In the wake of the second GOP debate, Donald Trump continued his campaign in New Hampshire Thursday night, even taking questions when this happened:
.@realDonaldTrump doesn’t move to correct man who says @POTUS is a Muslim and not American: http://t.co/Rd111yiNj5https://t.co/ya6vE4kF7U

In case you couldn’t fully understand the questions asked of Trump, here’s the transcript via Politico.
“We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. Our current President is one. We know he’s not even an American,” said a questioner at a town hall in New Hampshire. “We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question, when can we get rid of them?”
“A lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re going to be looking at that and a lot of different things,” Trump responded.
Since the incident, Trump has been getting slammed for not dismissing the Clown’s asinine question like John McCain did during his 2008 campaign against Barack Obama.

As far as the Trump question goes I think it was pretty obvious the GOP presidential candidate was caught off guard by it. I wouldn’t say he has some vendetta against Muslims in the United States or around the World who aren’t associated with some kind of fanatical terrorist group looking to take down the United States. Then again it seems based on his immigration ‘policy’ these are types of lunatics he’s attracting.
Furthermore the way Trump handled the question further establishes the notion that he isn’t good with these upfront, out of the blue incidents that the head of the United States should probably be ready for.
Not to mention even if Barack Obama was a Muslim, which he isn’t who cares? Why would that even be an issue. Unless of course you have a problem with individuals who are in fact Muslim.
