While I still do not grasp the continued positive polling numbers for Donald Trump, he had a hard time with his rhetoric during a rally this past week.

    What am I talking about? An audience member from the crowd got up and decided to say something about radical Islam. Bringing up the same deal that Trump first brought up when Obama ran for his first election, he said President Obama is not even an American. Despite this idea being cleared as simply a myth, Trump did not disagree with him.

     The participant then said something derogatory about radical Islam, and unfortunately was unable to make the distinction between radical Islam (i.e., ISIS, other terror groups) and peaceful, Muslim human beings who are against the violent agendas of the terror groups. Then he equated the false idea that Barack Obama is a Muslim, and shared it with the audience.

     This is where the truthfulness of Donald Trump, the supposed “honest man” virtue he proclaimed himself on 60 Minutes this week (9/27), stopped short.

     He did not correct the man. He let it go, and let all those people continue believing in a lie. Not a white lie, but a filthy lie that stops some anti-Obama groups from supporting the president of the United States and his American agenda.

   You know what? I am ashamed of it. It made me briefly flash back to my middle school years when I supported the GOP, their views on values, and the “idea” of lowering taxes for the middle and upper classes, as well as supposedly decreasing the country’s deficit.

     As I have already proclaimed many times in this publication: Mr. Trump, please don’t let people believe that. Do not let America be anti-religion.

    Anyway, back to Trump. After basically not communicating anything to the gentleman, Trump said he is “going to be looking into a lot of different things…a lot of people are saying a lot bad things are happening out there.” Happening out where? Trump fluffed the question off, in this sense showing his inability to respond to a comment like the aforementioned one.

    I will end with this. Mr. Trump, are you able to separate fact from fiction? And secondly, do you really have any idea how you will fight terrorist groups, whether they are ISIS, Neo-Nazi, or any other terror group out there?
