Trump "looking at" replacing TSA guards who wear "hibby jobbies" with Veterans

Visiting New Hampshire to again bash free-trade deals as job killers, Donald Trump conducted a brief town hall Thursday in which he defended Israel and said he would look into a woman's suggestion that airport security screeners be replaced with veterans.

The woman protested Transportation Security Administration guards who wear "hibby jobbies" at airports — an apparent reference to Muslims — as she asked the Republican presidential candidate to have veterans do TSA jobs.

"We're looking at that," Trump said during the appearance in Manchester, N.H. "We're looking at a lot of things."

Trump has vowed to tighten the nation's borders, in part to stop "radical Islamic extremists" from entering.

and they are the worst and constantly decide to make people late for flights in Seattle, they couldn't get any worse. The last two times I flew out of SEATAC, it took over ninety minutes to get through security.

Does he mean the "we" as in voices in his head? Just seems like a constant speech pattern with the Human Yam...

Last statistic I saw showed up to 40% of TSA's workers are former, active duty, reserve, or retired military. Of course it's easier for Trump and everyone else with an axe to grind to ignore things that don't fit their narrative.

'to again bash free-trade deals as job killers'

Is this the lock-step accepted opinion of DU on this topic? Trump may be a bit too crazy to be Prez, but that doesn't mean everything he is in favor of is wrong.

When I see all the forbidden topics on this board I could have sworn the trans Pacific Partnership was one of them.
