How can we unring the bell that Donald Trump set swinging?
Let’s call it the un-liberty bell. Let’s brand it, as he does.
Trump towers, Trump sours. When it comes to politics, anything Trump says and does is a liability. Because essentially everything he says and does is some form of a lie.
The U.S. News and World Report noted last month that in September Trump said: “I love the Muslims, I think they’re great people.” Asked if he would appoint a Muslim to his cabinet, he answered, “Oh, absolutely, no problem with that.”
Three months later his campaign’s Dec. 7 news release stated: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” And he called for surveillance against mosques and the possible creation of a national database of Muslims in the U.S.
