Trump Calls for Profiling Muslims

The rhetoric is now solidly in fascist territory

Donald Trump continues his campaign to exploit every bigoted right wing talking point and hateful meme: Trump: Islamic terrorism will get solved when Obama ‘gets the hell out’.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says the country’s “tremendous problem” with radical Islamic terrorism will get solved once President Barack Obama “gets the hell out” of office.

Trump slammed the president Sunday for not using the term “radical Islamic terrorism” to describe the terror attacks in Paris and this past week’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, hitting on a frequent Republican criticism of the Obama administration’s language used to describe terrorism.

“Until he admits that this is a problem, we’re never gonna solve the problem,” Trump said on CBS’ “Face the Nation. “But he’s only gonna be there, fortunately, a little bit more than a year. Because the problem will get solved when he gets the hell out.”

Trump also said he supported the idea of profiling in order to stop terrorism, arguing that people are being too politically correct with Muslims in the country when they don’t respond to red flags.

“I think there can be profiling,” Trump said. “If they thought there was something wrong with that group and they saw what was happening, and they didn’t want to call the police because they didn’t want to be profiling, I think that’s pretty bad. People are dead. A lot of people are dead right now. So everybody wants to be politically correct, and that’s part of the problem that we have with our country.”

And he did not rule out the idea of tracking Muslims in America.

“You have people that have to be tracked,” he said. “If they’re Muslims, they’re Muslims.”

This is the kind of sickening talk that’s made him the leading presidential candidate of the Republican Party.
