'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.

FR THREAD: Megachurch Pastor Paula White Marries 3rd Husband.. [Trump's evangelical connection]

August 30, 2015: Trump Hosts Televangelists Who Fleece Their Flocks

"...White, like Trump, [Paula White ] is also a big fan of cash. She's typically characterized as a proponent of the prosperity gospel - a theologically suspect approach to Christianity whereby pastors (often before huge congregations or on TV broadcasts) tell listeners that God wants them to become very wealthy, and that if they just give "a seed" to said pastors' ministries, they'll reap great financial returns and be #blessed. White's e-store features a sermon called "Why God Wants You Wealthy." Of course, Donald Trump wants people to be rich as well, which is why White once offered her viewers - for a ministry contribution of $25 - a copy of Trump's book Why We Want You to Be Rich. Everyone wants you to be rich! Praise the Lord!"......

Oh get off it!

You've been posting these an ti-Trump; spews moth after month after month after month after month after month, AFTER MONTH!

They aren't "news" they aren't going to change anyone's mind; they're just FLAME BAIT and THAT is why you post them ! And please do NOT even think of denying that, because you will become the object of ridicule, derision , and much later!

This is your obsession and passion; though what you actually get out of it, I'll never know and really don't want to. But you need to realize that you have a sickness!

If you want to understand what the banks and their real estate collaborators did to us, go see “The Big Short.” Unfxxxing believable.

I am a very unsociable person - and even I have a few Muslim friends... I can pretty much guarantee Trump could list 20 Muslim people he knows, if he wanted too...

Considering what Trump has said about Muslims and a temporary hiatus in immigration, I doubt he would expose his friends to the negative publicity, maybe even danger, that might be associated with being a friend of Trump.

Do you agree with Donald Trump that banks should be nationalized?

Here is the reason that I support Donald Trump: The country has been going in the wrong direction, i.e., away from a Constitutional Republic and towards a totalitarian kleptocarcy, for a long time. We go slower under Republicans and faster under Democrats, but the direction is the same. All of the current candidates for President, except one, are under the financial control of the ruling class. Even the professed anti-establishment candidates are compromised. Only Donald Trump because he is self-funding has any chance to change things in a way that deminishes the power of the ruling class.

Maybe he won’t do what he says, but we know for a fact that any of the others will continue on the current path. So the choice is between the status quo or a chance for restoration of the Republic.

She’s been here longer than yourself.

Disagreement is not lurking nor infiltrating.

FWIW, she’s been conservative longer than Trump.

In that regard, who can pronounce 20 Muslim names (other than Mo’)?

So, because he uses his money - for now - you ignore his liberal positions, his associations and his character?

He lives in the ruling class but now says he's not and that he's your friend.

You're being played and you don't care?
