Not sure Trump's proposal is any better or worse than someone like Lindsey Graham who wants to carpet bomb Syria and actually kill thousands upon thousands of people who are no threat to the USA whatsoever. Yet Graham has not received anythiing like the kind of public and media backlash. Yet his proposal is infinitely more barbaric.
I think Trump is a populist douche who is appealing to some of the worst segments and sentiments of society, but the level of criticism coming from some quarters smacks of hypocrisy. Somehow because discriminating against people based on religion is unconstitutional it makes it worse than bombing people because that is allowed in the constitution. In both cases innocent people are caught up in a conflict not of their making, only on the one hand their travel is restricted, on the other hand they're dead, or family members are dead, or they are missing body parts. In neither situation are the American people made any safer.
In my mind Trump was never qualified to be president, this latest rant from him merely confirms his lack of qualification to be the one who holds the keys to the nukes.
