Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Monday night defended his latest controversial proposal to bar Muslims from entering the United States, drawing cheers at a rally when he said, “We have no idea if they love us or hate us.” “We’re out of control; we have no idea who is coming into our country,” Trump said at the rally in South Carolina. “I want ISIS to surrender.”
Trump said he watched President Obama’s address to the nation Sunday night and said the president appeared “he didn’t know why he was there. He refuses to use the term ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ He refuses to use the term. I don’t even know if he knows what the hell is going on.” In a statement released earlier Monday, Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States until “our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”
Reading from the statement Monday night at a rally aboard the USS Yorktown in South Carolina, Trump said, “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.”
