Homeland Security Chief and TV personality known for his antics

      The oafish real-estate mogul and TV personality known for his antics on his TV series, The Apprentice, makes Bush look like the epitome of sweetness and light.

 

      From calling for monitoring of mosques to tagging Muslims with special identity cards – like Jews in Nazi Germany – Trump has now been emboldened to demand a “total shutdown” of America for Muslims.

 

      The Obama White House and the British and French governments have swiftly rejected the demand as “cynical and divisive”. Even Trump’s Republican peers like Lindsey Graham, Speaker Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush, never known for their love of Muslims, have dismissed the call as unhelpful and ‘not conservatism’.

 

      Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson described Trump’s plan as “offensive” and one that would undermine US security by thwarting efforts to connect with the Muslim community. Fellow candidate Carly Fiorina thinks Trump is Hillary Clinton’s “Christmas gift wrapped up under a tree.” Author JK Rowling compared the brash billionaire to Voldermort, the arch villain in her Harry Potter series.
