Proposed ban on Muslims entering the US was just a suggestion- Donald Trump
We have
a serious problem, and it's a temporary ban -- it hasn't been called for yet,
nobody's done it, this is just a suggestion until we find out what's going
on," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told Fox News Radio's
Brian Kilmeade.
Trump first introduced
the proposed ban back in December and he explicitly and authoritatively said in
both a speech and in a press statement: "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."
So his sudden change of
stance calling his 'statements' a 'suggestion' is seen by some US political
analysts as a plot to get on the 'emotional' aspects of voters as it's almost
certain he will compete against the much more gentle and less volatile Hilary
Clinton.
Trump also emphasized
that the proposed ban was 'temporary in nature' when asked if he will back down
on his statements.
"No, it was never
meant to be -- I mean that's why it was temporary," he said, when asked if
he would consider backing off the controversial ban.
"Sure I'd back off
on it. I'd like to back off on it as soon as possible, because frankly, I'd
like to see something happen. But we have to be vigilant," he said to Fox
News' Greta Van Susteren..
"There is a
radical Islamic terrorism problem that our president doesn't even want to talk
about."
