Where does Trump Stand.
Reader comment on item: What's Trump's Policy on Visas for Muslims?
Submitted by Steve (United States), Aug 17, 2016 at 14:39
"This sequence points to Trump being able to learn – slowly and erratically, to be sure – from his mistakes. It also indicates that, were he elected president, he would have a mandate to adopt virtually any policies he wishes on the grounds that "everything is a suggestion.""
Here we see the problem many of us have with Donald Trump...and not just Muslim immigration. In the past the man has been on all sides of so many issues.
