Trump’s words dangerous

Sat., Dec. 26, 2015

So Donald Trump wants to temporarily stop certain groups of Muslims from entering the United States. He has just given ISIS more ammunition for their recruitment efforts. It was bad enough when he said he saw Muslims in New Jersey celebrating after 9/11. Funny how no one else saw it (except for Mr. Carson.) Trump either doesn’t care, or, I’ll use his favorite word, is too “stupid” to realize words have consequences. His words spread hate and fear. No wonder neo-Nazis have endorsed him. Who’s next? The KKK? Wonder what those two groups think about his two foreign-born wives.
