Donald Trump asked about President Obama being a "Muslim"


Today, Friday, September 18th, 2015, AMERICAblog posted an article titled “This was the moment Donald Trump finally realized he isn’t going to be President” by Jon Green.  The reason I am recommending you read this is because of the amount of people (including Donald Trump) who believe the recent President Barack Obama is not an American. Trump attended a debate Wednesday night (9/16/2015) in New Hampshire where he was promised to give a speech but ended up answering questions from the audience. Trump picked someone at random, their question was, “We have a problem in this country, and it’s called Muslims. Our current President is one. YOU know he’s not even an American…. We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?” Trump response to the man was, ““A lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re going to be looking at that and a lot of different things.” Instead of correcting the man about our current President, Trump pretty much said he knows exactly what the man means and he is working on many things including deporting or jailing every American Muslim. Back in 2011, Trump was being interviewed, in that interview he kept bringing up the issue of Obama’s birth certificate. Many people do believe his religion is Muslim, and that he is not born in America, but coming from my prospective I do believe he was born with in the states (Honolulu, HI) as Obama claims is his birthplace. Trump has attended many debates; within those debates all I ever hear him talk about is the problems we have on the muslim community and immigration. I believe there are more problems we need to focus on besides these two situations. My notion of immigration and religion helps the US have a more diverse nation.
