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."

Yeah, maybe Jeb will bring it. Oh, wait...

How clever!

Where did you hear Mmogamer’s muslim cigar store owner give any speeches?

[hoosiermama]

Good message. Stay away from alcohol, drugs (adds cigarettes.) Do something you love to do. You will wake up in the morning looking forward to day. Looking forward to life. Enjoy life

Tells them how their parents are beaming. So proud of them

Again only mentions his adult children.( Very protective of young ones )

[Catsrus]

And you are a liar. You never supported Trump in the first place - I suspect you are a troll.

[mbrfl]

You’re absolutely correct.

[null and void]

how many Mooselim voters do you suppose there are in the U.S.A....at the moment?

Legal voters?

No idea.

Total voters?

Enough to get the democrat party to vote God and Israel off the democrat party platform THREE TIMES.

Bonus question: How many muslims does it take to assassinate a presidential candidate?

[smoothsailing]

Same as Obama saying he loves Christians.

Neither man is being truthful, that’s not hard to see.

Which do you prefer?

[JoSixChip]

Instead of opening yet another can of worms he decided to defuse it, just like the Carly face comment.

That was my immediate thought as well.

[JennysCool]

How about we make America American again? First. Then we can deal with issues like that as Americans, not as a third world nation where, for example, you might just find "Black Lives Matter" taking your property under the guise of "reparations," ala Zimbabwe.

The hour is late. We have to become Americans again or we will surely lose it all. Once that is accomplished, we can deal with the other issues.

[BobL]

Trump still wants to get elected...

[Jane Long]

More ‘splody heads in the MSM/RNC/Rove/GOPeee.....now, Trump will win the Muslim vote, too :-/

[MeshugeMikey]

allegedly mohammadens make up one in a hundred U.S. Voters...

who can sau for sure

[JimSEA]

Okay, but Donald, I don’t love Muslims. They are out to destroy my values and lifestyle.

[null and void]

I've never heard about nor read of the Prospective Republican Candidate for President from NYC...expressing any such displeasure.

That's nice.

But I was asking about Mmogamer’s muslim cigar store owner "friend".

[jwalsh07]

OK. Vote Cruz.

[sheikdetailfeather]

You are highly observant. That is a fact from A to Z. Every person Trump says he loves gets bashed within a day or two. LOL!

[proust]

“Bonus question: How many muslims does it take to assassinate a presidential candidate?”

Bonus bonus question: Where does the word assassin come from?

[Future Snake Eater]

He takes a lot of their money in business deals. I’d probably love them, too. From a great distance.
