Donald Trump: 'I Don't Think America Is a Safe Place for Americans'
ABC News ^ | March 27, 2016 | BEN CANDEA NICKI ROSSOLL

Posted on 03/27/2016 11:53:10 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump doesn't believe American citizens are safe in their own country.

The frontunner for the GOP's nomination expressed his concerns after he was asked whether Americans should feel safe traveling to Europe following last week's terror attacks in Brussels. Bombings at the capital's airport and a metro station killed 28 people, including at least two Americans.

"I don’t think America is a safe place for Americans, you want to know the truth,” Trump said, later adding, "We're allowing thousands of people to come in here. Nobody knows where they're from. Nobody knows who they are and they're coming in here by the thousands and let me tell you something, we're going to have problems."

While it was unclear which groups Trump was referring to, he proposed banning all Muslims from entering the U.S. following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris and wants to build a safe zone for Syrian refugees instead of allowing them to enter the U.S.

Trump has also asserted that President Obama wants to allow 250,000 Syrian refugees to come to the country but the administration has only agreed to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next year.

THAT is the reason for 0bama to have the dust up in Dallas last summer that immediately preceded the ‘affordable housing’ SCOTUS mandate. He’s going to flood small places with ‘Syrians.’

My 2 cents.

I agree with the poster who wrote of this being the last time we’ll be able to talk America 1st. We are within range of being completely overwhelmed.

I love my country, warts and all as is sometimes said.....it's had difficult times before, with both good and bad leadership, but it is still remains a great country!

I don’t need to be schooled by you on the threats to this country....and I sure as heck don’t need the likes of you to call me an idiot. I’m fully aware of what our government is doing. ...but that does not change the fact that this country is still a great country and I don’t at all appreciate Trumps constant slamming ‘everything’ about it.... Since when do we need a potential leader that hasn’t anything good to say about our nation??? ...and yet he’s running for it’s highest office???? Really????

Ronald Reagan never made a speech that didn’t invoke America’s greatness........”Don’t let anyone tell you that America’s best days are behind her - that the American spirit has been vanquished. We’ve seen it triumph too often in our lives to stop believing in it now”....... Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan never made a speech that didn’t invoke America’s greatness......Trump never talks without slamming America in one form or another....

And if you , as you stated, don’t care what people like me believe, who still think this is a great country, then stop engaging me, it’s that simple.

That was a different world, this isn't the 1980s This is 2016. Millions since have become the results of these destructed, reckless D.C. polices. They've driven the U.S. into decline in every direction.

This is not complex.

We all know what these last eight years have been....and even those prior. Nobody’s saying otherwise.....that doesn’t mean we don’t have good things to also say about our nation. The very Spirit of the American People is still in tact or we wouldn’t be fighting to restore what these years have done via the Obama Administration... Most of all that we still have the “freedom” to do so, and that’s a GREAT thing.

I’m not nor have I said we don’t have a serious problem with those coming into the country. I’ve been following the Muslim infiltration since 9/11...as much as Congress failing to act against that.

9/1l should have caused our borders to be closed then....in fact they never should have been ‘fully’ opened as Clinton did prior when President......but this is where we are today because of our Congressional Leaders unwillingness to address this and to act to protect this country....for that matter all International Leaders have had blinders on for years over the Islamic threat....it’s not like they haven’t known....they’ve been warned many many times.

Too late now...they’re here and they’re doing damage already.....and will continue to do so.

...”Our primary has become a circus, and the base that is discontent with the GOP is as divided as anything I have ever seen, and ripe to be conquered”......

I can agree with that. It wouldn’t take much for a “Dictator at heart” with an agenda of his own to step into the fray. The hatred toward our government, and the condition most see as a country beaten down is ripe for such....and I’m not convinced this election will fix that no matter who is elected.

i don’t think that this or any election is going to fix what’s wrong.

We have some fundamental and systematic flaws, and on top of that, people, especially those who seek power over others, are greedy, corrupt and totally dishonest.

And on top of that, those people are manufacturing a base of people that support those qualities.

It’s unreal...except that it’s totally real.

Well that should have shown you I’m quite aware of where this country is at.....but again.....this country has the “freedom” to change the course and that’s a Great thing about this nation and what makes it STILL a great nation.

...”And on top of that, those people are manufacturing a base of people that support those qualities....It’s unreal...except that it’s totally real”....

That is exactly right!... and a very powerful statement that too few grasp. Which is why from Government to the workplace, to the home, greed, corruption and dishonesty are not only tolerated they’ve become the accepted “norm”.

It really boils down to people saying...”I want to do right, but I will decide what’s right.”....or as it’s written...”Every way of a man is right in his own eyes”...

The abortionists have decided that they are doing the right thing.... Planned Parenthood has decided that abortion is right.... The U.S. Supreme Court has decided that abortion is right..... Over 50,000,000 women in the United States have decided that abortion is right. ....But God calls it Murder.

We are fast approaching our demise and a President cannot change the nature of leaders nor those who follow them.

If you can engage your brain and “say “ something I might respond....so what’s your point?

I’ll engage with any until the name calling and insults come into the fray......Trumpsters like to gang up and slam posters if they’re a Cruz supporter....although their are ties when that does occur I’ll “hit back”. ...unlike our border I have boundaries.

Good luck with all that.

Btw, could you post that pic comparing Trump and his supporters to Hitler? Or was it Mussolini? I saw some video of leftist in Berkeley CA parading around with stuff like that. It reminded me of planet of the apes.

“You can believe your going to get those things via Trump...I don’t.”

I am sure Hillary will give those things, she promises everything to everyone anyway. Gullible.
