not that i am a trump supporter- but what he should do is turn right around and say "You sir are the very reason this country is being attacked from within, and you should be ashamed of yourselves for not doing the obvious to keep America Safe!

Well that's what his speech writers are for- or spokespeople- He's gonna have to 'surround himself with the smartest people' in order ot accomplish anything- but given his feelings about allowing in muslim refugees- he's at the very least on the right track there by saying enough already- no more- his 'smart people' can take over from there-
