Trump did say, "I hate it. I hate the concept of it, but we're dealing with some very, very bad dudes," he said.

In time of war, we have curbed the Bill of Rights many times including Lincoln suspending the writ of habeas corpus.

Before I board an aircraft, are my rights being violated by the TSA screening? Before I can buy a gun from a dealer, I must have a government background check. Is that a violation of my rights?

Accurate transcription. And you are correct of course that suspending the Bill has precedent. Question is, what does that look like in 2017?
