Donald Trump on Saturday responded to a question from CNN about whether Muslims pose a danger to the country, saying: "I love the Muslims. I think they're great people."
The Republican presidential front-runner made the comment after addressing high school students here at their homecoming Saturday night.
During a question-and-answer session with students, Trump was unable to avoid being asked about the latest political controversy dogging his campaign: his decision not to correct a supporter this week who called President Barack Obama a Muslim.
One student told Trump that she considered Muslim-Americans to be an important segment of the country. They asked whether the billionaire businessman would consider putting a Muslim in his Cabinet or on his ticket.
"Oh, absolutely," Trump responded. "No problem with that."

You mean you haven’t picked up on Trump’s method of mannerly deflection. What do you think he is going to say? “I hate Muslims”?
Exactly! Trump is not stupid and isn’t going to give some stupid answer that beats around the bush.
This clown’s 15 minutes are up. Someone get the hook.
...They asked whether the billionaire businessman would CONSIDER putting a Muslim in his Cabinet or on his ticket.
“Oh, absolutely,” Trump responded. “No problem with that.”...
I consider stuff all the time.
Executing a decision, completely different
Onlly once or twice in every speech up to last Wednesday. Try something else.
OO, she’s lovely, and she’s an actual female dressed as a female.
Remarkable!
If Trump is not smart enough to understand that Islam means to destroy Western Civilization, he is not smart enough to be POTUS!
No longer will I support Trump!
If you’re not smart enough to see what Trump was doing I don’t think he wants your vote.
Let me educate you - he wants to keep out illegals - and that means all illegals regardless of race, or religion. You are so wrong - there are many Hispanics who hate us - as evidenced by those who come over the border and commit crimes. Not all Muslims hate us - you are generalizing - this simply isn’t true.
how many Mooselim voters do you suppose there are in the U.S.A....at the moment?
Nah. He says the same thing about Mexicans, and says often how much he loves Mexicans. And maybe he does. But he’s still going to build a wall. Trump also said he thinks Rick Perry is a great guy, when Perry bowed out, but that didn’t stop him from slamming the guy hard when he went after him.
Keith Ellison is available for Trumps running mate.
Ah.. have you ever heard the saying.. "read between the lines?"
What??
Where did I say that a Muslim can't be part of the US.
Of. Course. I. Didn't. Moron.
As the other poster pointed out....
'The right answer was “I am looking for Constitutionalists.”'
I disagree. He said what every presidential candidate today would say. If any of them come out and said “No, I am prejudiced against muslims” they would be through. He does put himself out there a lot to answer questions off the cuff. I like that. Who else does that as much as Trump?
Ive never heard about nor read of the Prospective Republican Candidate for President from NYC...expressing any such displeasure.
just ask Hungary or Angola
I know...I tried that link, and they didn’t post. Here’s the only thing I’ve been able to find, so far....
