    OK, I'll buy that, though to be fair, he wasn't specifying white-owned, so much as not foreign/Muslim.

    Yeah, he didn't point a finger at blacks, which is something, I guess. Although we all know a lot of them are Mooslims, too. One even infiltrated the White House.

    I'm just curious how he ever gets any work done.

    I love this. The media is so predictable, and so responsive to anything Trunp says.

    Not only are Muslim-Americans wonderful, peaceful people -- they're better than us!

    That's right. Among other things, CNN tells us that:

    They have more gender equality

    The shocking truth about Muslims in America - CNN.com

    Yep. Muslim-American women are not treated like second class citizens. They go to school, and get advanced degrees. And, a full 90% of Muslim-Americans agree that women should be able to work outside the home.

    (I love the link the CNN reporter used to back up the 90% number. In it, we learn among other things that among Muslim-Americans, "Fully 81% say that suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilians are never justified."

    Well, that's comforting.)

    Yep. All of 'em. Fully 81%.

    And that's spun as a good thing!

    But don't worry, that doesn't mean 19% of Muslim-Americans support suicide bombings:

    As in 2007, very few Muslim Americans – just 1% – say that suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets are often justified to defend Islam from its enemies; an additional 7% say suicide bombings are sometimes justified in these circumstances.

    So, only 8% of the 3 million Muslim-Americans sometimes support suicide bombings. That's not a lot, is it?

    Willie Geist asking Trump this morning, "how would you do it? Would you ask people their religion at the airport?"

    LOL.

    This is great too. Twitter is aghast that Trump refused to answer Mark Halpern's question bout whether FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans violated out values.

    He said he wouldn't answer it because his pan was nothing like that.

    Did I miss something. Is FDR no longer held in high esteem by the Democratic Party and the liberal media? When's the last time a Dem politician was called on to denounce FDR?

    Should we rename government buildings, schools, etc., that are named for Roosevelt? We should really nail people down on this.

    Trump has obviously been over the top. Thankfully the media has been sober in their response:
