I am as opposed to Syrian refugees as anyone. I would strongly prefer that we take 0 refugees. I fear what they may do once here, up to, and including nuclear terrorism.

But trump ought to learn how to use the language correctly. That the Syrians are a denger, there is no doubt. But a military coup is when a country’s own military overthrown from within the previously legitimate government of the country.

We could face many things from the Syrians: terrorism; failure to assimilate; if it led to further moslem immigration to our country, the islamification of our culture; but a military coup d’etat is not one of them. I don’t see large numbers of American generals and admirals, colonels and captains, etc., moving to overthrow our government.

I don’t think that’s what trump meant, I think he meant, possibly, some sort of military invasion on the part of ISIS by smuggling in fighters in the 200,000.

That’s a “military invasion,” not a “military coup.”

If he’s going to be president, he should learn the meanings of words. This is worse than Jeb conducting his campaign in Spanish. Trump is speaking gibberish; at least for those who understand spanish, Jeb is comprehensible (although his words in any language are unacceptable as US policy).
