Trump: Rudy & I win war
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is thinking about creating a terrorism commission — and floated the name of Rudy Giuliani as a possible chairman.
“I’m thinking about setting up a commission, perhaps headed by Rudy Giuliani, to take a very serious look at this problem,”, he said Wednesday on “Fox x and Friends.”
Trump men- tioned Giuliani and d the potential com- mission if he wins the White House while slamming Pres- ident Obama for his s handling of terror- ism.
“Now, if you u don’t want to discuss the problem, then we’re never gonna solve the problem,” Trump said. “It’s a real — it’s a real problem, not only here but throughout the world,” the former reality TV star said, then criticized Obama’s refusal to say “radical Islamic terrorism.”
Former mayor and GOP presidential candidate Giuliani has been a staunch Trump backer, endorsing him before last month’s NewYork Republican primary. Giuliani declined comment. Trump also said his proposed ban on Muslims would only be temporary and would not prohibit London’s new mayor, Sadiq Khan, a Muslim, from entering the country.
But Trump’s national spokeswoman said the new proposals would still make it harder for Musli lims to get into the U.S. “Well, a again, it all depends on if we k know their intentions,” Katrin naPiersonsaidon CNN.
She said if the U.S. “knows who they are, knows where th they’re coming from, if they h have documents, then yes, those are individuals t that could come to this country.”
Khan called Trump’s views “ignorant.”
“It is possib ble to be a Muslim and to live in the West. It is possible to be a Muslim and to love America,” he said on CNN. “By giving the impression that Islam and the West are incompatible, you are playing into the hands of the extremists.”
