Trump Shifts on Muslim Ban, Calls for ‘Extreme Vetting’

NBC News

Donald Trump shifted the parameters of his proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, calling for “extreme vetting” of people from “territories” with a history of terror, NBC News reported.

During an interview Sunday with “60 Minutes,” he said people from suspicious “territories” will receive extra scrutiny when trying to enter the country.  

“We’re going to have a thing called ‘extreme vetting.’ And if people want to come in, there’s going to be extreme vetting,” he said. “We’re going to have extreme vetting. They’re going to come in and we’re going to know where they came from and who they are.”

Trump also shifted the language of his proposal during a trip to Scotland, where he said it wouldn’t bother him if a Scottish or British Muslim wanted to come to the United States.

His initial proposal came in December 2015, when he called for a temporary yet “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

    1. Katie, so true. I have prayed for a yr about this, no conclusion only a knot in stomach until last week. My conscience wouldnt let me vote knowing what i know about Trump, none of which would affect his roll as President, its personal stuff. Having said that, i one day i felt clear. I was reminded of the verse
      English Standard Version
      “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”Psalm 46:10

      To me i guess, i was taking God out of the picture, so thats where i am. Have a good one
