After pointing out that a majority of the Syrian refugees were, in fact, women and children, Stephanopoulos wondered if Trump would bring back waterboarding, which was banned by President Barack Obama.
“We have to be strong,” the candidate insisted. “You know, they don’t use waterboarding over there, they use chopping off people’s heads, they use drowning people.”
“I would bring it back, I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they do to us,” he opined. “I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation.”
Earlier in the exchange you can her Stephanopoulos pointedly asking Trump about the Muslim database, which he had walked back earlier, and he reiterates that he "definitely wants a database and other checks and balances."
So not only would Trump be willing to single out all Muslims and force them into a database, but he also likes the idea of perhaps doing a little waterboarding if there is any suspicion of terrorist proclivities.
Gee, you would think he had a side job as a recruiter for Daesh.
Most recent polls have Trump leading the rest of the pack by ten points or more.
Donald Trump doubles down on Muslim database and suggests bringing back waterboarding.
