Donald Trump wants to 'take out' terrorists' families
Sabrina Eaton
Today's Donald Trump news: Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Wednesday that he'd like to "take out" the families of terrorists. "I would knock the hell out of ISIS... [and] when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families," the Republican presidential candidate said on Fox & Friends. "I say ISIS is our number one threat, we have a president who doesn't know what he is doing and all he's worried about is climate change, he thinks climate change is something that's going to go kill us:" TIME
Trump said he'd be OK with restoring the post-9/11 Patriot Act and that he errs "on the side of security" in the ongoing debate over the NSA's phone-snooping program. "Well, I tend to err on the side of security, I must tell you," Mr. Trump said this week on radio host Hugh Hewitt's show. "And I've been there for longer than you would think, but when you have people that are beheading [you] if you're a Christian and, frankly, for lots of other reasons, when you have the world looking at us and would like to destroy us as quickly as possible, I err on the side of security." The issue has split the 2016 GOP field, with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie siding with Mr. Trump in supporting the metadata program and people like Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky opposing the bulk collection.:" The Washington Times
Trump has once again surged ahead of his opponents for the Republican presidential nomination, according to a new national Quinnipiac poll. Trump wins the support of 27 percent of Republican voters in this poll, while Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida comes in second place with 17 percent. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who was once in the lead in some polls, now earns 16 percent, as does Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush garners 5 percent support, while no other GOP candidate tops 3 percent. Eight percent of Republican voters surveyed said they are undecided. In a national Quinnipiac poll released a month ago, Trump and Carson were in a virtual tie: CBS News
Trump last night bragged he was right all along — claiming he's now receiving "hundreds of phone calls" from people backing up his claim that Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the Sept. 11 terror attacks. "They're now finding a lot of people who are saying, 'Yeah, that did take place in New Jersey,'" Trump told a crowd at the White Mountain Athletic Club last night. "I wasn't going to apologize. ... There were a lot of happy people over in New Jersey. I saw it and a lot of other people saw it. And I'm getting hundreds of phone calls, and a lot of other people are too, and things are all of a sudden materializing." Trump has taken heat for claiming Muslims celebrated the 9/11 attacks in New Jersey. Yesterday, he tweeted a link to a New York Post editorial on Sept. 14, 2001, that he claimed backed up his assertions. "Any apologies?" Trump tweeted: Boston Herald
A rally crowd Tuesday night in New Hampshire was much smaller than those Trump usually attracts, measuring in the hundreds instead of the thousands. But it was a sizable group given the rural location and the weather that night — an icy rain fell for hours outside and signs along the highways warned of dangerous black ice. In these sorts of intimate settings, a different candidate emerges. Rather than screaming over the roar of a crowd, Trump's demeanor was softer, his rhetoric was more personable and family friendly. He didn't curse, and his attacks on rival candidates largely focused on their positions instead of their personalities — so he still went after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for being "very, very weak" on immigration but he didn't call him a kid or a baby, as he has in the past. And Trump didn't dwell on his hatred of the media: The Washington Post
Trump shared some unusually personal stories at the rally, turning reflective as he mentioned the Vietnam War. "I love the country. I've seen what it can do," he said. "I didn't serve. I haven't served. And frankly I had deferments because of college, like a lot of people did...I always felt a little bit guilty." He also cited a high draft number and "a foot thing" for not being drafted. That guilt continued to gnaw at him, he said, prompting him to donate money to build the Vietnam Veterans Plaza in New York, "as a way of making up," and eventually to run for president. Trump contributed $1 million in matching funds to build the memorial in 1983. He also told the New Hampshire crowd that he abstains from drinking, and that his children, for the most part, do as well. In what Trump has called a defining moment, his brother died from alcoholism over three decades ago: ABC News
A Marine who performed the national anthem at presidential candidate Donald Trump's Birmingham rally has found himself under fire. Cpl. Jason Perkins, a reservist with Combat Logistics Battalion 451 out of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been told to not participate in campaign events while in uniform following his appearance at the packed Trump rally. Perkins performed the Star-Spangled Banner at the Republican candidate's Nov. 21 campaign stop in Birmingham, the same event that drew national attention after an altercation involving a Black Lives Matter protester. A video of the Perkins' performance circulated online with many military personnel pointing out he was in violation of Pentagon regulations that prohibit troops from wearing their uniform while participating in political events: AL.com
