From an interview with John Dickerson on Face the Nation:
After Dickerson played a portion of the al-Shabab video that showed Trump saying, "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of Muslims entering the united states until our country's representative can figure out what the f*** is going on," he summarized the video's pitch to Muslims in the U.S.
"And then the video goes on and says the West will eventually turn against its Muslim citizens," Dickerson said. "It's saying to Muslims, 'You either join jihad or you leave the United States because of what Mr. Trump is proposing.'"
"Look, there's a problem," Trump responded. "I bring it up. Other people have called me and say, 'You have guts to bring it up because frankly, it's true but nobody wants to get involved. Now people are getting involved.
"People that are on different persuasions than me right now John are saying, you know maybe Trump isn't wrong. We want to examine it."
Dickerson then asked, "Does it concern you at all that you're being used in essentially a recruitment video by a terrorist organization?"
"They use other people, too," Trump said. "What am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say. And you [know] what I have to say? There's a problem. We have to find out what is a problem. And we have to solve that problem."
So essentially what Trump is saying is that he has no impulse control and will say whatever occurs to him, EVEN if it is detrimental to our nation or benefits the terrorists.
Can't say that surprises me in the least.
By the way for those who keep asking to see this video, as if this is all made up to attack Trump, here you go.
Donald Trump responds to being used in a recruitment video for terrorists: "What am I going to do? I have to say what I have to say."
