Trump is a businessman
Reader comment on item: What's Trump's Policy on Visas for Muslims?
Submitted by Alana Ronald (Canada), Aug 17, 2016 at 03:29
Trump is pragmatic. He knows how to deal. So he must remain flexible. That's why I discount all the haters who exaggerate, spin, twist, and distort his words. He has some good advisors,& he he'll do a lot to weed out the bad actors.
Unlike Hillary, he has not succumbed to foreign influence peddlers, blatant lies, and probably much worse. Wikileaks: we need more.

Daniel Pipes replies:
Trump not only lies but he does so under oath. As for foreign influence, how can you assert this without seeing his tax returns?
