Trump Says Stop Muslims From Entering U.S.A.
The billionaire presidential candidate and former N.J. casino mogul drew new controversy for saying Muslins shouldn't enter the country.
Donald Trump said Monday that the United States should bar all Muslims from entering the country until the nation can “figure out what is going on.”
Trump, a billionaire Republican running for president and a former N.J. casino mogul, issued a statement saying:
“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.”

N.J. Gov. Chris Christie, also a presidential candidate, responded sharply: “This is kind of thing people say when they have no experience & no idea what they’re talking about,” he said, according to WNYC.
Trump drew controversy previously for saying that “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrated the attack on the World Trade Center after the horrific Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy.
