You Decide: Did Trump Really Say He Wants A Muslim Database?

Some are saying that if you read the full text from NBC’s video claiming Donald Trump advocates a Muslim database, you’ll see it paints a much different picture than what the network and Trump distractors are asserting.

What do you think? Comment below. Reporter: “Should there be a database system that tracks Muslims who are in this country?”

Trump: “There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems, and today you can do it. But right now we need to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen any longer.”

Reporter: “Is that something your White House would like to implement?”

Donald Trump: “I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.”

Reporter: “What do you think the effect of that would be? How would that work?”

Trump: “It would stop people from coming in illegally. We have to stop people from coming into our country illegally.”
After Trump talked about immigration, the reporter pushed back:

Reporter: “For Muslims specifically, how do you actually get them registered?”

Trump: “It would be just good management. What you have to do is good management procedures. And we can do that.”

Reporter: “Would you go to mosques to sign people up?”

Trump: “To different places. You sign them up at different — but it’s all about management. Our country has no management.”

Reporter: “Would they have to be legally in this database?”

Trump: “They have to be legal. The key is that people can come to the country, but they have to come legally.” h/t ijreview
