THE WHITE HOUSE has said that property mogul Donald Trump has “disqualified” himself from being US President with his latest comments on Muslims.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest today said that Trump’s plan to bar Muslims from entering the US is disqualifying. He says every Republican presidential candidate should say that they wouldn’t support Trump if he is the GOP nominee.
Earnest described Trump’s campaign as a “carnival-barker routine.”
The White House is deeming Trump’s rhetoric on Muslims as harmful to the United States and its national security. Earnest says it’s “offensive and toxic” and clearly shows Trump lacks the judgment to be president.

He said:
“The Trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin-of-history-like quality to it, from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair. The whole carnival-barker routine that we’ve seen for some time now.
Now, I know that each of the Republican candidates has already taken an oath pledging to support Donald Trump for president of the United States if he wins the nomination. But the fact is, the first thing a president does when he or she takes the oath of office is to swear an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. And the fact is, what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president.

“And any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either.”
Trump yesterday called for a “total and complete” block on Muslims entering the United States, in the wake of last week’s mass shooting in California by a Muslim couple believed to have been radicalised.
London
Trump also took criticism from the Mayor and police force in London as well as British Prime Minister David Cameron.
He had said that parts of London “are so radicalised that the police are afraid for their own lives.”
London’s Mayor Boris Johnson said that this was “complete and utter nonsense”.
“Crime has been falling steadily both in London and in New York — and the only reason I wouldn’t go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump,” Johnson said.
The Met Police broke with protocol to issue a statement, saying Trump “could not be more wrong” about their city and was “welcome to receive a briefing from the Met Police on the reality of policing London”.
A Cameron spokesperson said that Cameron “completely disagrees with the comments made by Donald Trump, which are divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong”.

Is trump the long awaited white knight who has come to rescue us from the slavery of political correctness?? I hope so, it’s scary that the police in the city’s of Britain and Europe are afraid of the Islamics
One must first be qualified before being disqualified.One must first be qualified before being disqualified. Trump never had the qualifications. He only met the requirements.
i see that Isis has 98 red friends here, hope that they find a secure hiding hole when the bearded head hunt hunters com looking for the Irish infedils
A US President is supposed to be a unifying figure, who upholds the Constitution and what it stands for. Any candidate who expresses a desire to break the laws enshrined in the Constitution is not qualified to be a janitor at a public building, not to mention the President of the United States. What a shameful day for America if he gets elected.
Are any politicians anywhere completely moral? Dare I say it’s the nature of Western politics, unfortunately. But it’s never totally the fault of the politicians…it’s also the fault of the people who elect and reelect them, the people who don’t come out to vote against them, and the people who unfairly influence elections with their money and power. That’s why American politics are getting more and more screwed up.
The constitution is for people living in America. It does not apply to immigrants so Trump could still uphold the constitution while blocking Muslim immigration. And Trump says he wants to block Muslim immigration “until we find out what is going on”. Quite a lot of reports like this one leave that bit out.
The Constitution applies to all laws passed in the United States, including immigration laws. One of the most important of those constitutional protections is the 1st amendment, which bars religious rules or tests being imposed on not just citizens, but anyone who is subject to US law. What he’s proposing wouldn’t past muster in the Supreme Court.
They could figure out a way, no problem. It’s America. They figured out a way to torture people and hold them in a prison without a right to a trial. That’s also against their constitution.
They could declare a state of emergency or they could instead of banning Muslim immigrants, ban members of totalitarian death-cults and then they could create a list of known totalitarian death-cults with Islam topping the list. There is nothing in the constitution about totalitarian death-cults.
gkrell you say that like you want it to happen. Just because Gitmo happened, doesn’t mean all Americans were in favour of it. Many, to this day, are incredibly angry about Gitmo. They’re incredibly angry about the Iraq War and US warmongering. Just because someone else ignored the Constitution, doesn’t give other people the right to do so. Islam is a religion; religions are protected in the US. Many US citizens are Muslim. Don’t like it? Try to get rid of the 1st amendment then.
@seeingeye……..doesn’t see too far.If you study up on Islam you’ll find that 60%of its precepts apply to non-Muslims,( and negatively so) ; on that basis it is an ideology not a bona fide religion. if we had examined Islam’s credentials long before and acted accordingly we would never have got to this stage.
Read Koran,Hadith, Sira,- and see for yourself.
seeingeye. You said “A US President is supposed to be a unifying figure”. That discounts Obama too so. Because he is one of the most divisive Presidents in US history.
Seeingeye, Americans only cherish the constitution when is suits them. Obama was ordering drone strikes all over Pakistan murdering people and only the alternative media picked up on it. All the right-on luvvie “liberals” ignored it. He targeted and assassinated an American citizen called Anwar al-Awlaki without a trial and his son too for good measure and again all the right-on luvvie liberals who hated Bush completely ignored it. Only libertarian sites were concerned about it.
When there is a Salmonella outbreak, nothing is allowed to be imported from where the Salmonella came from. Trump says he wants to ban Muslim immigration until they find out what is going on. ISIS say they already have 4000 fighters in Europe due to the migration wave that happened this year.
The House Security Chairman in America has said ISIS Tried To Use Refugee Program To Get Into U.S.
I’m forgetting the big one: The Snowden leaks. America is spying on its citizens and collecting their data which is against the constitution and it was allowed to happen. America always finds a way when the constitution doesn’t suit them. They have checkpoint all over the country despite Americans’ “right to travel unmolested”.
Banning Islam is definitely the way to go and hopefully it’s something that will happen in Europe in the near future. We need it. Islam is a disgusting cult given protection under the guise of a religion. It’s insane really when you think about it.
@Mick Jordan…….Totally agree. And deviously divisive on purpose.By playing the race card on numerous occasions he knows Americans won’t try to get him out of the White House for fear of causing riots all over the place.
Americans have been well and truly taken for a big ride by ‘The Mole’ in the White House.
@Red Marauder…. You are referring to ZAKAT or Muslim Charity. Levied at 2.5% of a Muslim’s income it amounts to about $20 billion annually. There are 8 categories of recipients one of which goes to funding Jihad. 12.5% to funding global Jihad. That alone is one good reason for banning or reforming Islam.
He’s too stupid to ever figure out what’s going on, but here’s a hint: a republican president and his British lackey totally destabilised Iraq, allowing a previously minor and insignificant group of fundamentalist jihadists to steadily grow in power until they eventually established a caliphate and expanded into other countries. The illegal invasion of Iraq was ground zero for this.
Isis has called on foreign based wahabbi sunnis to attack non-muslims ( kuffar/infidels). Attacks in london, paris, Denmark, Sweden, madrid, holiday resort tunisia, attempted massacre thalys train brussels-paris, means he’s right. Isis chief spokeman Sheikh Abu-Muhammad al Adnani called on muslims in Western Countries to find an infidel, smash his head with a rock, drive over him with a car, or destroy his crops….
Dermot, the Democrats (Obama) have continued Bush tradition and decided to de-stabilize Syria allowing isis to increase caliphate into Syria. Trump talks straight. He is saying no islamic immigrants until he can figure out what the hell is going on. And he’s right. The family that perpetrated this masacre in california were regarded as quiet unoffensive people. Who…turned out to be very dangerous. The koran teaches to befriend ur enemy…. Trump doesn’t want paris2 in usa and who can blame him?
Under the Tafkir Shiism is regarded as innovation and therefore an insult to the true Koran and the Shiite’s are equally at risk as other Kuffar (infidels) incl. Christians, Jews etc.
Gregory I agree about Obama, but getting back to Trump, no one really know what he means by no more Muslims allowed in. Would Mohammed Ali be allowed to come and go as he pleases? Does he mean refugees and migrants, or Muslim American citizen returning home from holidays? Trump also yesterday (it’s not reported on this site) called for curtailment of the internet and said he was going to speak to Bill Gates about it. Apart from the stupidity on display here, it shows a complete disregard for the principle of free speech and again shows Trumps lack of understanding of his own countries constitution. He’s either mad or bad.
Gregory. It’s the 2 headed snake syndrome. Wether they vote republican or democrat, it’s the same 1%ers pulling the strings. They support both with their money and are laughing at everyone arguing about which one is better.
Dermot, we have to finally accept the Internet and mobipe telephony is a powerful weapon for terrorist groups. And so monitoring is required. I have nothing to hide so monitor away. Internet previously was developed and onpy used by the Military but in the wrong hands it is a very dangerous tool.
Gregory he wasn’t talking about monitoring, as someone with nothing to hide I’d have no problem with it, within reason, but that’s not what he said, he said shut down.
Trump is not stupid.
He has the media chasing him night and day. They are obsessed with him.
He has had more air time than all the opposition candidates combined.
Free advertising and the media have obliged.
In Today’s examiner on the front page, they reported:
The number of Muslims deemed to be a security risk and refused entry through Cork airport has almost doubled in the last two months. Senior gardaí say around 40 people who arrived at the airport on foreign flights in the past two months have been refused entry.
My questions are, how do they know which are a security risk and which are not?
Where are they coming from?
Why do they want to come to Ireland anyway?
Seems to me Muslims want to live in every country other than a Muslim country.
Shouldn’t that be telling them something?
They are putting on more Guards for the airport and it likely costs the state a large amount already to monitor Muslim individuals whom they consider a danger like the guys who came back from fighting in Syria and that one ISIS guy they could not deport because he had an anchor baby.
Then we have ISIS saying they have smuggled 4000 fighters into Europe so far and one Muslim cleric saying ISIS cells are living and preaching hatred here.
Have a look at this map from Pew research showing support for ISIS in the Muslim world.
Seeing as the authorities have no way to weed out the 9% of Pakistanis who support ISIS from entering America and only allow in the other 89%, all Trump is saying is, maybe we need to temporarily halt all immigration until we figure out how to.
So I can understand where Trump is coming from.
Following the Islamic terror attacks in Paris that killed over 130 people, France has begun raiding mosques, despite cries of “Islamophobia” and racism.
In a controversial move, a mosque in Lagny-sur-Marne was thoroughly raided by French authorities Sunday after its members were suspected of supporting the Paris terror attacks and the Islamic State.
What they found was absolutely chilling.
France 24 reports that police uncovered massive stash of 7.62mm Kalashnikov ammunition and ISIS propaganda videos.
A revolver and “jihadist documents” were also found at the home of one of the mosque leaders.
This is the third mosque to be closed in France since the Paris attack on November 13. As a result of the terror attacks, 2,235 homes have been subsequently raided.
At least 334 weapons were confiscated and 232 Muslims were arrested, with 22 under surveillance with travel bans and 9 placed under house arrest.
I should remind people that last year a bomb factory was discovered in Tallaght by accident and two “foreign nationals” fled the scene when disturbed. I have not heard an update since this story was initially reported.
jamie dwyer, Very interesting that you got red thumbs and that not one of those red thumbers has given any comment whatsoever about the video you posted. They have their heads stuck in the sand so much so that I’d imagine not one of them watched the full thing…afraid they might be forced to question immigration in any way…
Jamie Dwyer, I just viewed that clip that you recommended and it’s scary stuff, the YouTube title is “with open gates” this is the kind of stuff that will bring the far right to power in Europe once again,
Religious profiling and border walls would not have prevented the mass shootings at Columbine High School, Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, AME Church in Charleston, Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Washington Navy Yard, Virginia Tech, the movie theater in Aurora Colorado, Marysville-Pilchuk High School, Umpqua Community College, and the Gabby Giffords campaign event in Tucson, AZ, just to name a few.
Like him or loathe him . He certainly says it as he see’s it. And that’s kinda refreshing. Just think about it a politician who gives political correctness the bin. I’m enjoying the chaos and all the drama in his wake. Even if it does make your hair stand on end !!
Me too, its great! And pissing off all those political correct bullshit artists the world over is a huge bonus! im surprised the worlds muslims have not called for a ‘day of rage’ over this. i hope he get elected!
So John you would see a fascist elected as president of the most powerful nation in the world just for your entertainment? Stick to reality TV, it’s more suited to your intellectual capabilities, or lack of same.
Larissa And hows he going to start WW3 . One man in america cant start a war . Upper and lower houses would have to vote on it . But dont let facts get in the way of your liberal agenda .
Imagine Trump going up against Putin.. we’d all be dead within weeks.. It’s not even funny to think that this dumbass could possibly become the world’s most powerful man..
He probably wont be elected Larissa, WW3 probably wont start, its hard to predict the future, but it looks grim, these proxy wars the us and saudia arabia are fighting, the chances of a nuclear weapon falling into the wrong hands, im more concerned with loads of little regional attacks, with the added threat of wmd’s and chemical weapons and mad jihadis.
if he does get elected, he will tone things down. maybe everything will be fine.
Larissa , how d o you know that , the clown that’s president at the minute lifted all sanctions on Iran and gave them 150 billion and left 4 American hostages in Iran to rot , trump has and still does keeps thousands of Americans working , Obama wouldn’t put a 5 year jig saw together , he is hated in the states and I know this because I live there
The clown that’s was president did nothing about North Korea and and its nuclear capacity – GW Bush
“he is hated in the states and I know this because I live there”
yep you are an American republican ..
This is not conservatism,” said Mr. Ryan, the House speaker and the Republican vice-presidential nominee in 2012. “What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for and, more importantly, it’s not what this country stands for.”
“Some of our best and biggest allies in this struggle and fight against radical Islamic terror are Muslims, the vast, vast, vast majority of whom are people who believe in pluralism, freedom, democracy, individual rights,” Mr. Ryan said.
” he is hated in the states and I know this because I live there”
Enda Kenny is hated in Ireland and I know because I live there..
Obama has many faults but he has also done good for his people in America ..
Nearly 9 out of 10 people now have health insurance in America
He also introduced TARP where people were just about to lose their homes
God forbid, but if one of your family was the victim of a radical jihadist mass shooting, I don’t think you’d be as accepting of potential terrorists entering your country. ISIS are already in the United States. They just attacked. Calling for a halt to this mass immigration and only allowing people in who have been properly vetted is common sense. You’re all calling him a lunatic because every media outlet in the world just told you how to think. It’s the general population who is the lunatic. That’s why the world is the way it is.
But it’s ok for Obama to have more troops in Muslim countries than any other president in history bombing & shooting them but everyone’s offended because Trump doesn’t want them in America.
Because Obama is black nobody will criticise. The absolutely funniest hypocrisy I’ve ever seen. All the lefty libtards adore Obama cos it’s cool & PC to do so but booooo down with Trump :-) :-):-)
I think Trump misspoke about London though there are areas in Sweden which the police are scared to enter like the one a journalist attempted to make a movie about recently and the residents’ habit of throwing stones at police who was herself then attacked and had stones thrown at her.
UK police have not said there are areas they are afraid to enter.
However they have said Parts of the UK are becoming no-go areas because minority communities are operating their own justice systems. That’s according to the Chief Inspector of Constabulary.
Tom Winsor said police officers were simply never called to some neighbourhoods.
He said: ‘There are some communities born under other skies who will not involve the police at all. I am reluctant to name the communities in question, but there are communities from other cultures who would prefer to police themselves.
‘There are cities in the Midlands where the police never go because they are never called. They never hear of any trouble because the community deals with that on its own.
‘It’s not that the police are afraid to go into these areas or don’t want to go into those areas,’ he said. ‘But if the police don’t get calls for help then, of course, they won’t know what’s going on.’
Honour killings, domestic violence, sexual abuse of children and female genital mutilations are some of the offences that are believed to be unreported in some cities.
Mr. Trump’s statement about Paris has no basis in fact: There are no districts there or outside Paris where the police have said they are unwilling to go. The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, meanwhile, said that Mr. Trump’s claim about his city was “complete and utter nonsense.” Saying crime was falling in London and New York, he added: “The only reason I wouldn’t go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.”
@Dingle Holiday…….The Sunday Telegraph and Mr. Monzur Rahman,who almost lost his eye would disagree with the Mayor of London
—-”The Sunday Telegraph uncovered more than a dozen other instances in Tower Hamlets where both Muslims and non-Muslims have been threatened or beaten for behavior considered to be a breach of fundamentalist “Islamic norms.” Victims said that police ignored or downplayed outbreaks of hate crime, and suppressed evidence implicating Muslims in them, because they feared being accused of racism or “Islamophobia.”
One victim, Mohammed Monzur Rahman, was left partially blind after being attacked by a mob in Cannon Street Road, Shadwell, for smoking during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. “Two guys stopped me in the street and asked me why I was smoking,” he said. “I just carried on, and before I knew another dozen guys came and jumped me. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in hospital.–”
@DH……What’s that got to do with a man being attacked in Tower Hamlets and almost losing his eye…
And others too have been savagely attacked.
There are no go zones in London and Tower hamlets is one of them.
If Trump fails in his US Presidential campaign, we Irish might be stupid enough and prejudiced enoiygh to appoint him as Dictator of Ireland if the naked prejudice of many of the posts are representative of mainstream opinion in Ireland.
@Fiona………same old propaganda from Fiona again. Everything people do/suggest that criticizes terrorism is falling into the hands of ISIS. Makes you wonder how Fiona knows so much about how ISIS thinks.
In a sometimes tense exchange with Joe Scarborough on the MSNBC program “Morning Joe,” he insisted that fears of terrorism had made policing difficult in places like London and in Paris, the site of the Islamic State attacks on Nov. 13 that killed 130 people.
“Paris is no longer the same city it was,” he said, before adding, without citing any evidence: “They have sections in Paris that are radicalized where the police refuse to go there. They’re petrified. The police refuse to go in there. We have places in London and other places that are so radicalized that the police are afraid for their own lives.”
Mr. Trump’s statement about Paris has no basis in fact: There are no districts there or outside Paris where the police have said they are unwilling to go. The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, meanwhile, said that Mr. Trump’s claim about his city was “complete and utter nonsense.” Saying crime was falling in London and New York, he added: “The only reason I wouldn’t go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.”
@Dingle Holiday…..There are hundreds of recorded proofs of NO Go Zones in France that are totally unsafe to enter into…..
—”Fabrice Balanche, a well-known French Islam scholar who teaches at the University of Lyon, recently told Radio Télévision Suisse: “You have territories in France such as Roubaix, such as northern Marseille, where police will not step foot, where the authority of state is completely absent, where mini Islamic states have been formed.”
French writer and political journalist Éric Zemmour recently told BFM TV: “There are places in France today, especially in the suburbs, where it is not really in France. Salafi Islamists are Islamizing some neighborhoods and some suburbs. In these neighborhoods, it’s not France, it’s an Islamic republic.” In a separate interview, Zemmour — whose latest book is entitled, “The French Suicide” — says multiculturalism and the reign of politically correct speech is destroying the country—” http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5128/france-no-go-zones.
(4) Then you win
Now that would be the funniest election result in history if it came true
Just to watch the libtards cry into their moca-frappa-al-pacinos it would be worth it
Trump and is nothing more than controlled opposition.He was on Alex Jones last week.You see Hillary has a lot of nasty skeletons in her closet.Best solution is to have a runner against her who is so crazy the people will run to her instead…I predict Hillary in power next year…and then the real s h i t starts!
