Donald Trump on London’s Muslim Mayor – “I don’t care about him”

He’s not even in the White House or in any position to make a single foreign policy change, yet, Donald Trump is already showing one of America’s allys that he doesn’t care about them or their leaders.

After London elected its first Muslim mayor, Trump and the new mayor, Sadiq Khan, have gone back and forth hauling insults at each other.

“When he won, I wished him well,” he said of Sadiq Khan on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain.” “Now I don’t care about him.”

“Let’s see if he’s a good man,” the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee added. “It doesn’t make any difference to me how he does.”

London elected Khan on May 6, making the son of Pakistani immigrants the first Muslim mayor of a major Western capital.

Khan has since repeatedly criticized Trump’s remarks on Islam, arguing that the billionaire has “an ignorant” view of the religion and does not deserve to win the White House.

“I’m hoping that he’s not the guy who wins,” the Labor Party member said on May 11. “My message to Donald Trump and his team is that your views of Islam are ignorant.”

SNL – Donald Trump Considers George Zimmerman for Vice President – Video

The Saturday Night Live video below shows Donald Trump and Chris Christie going through the rigorous process of choosing a running-mate. And fittingly, in accordance with all his other nonsensical “policies,” Donald Trump suggested George Zimmerman – the Florida man who followed a black, unarmed teenager, picked a fight with that teenager then murdered the teen – for his running mate.

“How about a guy from a swing state, Florida,” Christie suggested. “He’s half-Hispanic, with a proven record for standing up for himself.”

“George Zimmerman,” Trump blurted out.

“No!” Christie immediately replied. “No no no no no no. Marco Rubio.”

“Oh, little Marco,” Trump said. “I can’t ask him to be V.P. until his parents sign the release form.”

Hillary Clinton’s Ad – What is Donald Trump Hiding in his Taxes – Video

Donald Trump is obviously hiding something. He has made several statements about when he would release his taxes and has backtracked on all those statements. So if you’re a sensible American who watched all the recent presidential candidates released their taxes, then you naturally wonder… what’s the hold up? Why isn’t Trump releasing his?

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is asking that very question and has produced the video below detailing much of Trump’s previous timelines about when he would release his taxes. Those self-imposed timelines have long come and gone. We’re still waiting…

Mayor of Paris – “Mr. Trump is so stupid, my God!”

Donald Trump is not even president, but world leaders are watching the Republican joker and the process we call the 2016 Presidential election led by said joker, Donald Trump. And world leaders are apparently not fans of the donald.

“Mr. Trump is so stupid, my God,” Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, standing next to new London Mayor Sadiq Khan, said this week when asked about Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Khan, London’s first Muslim mayor, has been criticizing Trump for days over the New York billionaire’s idea, saying it would prevent him from visiting the U.S.

Trump indicated Monday he could provide an exception for the mayor, which Khan dismissed, saying it’s not “just about me” and blasting Trump for having “ignorant” views of Islam.

Trump announced his plan for the temporary ban in December amid increased fears of terrorism, though has stood by his proposal in recent days since becoming the GOP’s presumptive nominee.

George Clooney – “there is not gonna be a President Donald Trump”

The actor shared his feelings on the possibility of a president Trump on Thursday, and he slammed the door on that possibility, saying that Americans have never been afraid of anything and Trump’s Scare Tactics will not be enough to scare people to the polls to vote for him.

“Let’s start much simpler — there is not gonna be a President Donald Trump,” Clooney replied, according to Deadline. “Fear is not something that drives out country. We’re not going to be scared of Muslims or immigrants or women. We’re not actually afraid of anything, so we are not going to use fear. It’s not going to be an issue.”

George Clooney and his wife, international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, have been major supporters of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton and hosted a fundraiser for the former secretary of State this year at their Hollywood home.
On Thursday, Clooney blamed the media for boosting Trump’s visibility, arguing that journalists are giving the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee an easy ride.

“Trump is actually a result in many ways of the fact that much of the news programs didn’t follow up and ask tough questions,” he said. “That’s the truth. It’s really easy because your numbers go up.

“The ratings go up because all these guys can show an empty podium and just say that Donald Trump is about to speak as opposed to taking those 30 seconds to talk about refugees … all those corporations would fall on their knees if we did actually inform a little bit.”

Trump Shows Video of Hillary Clinton Laughing as Benghazi Burns – Video

Truth is not a necessary or required component of Donald Trump’s brand of politics.

In a video released on his Instagram account, the businessman turned professional politician and leader of the Republican party pushes the envelope even further, showing a laughing Hillary Clinton superimposed on another video of a burning Benghazi. Also featured in the video are three family members of the deceased, also casting blame on Hillary Clinton.

Republicans have longed blamed then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, for the Benghazi tragedy. And they all conveniently forgot their role in this tragedy when they refused allocate funds for embassy protections. Donald Trump, being he master politician that he is, has once again managed to ignore the real issues facing Americans. Again he has grabbed our attention with a shiny Republican talking point called BENGHAZI!

And the main stream “news” media soaks it all up!

Ted Cruz Announces a Possible Re-entry into Presidential Race

Pure Insanity!

Remember the days when presidential hopefuls would bow their heads and exit the stage after finally accepting the fact that the American people did not want them as president?

Today’s Republicans refuse to take no for an answer as Ted Cruz explains a possible reentry into the 2016 presidential race.

Pressed by supporter Glenn Beck in an interview if he could consider jumping back into the 2016 race if he wins Tuesday’s nomination contest in Nebraska, Cruz said, “My assumption is that that will not happen.”

But, he added, “The reason we suspended the race last week was that with Indiana’s loss I didn’t see a viable path to victory. If that changes we will certainly respond accordingly.”

Asked if he believes he can support Trump, Cruz said voters should not rush to make a decision.

“This is a choice every voter is going to have to make and I would note it’s not a choice we as the voters have to make today,” he said.

Confirmed: Pregnant Connecticut Teen has Zika Virus

A pregnant Connecticut teen has tested positive for Zika, a mosquito-borne virus linked to devastating birth defects, the Daily News reports.

Sara Mujica, who visited her fiancé in Honduras in March, said she thought her symptoms — rashes, headaches and neck aches — were related to fish she had eaten. But test results last week showed the 17-year-old had Zika, which has become an epidemic in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“I was in a state of shock honestly,” Mujica said. “I didn’t really know what to say. I didn’t know what to do. I just started getting teary eyed and almost crying. I was just trying to stay strong.”

Mujica said she learned she was pregnant while she was on the March trip to Honduras.

Around the time she took the pregnancy test, she started feeling ill. When she returned to Danbury, she decided to get tested for Zika. An outbreak of the virus has struck countries from Mexico to Paraguay — including Honduras — in recent months.

Zika can cause microcephaly, a severe birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and brain damage. Researchers don’t yet know the rate at which infected women have babies with birth defects.

London’s Mayor – Donald Trump is “Ignorant” About Islam

On Monday, Donald Trump made an exception to his “ban all Muslims” from entering the United States policy. The exception to Donald’s rule is the newly elected Muslim mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.

But after Khan criticized Donald for not having a basic understanding of Islam, we should all expect Donald to call Khan a name or two, revoke the exception that would have allowed Khan to visit the United States and reinforce his “ban all Muslims” policy.

It’s what any sensible 3rd grader would do.

“This isn’t just about me,” Sadiq Khan said Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. “It’s about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world.

“Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe — it risks alienating mainstream Muslims and plays into the hands of extremists,” he added.
London elected Khan on Friday, making him the first Muslim mayor of a major Western capital.

Khan, a Labour Party member and former human rights lawyer, is the son of Pakistani immigrants.

Donald Trump Backtracks on his “Ban All Muslims” Policy

Like much of his other statements, Republicans are beginning to realize that Donald Trump’s words carry absolutely no weight. His most recent backtrack comes after London elected its first Muslim mayor last week, and that new mayor voiced his concerns that he might not being able to visit the United States under a Trump presidency.

“If Donald Trump becomes the president, I’ll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can’t engage with American mayors and swap ideas,” London’s mayor Sadiq Khan said.

Naturally, this concern from one of America’s main ally is forcing Donald Trump to punch a few holes in his “ban all Muslims” policy.

“There will always be exceptions,” Mr. Trump said when asked in an interview on Monday how his proposed ban would affect London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan.

“I was happy to see that,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Khan’s election. “I think it’s a very good thing, and I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good.”

Asked why, Mr. Trump said, “Because I think if he does a great job, it will really — you lead by example, always lead by example. If he does a good job and frankly if he does a great job, that would be a terrific thing.”

London’s Muslim Mayor – Trump will Stop Me from Visiting America

Although Donald Trump’s “ban all Muslims” policy has not gone over well with sensible Americans, much of the Republican Party – even some in Congress – have endorsed and signed on to his nonsense. And now the first Muslim mayor of London and one of America’s biggest ally is speaking out.

“I want to go to America to meet with and engage with American mayors,” Sadiq Khan, London’s new mayor told Time magazine in an interview conducted after he won the mayoral race over the weekend.

“If Donald Trump becomes the president, I’ll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can’t engage with American mayors and swap ideas,” he added.

Khan, whose opponents sought to characterize him as a radical, accused his rivals of taking a page “straight out of the Donald Trump playbook.”

“Conservative tacticians thought those sort of tactics would win London and they were wrong. I’m confident that Donald Trump’s approach to politics won’t win in America,” he told Time.
