'I have at least 20 Muslim friends', says Donald Trump, but can't name them

..... The Republican presidential candidate has repeatedly said that "Muslims love him" despite his provocative policies, but has so far failed to name any single individual Muslim supporter.

Asked by the Telegraph to elaborate, Mr Trump again ducked the question responding: "Oh, I could give you about 20 of them."...

Donald Trump Junior, Mr Trump's son, was also unable to tell the Telegraph who his father's Muslim friends were, saying only that they had "completed a lot of business deals" in the Middle East.

I could believe he has business associates that are Muslim. I’d have a hard time believing he has a Muslim over to the house. And frankly, with all the things I think are wrong with Trump and make him the wrong man to be president of the USA, this is the least important.

I am a very unsociable person-— and even I have a few Muslim friends... I can pretty much guarantee Trump could list 20 Muslim people he knows, if he wanted too...

[kiryandil]

Because you posted it.

LOL!

THAT'S gonna leave a mark...

[freespirit2012]

Why would you think he wouldn’t have a Muslim over to his house?

Crikes I don’t care if the guy has muslin friends or not. He probably has muslin associates from business.

[freespirit2012]

That would be like saying that you doubt he has ever had a Hindu over to his house-—

I don’t work for anyone - never have.

But I’ve found that those who accuse - smear others to discredit their work - are themselves, in fact, the ones engaged in that activity.

[nickcarraway]

I wish he had 20 Christian friends.

Being unable to name twenty Muslim friends is not likely to be seen as a liability IMO.

I think CW is really Debbie Wasserman or a DU infiltrator. We never hear who she supports. Probably The Beast.

Their names are Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed and Muhammed. More questions?

Trump is going to do more of this, IF/WHEN the debate audience is "STACKED" again. He's FEARLESS and fed up; as he should be.

Unlike the Cruz supporters, we use facts and thought and reason. They make claims about us that are just full on projection complex babblings.

They are fully removed from reality; however, very soon, reality is going to start to hit them full force in their collective faces.

[RC one]

I have about a dozen Muslim friends/associates and I wouldn’t name any of them on a national stage either.

[nopardons]

Well, she WAS a Perryite, then all in for Walker.

For some irrational reason, she has passionately HATED and REVILED Trump from the start. That is her choices; however, the constant spamming of these propaganda threads is both puerile and senseless.

[Organic Panic]

He could have faked an answer easy enough. All 20 are named Muhammed

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Why don’t you rebut it, and stop slinging feces?

[nopardons]

Nobody with any brains, especially one who is the mix ( there used to be THREE ), who aren’t even eligible to BE prdesident, nor VEEP!
