Donald Trump played it safe Friday at the 2015 Sunshine Summit, focusing his remarks on immigration and foreign policy instead of continuing his criticism of Ben Carson, and cancelling a press conference shortly after leaving the stage.
The Republican presidential hopeful made no mention of Carson during his speech despite releasing an ad targeting the retired neurosurgeon just hours prior. Within minutes of concluding his remarks and leaving the stage, Trump's campaign notified a crowded room of reporters he would no longer be available for a Q&A.
Trump's campaign did not provide a reason for the last-minute cancellation, but the GOP candidate took the stage Friday less than an hour after news broke of a series of terror attacks in Paris, France.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who's surpassed Trump as the GOP front-runner both nationally and in key early primary states, was scheduled to speak at the same gathering of Florida Republicans immediately after Trump.
Due to the two candidates back-to-back remarks, dozens of reporters missed several minutes of Carson's speech while waiting for Trump to arrive in the briefing room.
The same ones who were doing it this morning.
1. BUILD A WALL
2. DEPORT THE ILLEGALS.
What’s not to understand?
Do both.
“Trump is a narcissistic idiot. Anyone who votes for Trump is an idiot!”
Yeh that idiot Trump is the only person who has repeatedly warned that bringing in these Syrian whatevers could be a Trojan horse. Looks like he was right. (sarc)
I keep saying that, everyone assures me I misunderstand and I just hate Cruz.
He’s probably mad as hell but we can pray for him that he will realize that God is ultimately in control. If he wants to know why this stuff is occurring he can call me.
logistics......obviously.
At least on 2.
But that’s beside the point. Those are NOT THE SAME ISSUE. I typed that as slowly as I could. Not sure if it was slow enough.
You sound very silly.
I would like to see Trump just take the weekend off and play golf at Maralaga and rest up. This Paris attack will be 24/7 for days anyway.
Behind you all the way!!!
Because Trump is an American first, like all the rest of us here...God Bless us all....
I fully understand your point. Trump should take a day off, and consult some serious folks about this matter. Then give an ass-kicking speech about it.
Let Obama go golfing.
“I am a Trump supporter and I do not believe he’s praying for anyone in France, simply due to his admitted lax understanding of Christ. He attends, rarely, a PCUSA (which endorses gay marriage) church and thinks holding a Bible someone gave you shows you’re a Christian.”
You sick son of a gun. You know nothing about what Trump does or doesn’t think, and to say he’s not praying for the people of Paris, France, like all of us are doing, is unconscionable on your part, you smug, supercilious, phony holy roller. You disgust me.
Didn’t obuma call this the J.V. team? Didn’t he come out today and say they have this ISIS under control?
And people believe him....how very, very stupid!!!
AMEN!!!
I keep saying that, everyone assures me I misunderstandLOL! What he says is almost verbatim what Trump says
and I just hate Cruz.He's a fraud. He's only "conservative" when it comes to abortion or religion. After that he's as much a liar and just as liberal as the rest of the (GAG!) "Washington Cartel".
See # 28, you horse’s *ss.
Have YOU watched it or just listen to the media meltdown. Trump was incredible and has nothing to apologize for.
Not just securing the border to stop those trying to sneak in, but also ending any plans to INVITE thousands of terrorists into the country, as the Obamatollah is doing.
You also know nothing about what Trump is doing, so you disgust me, as well.
Don’t know what you’re talking about. Didn’t say Trump should apologize.
