Trump Says He 'Would Certainly Implement' Muslim Database

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: NBC News

NEWTON, Iowa — Donald Trump "would certainly implement" a database system tracking Muslims in the United States, the Republican front-runner told NBC News on Thursday night.

"I would certainly implement that. Absolutely," Trump said in Newton, Iowa, in between campaign town halls.

"There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases," he added. "We should have a lot of systems."
When asked whether Muslims are legally obligated to sign into the database, Trump responded, "They have to be — they have to be."

He also refused to explain how this was different from the Nazis requiring Jewish people to register. His only answer: "You tell me."

This goes farther than previous reports, which said that he was refusing to rule out such an action.

Next thing we'll know he'll be saying we should put them into camps.

Trump steaks, if you will. No taste, but loaded with heart-clogging hatred.

Not a moment too soon, either. The base was starting to wonder if Trump was fascist enough.

it's called the list of recall petition signers. It's already near impossible to get a new state job if your name is on that list (mine is).

12. No, it's not a dupe. This story was 10 minutes old when I posted it and there is a key difference.

As I explained in the OP.

Till now he was saying he was "open to considering" a database. In other stories, he "refused to rule it out."

Now he's gone a major step further. He's saying he will "certainly" and "absolutely" implement one.

sewn to the outside of the left sleeves, mandatory, worn at all times. And envisioning this my stomach turns.

I saw in Trumps face that he realized that this was a monumental mistake - and his "you tell me" in my opinion was a stalling mechanism until he could think through and get help to figure a way to get out of this mistake and save face and clean it up yet retain the idea.
He has a horribly sick mind to politicize and posture and self-aggrandizingly pander to the lowest impulses of the mentally unwashed.
