Trump's Muslim registry: "He didn't say that - but he should have!"

In perhaps the epitome of a Trump news cycle, a reporter asked Trump if he'd be for registering American Muslims. He sort of generally goes along.

Another reporter follows up, and Trump of course doubles down.

But then Trump gets wind that this does not actually look good for him. So he reverses and blames the media.

Freepers, in maximum Nazi-but-for-Muslims mode, love the idea of a registry, but also love blaming the media. So they try to go along with this triple-reverse, and kinda split the difference, and try to paper over the confusion with righteous anger.

Jim Robinson just busts out with off-topic hatred of Muslims:

The simple truth is that all of Islam is at war with us and our ruling class refuses to believe it. Islam is an ideological movement with world conquest as it’s goal. All muslims are brainwashed from birth to hate Jews and Christians and to commit jihad (holy war) against the western world. They will have peace only after all other nations have been conquered and forced to submit to Islam.

Lumper20 knows the Founders wanted America non-Muslim:

It is a damn good idea. None of our founding fathers ever intended for a stinking Muslim to live here. Get out of America Muslim trash.

Sasparilla knows that Trump was talking about something unrelated to the reporter's question!

Trump was talking about the wall and legal entry to the USA,
Not registering Muslims, but registering legal immigrants as they came through the wall legally.

Idiot reporters think they have him with their fqntasy.

SC_Pete knows this was a coordinated conspiracy between everyone in America who isn't Trump or Cruz:

This was an orchestrated SMEAR—coordinated by the media, RATS, and GOPe. The hits were simultaneous and IMMEDIATE. Trump is fighting the evil of the world. God bless hom.

seekthetruth thinks a registry is a great idea:

In my opinion, ALL American Muslims who are really against Islamic Terrorism should be glad to have their names added to a data base. After all, they would have nothing to hide and certainly would not be carrying out any terrorist actions! So why would they fuss about it???

2nd Amendment is also a supporter of the thing Trump didn't say:

I’m a Cruz man, but the more I hear of Trump the better I like him!I think registering members of a known terrorist sect is a good idea!

Objective Scrutator wants MORE than a registry!

The Muslims should be lucky if a database is the worst they’re subjected to. They certainly deserve worse, and they certainly do worse to the non-Muslim societies they enter.

2nd Amendment gives us the thread title:

No, Trump didn’t say it! . . but he should have . .

nikos1121 may be confused, but this is good news for Trump:

This should add at least 5 more points to his lead...

TTFlyer knows with enough hatred, anything makes sense!
