As you’ve probably seen, heard or read, Donald Trump’s recent snub to President Obama doesn’t look good. Supporters are deflecting it. And Anderson Cooper is apologizing? Why?
Donald Trump is a business man with no political experience, as reports BBC News. How far-fetched is that statement? Not far-fetched at all, right? He’s known for his arrogance and straight-forwardness. There’s really no filter. And that seems to be his advantage as well as disadvantage.
In recent Donald Trump news, during his rally in New Hampshire, he wasn’t exactly unaccepting of an “Obama basher”‘s comments. He even mentioned that he liked the guy. According to BBC News, the man stated as follows.
“We have a problem in this country called Muslims. We know 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?”
Instead of refuting the hate-charged statements from the questioner, he laughed and commented along. Trump debated that “bad things” are transpiring and that he’s looking into fixing them.
However, that didn’t set too well with other parties, as well as some of the other Republican runners. What kind of foresight does that offer from the candidate Donald Trump? If he openly laughs at “hateful rhetoric”, as reports BBC News, what could be expected when hate-crime laws and rulings need to be upheld in their legitimacy and standards? Will they be reformed or overlooked…vetoed…ignored?
As can be seen in the interview with Anderson Cooper, Donald Trump supporter Andy Dean — former president of Trump Productions — stated that Cooper’s interpretation of Donald’s speech was inaccurate. Although Anderson and Andy went back and forth, as reports The Blaze, Dean stated as follows.
“That’s not accurate at all. It’s not accurate that he said we’re going to be looking at Muslims like you just said. He said, ‘we’re going to be looking at that’ — potential training camps. You may laugh it off, but there are potential reports of Muslim radicals. Once again, not Muslims, but Muslim radicals.”
Andy claimed that the guy was a “lunatic” and that’s why Trump laughed it off. But was it Muslim radicals being addressed or just Muslims, period? This is where Anderson Cooper became “rude.” The reporter felt offended and began questioning the supporter’s experience among Muslims. If you know Anderson, you know he’s spent an extensive amount of time in Middle-Eastern culture and knows the difference between Muslims and Muslim extremists.
After a few moments, Donald Trump’s supporter bowed out, due to Cooper’s interruptions. Post-break, Anderson came back on-air and apologized for his “rudeness.” He also sent a message, worldwide, via Twitter.
Although Anderson did the professional thing and admitted he wasn’t himself in that moment, the “Muslim” issue is similar to the issue with illegal immigrants. There are bad ones and good ones, just as there are bad and good American citizens. Yet, “all of them are the problem,” as Trump has mentioned in many speeches?
According to the Migration Policy Institute, 29 percent of the approximated 11 million illegal immigrants don’t come from Mexico or Central America. Is Donald talking about those immigrants as well? Or just the politically-incorrect phrase use, “Mexicans”?
As reports the institute, 14 percent of illegal immigrants come from Asia. The other 15 percent come from Caribbean, South American, African and European countries. The other 71 percent comprise from Hispanic nations. However, as studies show, it’s mostly the second-generation immigrants that are exhibiting criminal traits, as they adjust to American standards. As can be seen in the Pew Research infograph via Washington Post, second-generation crimes are still not as high as American crimes. Yet, they all should be deported?
Trump’s immigration plan would cost $12,500 per individual deportation, as reports MSNBC. Call it “deportation tax.”
With approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, it’s around $137.5 billion. Interestingly enough, polls actually show contrary to Donald’s idea. And much of the Republican party has different thoughts about the concept than its frontrunner.
What do you think of Donald Trump as a potential president? Are his appeals mostly emotional, rather than being backed by solid information? What if he were to treat this country’s policies like some form of The Apprentice? Do you think Anderson Cooper should’ve apologized? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, below.
