Republican presidential contender Donald Trump was plainly in his wheelhouse at his latest rally when supporters made cracks about Hillary Clinton and Muslims supposedly running America.
In September, many contentious Trumpisms ago, he was criticized when he failed to correct a rally-goer who called President Barack Obama a Muslim. On Tuesday night at a rally in New Hampshire, he took a different approach to that matter as he branded the country's leaders dishonest, unintelligent, incompetent "or they have some other agenda that we don't even know about."
"They're Muslims!" shouted a man in the crowd.
"I didn't say it," Trump responded. "Oh, I'm supposed to reprimand the man. Who is the man that said that? I have to reprimand him. How dare you?"
Later he criticized Clinton's campaign schedule.
"She goes to an event and then you don't see her for another week," he complained.
She's "in the bathroom!" someone in the crowd yelled. It was a reference to Clinton returning late to the Democratic debate stage following a bathroom break -- a situation Trump had previously labeled "disgusting."
"That's terrible, terrible. You should never say that," Trump responded.

Trump’s having fun.
“a rally-goer who called President Barack Obama a Muslim.”
Well, isn’t he? When was the last time he attended a Christian church I wonder........besides after the Charleston shootings.
“You should never say that.”
“What? I spoke out against that kind of talk, didn’t I? Why are you so upset with me?” he asks the media.
He should just go ahead and admit he’s a Muslim. The left adores Muslims and gays, so his popularity numbers would skyrocket. Why would he be so secretive that he’s a Muslim.
This was a beautiful thing ~
Yes it was a great rally. Trump like no other can turn it back on the crazed media and everyone loves it.
No one else running seems to be able to do something like this. Humor is a sign of intelligence. He has to do it on his feet, timing is critical, current events and how they relate to his campaign are brought in. Then he is able to zing the whole PC left but not in a guttural way as they often do.
I loved it when Trump was challenged for not repudiating the Iowa man who said Obama is a Muslim. Trump said "I don't have a moral obligation to defend Obama, would he defend me, I don't think so, I don't think so". That's not an exact quote. So he manages to drive another nail in that failed attempt to put him on the spot.
So either Trump memorized a clever response to the next "Obama is a muslim" statement or he did it on the spot. Either is pretty impressive.
This also reminds me of that disgusting McCain campaign where a supporting governor of some state was "repudiated", {how I loathe that word now} by Mccain for daring to use Hussein's middle name!
I love his sense of humor. That’s a great way to deal with political enemies and the press (forgive me for being redundant).
And I’m laughing like woman insane! It’s refreshing to see there is some fun from/to DC on occasion.
We Stump For Trump!
