The point that the media didn’t want to let Trump make was that there are problems aside from strict terrorism, and the “noo-go zones” in France and Britain are examples. Even if these people never become “terrorists” they are creating lawless pockets where the rule of law has been overtaken simply by fear and mass numbers of Muslims. This is reality on the ground and we are fools if we don’t ask ourselves what we will do to keep it from happening here.
They really need to talk to Geert Wilders, and they need to talk to Europeans who are struggling over what to do with marauding “refugees” who commit crimes and shout “Allahu Akbar” but ALSO who take the aid given them and throw it away.
Trump is saying we need to temporarily stop more Muslims from coming in until we can figure out how we’re going to prevent the same problems that documentably exist in Europe as a result of too many Muslims.
It’s no wonder they don’t want Trump talking freely; they want to ask questions that will keep him focused on false premises. Mika’s question was whether we need moderate Muslims in America to combat terrorism, and Trump pointed out that these “normal Muslims” in France and Britain were creating “no-go zones”, which is not exactly a help in combating terrorism... So he was taking the premise Mika gave him and showing why it was wrong, and the dude wouldn’t stand for it.
The interesting thing is that Scarborough (is that who the guy was? I don’t even know) effectively banned Trump simply because he wanted to be heard; what’s Scarborough gonna do when there are mobs of Muslims wanting to do honor killings in every city in America, and the cops can’t do a dang thing because they are afraid not only of Muslim violence/retaliation but afraid of losing their jobs to political correctness? This guy hasn’t even BEGUN to consider what America is facing, or to see what’s really happening in Europe and why.
How did the segment after this go? What was convincing to Mika?
You can watch the discussion after the interview here. Basically they were attributing the success of Trump as being the strategy that has worked before for Trump (citing previous controversies).
There were a couple of others on the panel that said, he may survive this, but in the end, he will be affected by the controversies.
