago that there would be exceptions for heads of state, business, etc. His problem is with people who aren’t vetted, making sure we let in people who are decent people and not radical Islamic terrorists.

The media really don’t have to misconstrue Trump...just give him a few hours or so and he will do that to himself.

Had no idea he was able to misconstrue his own meaning Its pretty amazing. The guy is very talented. I wasn't even sure it made any kind of sense to say someone could do that.

Trump 2016 :-)

Your language regarding Freepers who post and those who support Cruz just evidences how low you guys will stoop....

All news and journalist articles are “Open” for discussion, opposing the topic or agreeing with......even CNN had great debates and they were the worst prior.

The problem as I see it is the Trump supporters seem to love to sabatogue any thread that doesn’t speak favorable of Trump or anything about him until the discussion is impossible.... And that my friend is exactly the tactic used ‘to silence the truth’ from ever being revealed.....when truth is silenced then it’s never known.

...”Had no idea Trump was able to misconstrue his own meaning”....

Really? Then maybe you’re not listening to what he’s saying from one day to the other on the issues and comments he makes. Perhaps your ears are only hearing what you want to hear..

Yes I remember him making that really clear.

And yes, I remember his critics immediately taking short parts of his larger point and extrapolating it to mean he wanted a forever ban on all Muslims without exception.

Sadly there is no amount of explanation and straightforward clarity that can make someone who wants to misrepresent his position unable to take something out of context, twist it, and misrepresent his position.

This is a time honored process of leftwing bullying and slander.

Republicans always resort to commie-liberals like this author to fight their battles.

Which is why I am no longer a Republican.

Address the issue: why is the “Trump is a PoopyHead” crowd indistinguishable from the Soros, Democrat, MSM, Establishment crowd? Seems when one is aligned that close to the enemy of America something is wrong and logically its not the one who is being attacked by that group.

Awwww, changing one's position is not that great a feat. But actually being able to misinterpret one's position is just awesome! What a great guy!

Elections are as fluid as a running river..as you know....just as much as the dynamics and players in it move where they need to to maintain their position or re-position themselves in the landscape.... equally as much those influencing it where they can and do move according to the changes in the environment.

LOL!

caww, you're such a recent FReeper (2009-11-05) that you don't understand that one of the very reasons FR got going in the first place was to TRACK THE JOURNALISTS, who in past days would scuttle out from their monolithic News Source, crap out their vile droppings, then scuttle cockroach-like back into the safety and anonymity of their MotherShip.

We started noting who was writing what vile screed YEARS AGO.

That is why MY first reaction was to identify young SJW/community organizer Zak Cheney-Rice - because I didn't recognize the name, nor the "news" outlet.

It's one of the things we do here. It's how we took down Dan Rather and his puppetmaster Mary Mapes - looking into the motivations BEHIND the "news piece", rather than at the news piece itself.

Haven't had a lot of time to work on it, due to the FR Uncivil War, but it's got a little flesh to it.

It's what I do. :)

Borrow some from Trump. He’s clearly been missing quite a few doses the last few months.

publana, Latuda, it's cool in your world. Don't listen to the TV. It means you harm.

So Latuda is part of the cocktail Trump is missing! Thanks for the info. Unlike you, I am not up on the latest anti-psychotics. Had to look it up. I thought you were attempting to speak Spanish to me. Heh.
