Trump: Muslim ban ‘just a suggestion’

Donald Trump appeared to subtly soften his tone on his proposed ban on foreign Muslims entering the United States Wednesday, in apparent response to criticism from the newly elected Muslim mayor of London.

They are meant to reel in voters, but I doubt Trump has any intention of carrying them out.

    “Just a suggestion” is a “slight modification”? I guess it’s too early to tear stump apart for his complete lying, so rather than rip the blindfolds off their eyes, the MSM tells the cultists it’s just a “slight modification. ” And they swallow it whole. stump lowers America’s aggregate mean IQ by about 10 points.

    How would Trump communicate with congress and the people?… via a suggestion box. Then congress can form a four year suggestion viability investigative committee, on and on it goes.
