Muslims' have the US electorates feelings running high, that's why he's using it from scripted notes. It's as fake as that sun tan.

Or Bill Clinton put him up to it so as to improve Hilary's chances?

Is he trying to say that 'Muslims' in the US are immigrants and that they are all Terrorists? He's an absolute nutter.

Our son-in-law when they lived in the States attended a conference in Austin, Texas, probably about 5 years ago. At the registration desk one Texan woman was kicking off because it had been declared a non-gun zone. She was not a happy bunny.

He'd had a gun pulled on him at a traffic-violation stop, all because he'd reached over to his glove-box to get the vehicle papers. Naturally, he Froze! It was all sorted out with a bit if friendly advise. It can be an advantage to have an English accent.

The trouble with democracy is that it gives a platform for free speech however obnoxious. Shouting it down is not the way to go 'cos people such as Trump feed off that.

Despite the US being a melting pot of peoples it is amazingly insular in its attitudes to the outside world which can be sumnmed up as FUD - fear, uncertainty and doubt. Populists everywhere take advantage - UKIP in the UK, le Pen in France, Trump.

At the end of the day will Trump's mouth and wealth buy him the White House? Given that it is impossible to win a modern US election without the Hispanic and black vote it seems unlikely.

Trump has probably put the cause of golf back by years :-)

the man is a dangerous pillock

Actually I don't see how it is possible to ban any religious group from entering a counry. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that one's religion is asked about at the border. It's not listed on a passport. Surely if asked "Are you a Muslim?" one just has to say "No". A little different, of course, for a woman if she's wearing a hijab or niqab.

Mr Trump sounds off a lot about "immigrants" - what is his own background ?

His mother was an immigrant from Scotland,

His Trump grandparents were immigrants from Germany.

We went on holiday with my sil and husband in 1990 to Orlando and sil lost her bun bag with all her cash and credit cards in it all the police had guns when they came around

Interesting points made

As for immigrants, isn't everyone an immigrant in the US, except for native Americans......you know, those indigenous people who taught the immigrants how to survive, in 'their' country

Donald has LOVELY hair though, doesn't he?

Trump's policy would ban American-born Muslims from returning to the US if they have left on business or holiday ..... and some of those would be 3rd or 4th generation Americans!


There's a campaign going on here .........

........ Vancouver and Toronto each have a Trump Hotel and Suites. City councils and others in both cities are calling for the name to be removed :-)

Does his company own the buildings? If so, the Canadian authorites would have little influence in a name change.

I dont know why everyone is in a tizz,his dream will never happen,even if by a wave of a wand he got in the big house.

The mans a delusional fool !! to think he and he alone on his say so could bring this hit list about.

We are in a tizz because he has people supporting his crackpot ideas.....and others who have crawled out from under their rocks screaming for more concealed weapon permits .....aaaaargh!

I don't know Kay he has the money to do anything he wants if he can scare enough people into voting for him.

People don't think ahead, after his term is up then what??? There will be a 10 foot wall about the usa and no immigrants Hmmmm I wonder who will be there. Not many, they are all going to turn to terrorism trying to get him out of office, which of course will get them kicked out of the country. :-S

DET ......

his company does not own the buildings. The one in Vancouver is being developed by a Chinese-owned development company.

It seems that he now "sells" his name for use for the tower and hotel ............ ie, licenses his name.

Neither he nor his company will seemingly be involved in the running of either the hotel nor the apartment section of the tower

BUT it is believed that there is a "cachet" to having something that has his "brand" on it, because of the Trump Tower in NY, etc ....... ie, luxury.

This is the statement that was made in the prospectus issued in 2013 .....

“Trump International Hotel & Tower® Vancouver is not owned, developed or sold by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their principals or affiliates. West Georgia Holdings Inc. and West Georgia Development Limited Partnership are the owners and developers of the property, and use the “Trump” name and mark under license from DT Marks Vancouver LP, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.”


The 3 penthouses will sell for at least $20 million (or ca £9 mill)


The city council does not have many rights when it comes to naming privately developed buildings, that is up to the developers or owners. But it can express its discomfort.

And it starts at a young age in schools, Dermot.

Perhaps someone should buy him a Syrup to replace the bunny he has on his head.wieghing about Two Tons,that should keep him quiet and give him food for thought. :-D :-D
