Trump responds to Brussels attack by insulting the ‘city’ of Belgium — and calling for torture [View all]



Donald Trump wasted no time launching off the terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday morning to advocate for waterboarding, a method of torture that simulates drowning.

Speaking on the TODAY Show, Trump, the GOP front-runner, spoke to the hosts by phone about the suicide bombings on the Belgian capitol that left dozens dead and hundreds injured.


Trump was asked what he would do to get information out of Salah Abdeslam, the chief suspect in the terror attacks on Paris last year. He was captured by Belgian police earlier this week.

“Frankly, waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we change the laws or have the laws, waterboarding would be fine,” Trump said. “We work within laws. They don’t work within laws. They have no laws. The waterboarding would be fine and if they could expand the laws I would do a lot more than waterboarding.”
