Donald Trump Just Isn’t Sure If He Wants To ‘Get Rid’ Of All The Blacks Or Not

On Sunday, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump defended his refusal to correct one of his bigoted fans’ assertion that not only is the President a Muslim who isn’t an American, but that we need to “get rid” of every single Muslim. But it’s OK — the billionaire isn’t quite sure what he would say if someone wanted to deport black people, either.

“You are running to be the president of the United States of America,” CNN’s Jake Tapper told Trump. “This man said — quote — ‘We have a problem in this country and it’s called Muslims.’ You are not responsible for what he says, but this is raw unvarnished ignorant bigotry.”

Trump complained that people expected him to do the “politically correct” thing (most of us call it the “right thing”) by correcting his obviously bigoted follower, arguing that there really is a Muslim problem.

“Are you trying to say we don’t have a problem?” Trump asked Tapper. “I have friends that are Muslims, they are great people, they are amazing people. And most Muslims, like most everything, they are fabulous people, but we certainly do have a problem. I mean, you have a problem throughout the world.”
