Trump responds to Brussels attack by insulting the ‘city’ of Belgium — and calling for torture

[LiberalArkie]

Donald Trump wasted no time launching off the terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday morning to advocate for waterboarding, a method of torture that simulates drowning.

Speaking on the TODAY Show, Trump, the GOP front-runner, spoke to the hosts by phone about the suicide bombings on the Belgian capitol that left dozens dead and hundreds injured.


Trump was asked what he would do to get information out of Salah Abdeslam, the chief suspect in the terror attacks on Paris last year. He was captured by Belgian police earlier this week.

“Frankly, waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we change the laws or have the laws, waterboarding would be fine,” Trump said. “We work within laws. They don’t work within laws. They have no laws. The waterboarding would be fine and if they could expand the laws I would do a lot more than waterboarding.”

Tell US Governors: Refugees are Welcome. Support the Resettlement of Syrian Refugees in your State


https://action.hrw.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1908&ea.campaign.id=47016&ea.tracking.id=ED2016EVSCgg&gclid=Cj0KEQjw2sO3BRD49-zdzfb8iLwBEiQAFZgZfObls7LfWLrlzgETVBd6X1Wu-67ngsVNPjW2-oV1cckaAmhL8P8HAQ

The United States has long been a beacon of hope for people fleeing persecution around the world. Having escaped with their lives from extremism, violence, and war, today’s Syrian refugees are now desperately seeking refuge in this country.

Over four million Syrian men, women, and children have fled their country since the conflict began in 2011, but the US has resettled less than 3,000. What is worse, more than 30 US governors have turned their backs on refugees and their families by vowing to obstruct the resettlement process in their states.

These governors' actions amount to fear-mongering attempts to block Syrian refugees from joining the generous communities across the United States who step forward to welcome them.

7. He also insulted Belgium and Brussels, not a single word of sympathy or solidarity. He's disgusting.

I heard the interview and it was the most crass, unfeeling "they got what they deserved" line of bull I've ever heard.

I also wondering if he consulted his foreign policy group? Look out! He is talking to his again and that is a scary thought!
