'I have at least 20 Muslim friends', says Donald Trump, but can't name them
The Daily Telegraph ^ | February 7, 2015 | David Lawler, New Hampshire

Posted on 02/07/2016 10:53:43 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

..... The Republican presidential candidate has repeatedly said that "Muslims love him" despite his provocative policies, but has so far failed to name any single individual Muslim supporter.

Asked by the Telegraph to elaborate, Mr Trump again ducked the question responding: "Oh, I could give you about 20 of them."...

Donald Trump Junior, Mr Trump's son, was also unable to tell the Telegraph who his father's Muslim friends were, saying only that they had "completed a lot of business deals" in the Middle East.

Crikes I don’t care if the guy has muslin friends or not. He probably has muslin associates from business.

Didums, they used to have these rallies for ALL candidates at that college during assemblies, took names and NOBODY was allowed to walk out!

Did every student then vote for each candidate that showed up? Did they like all of them? LOL

You're SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gullible!

And those kids, admitting this, are stupid! The prof is now going to know. And walking out was very disrespectful!

I think this is in the context of selling apartments and condos to Arabs...

I guess he has sold at least 20 within the last year ...so would count them as friends.

It's not like he has a few muslim neighbors on the block...as its a bit above street level in the Trump Tower penthouse.

This is the great thing about Trump .

He says things like he will the hispanic vote. Trump doesn’t care. The problem is, idiots like Rand Paul & Jeb Bush actually believe they need to win the hispanic vote. Trump just throws bags of crap at these idiot journalists on certain issues.

If Trump has Muslim friends they might be in danger.

Is Mike Tyson, Trump’s friend btw. A lot of black Muslims see their identity amongst black issues, not bringing in half a billion arabs.

Mike Tyson wasn’t guilty in my opinion.

A lot of Muslims don’t believe rape is a crime.

“Unlike the Cruz supporters, we use facts and thought and reason.”

Oh, please.. talk about a “projection complex”...

Many among your fellow Trump followers believe he was “sent from on high... a gift from God Himself.” Some equate him with every historical figure from Reagan to Moses, and attribute every single syllable he utters and his wildly shifting policy stances to “brilliance.” That doesn’t speak to “reason,” but to cultism, not unlike the mass worship of Obama that swept across most of this country in 2008. Nothing in the way of support for any other candidate remotely comes to that.

“I have at least 20 Muslim friends’, says Donald Trump, but can’t name them”

Ted Cruz should make this part of his stump speech. He can say “I don’t have any friends”. Nobody would challenge that.

From your link:

“......Given their history, it should come as little surprise that Tyson is endorsing Trump for president.

“Yeah! Hell, yeah,” he exclaims of Trump 2016. “That sh#t is the real deal. Listen: I’m a black mother——— from the poorest town in the country. I’ve been through a lot in life. And I know him. When I see him, he shakes my hand and respects my family. None of them - Barack, whoever - nobody else does that. They’re gonna be who they are and disregard me, my family. So I’m voting for him. If I can get 20,000 people or more to vote for him, I’m gonna do it.”

I ask Tyson, who converted to Islam while in prison, how he could support Trump, who proposed a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S.

“It’s just not gonna happen,” he says of the Muslim ban, shaking his head. “He’s just not gonna do that. Congress just won’t do that. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be president, you know what I mean?”....

Not sure of the reason for this post, but out of respect for their safety and privacy I wouldn’t give out the names of my friends either.
