Please, make him go away!!! Trump says profiling is 'not the worst thing to do'

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump said Sunday that the U.S. would have to consider profiling Muslims in response to terror attacks.

"I think profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country," Trump said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "We really have to look at profiling.
We have to look at it seriously. And other countries do it, and it's not the worst thing to do. I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to use common sense. We're not using common sense."

After the Orlando terror attack, Trump reiterated his call to bar some Muslims from entering the country and his belief that U.S. officials should consider specifically profiling Muslims when looking to prevent .terror attacks.

"People are dead. A lot of people are dead right now. So, everybody wants to be politically correct. And that's part of the problem that we have with our country," Trump told CBS last December in the wake of the San Bernadino terrorist attack.

thing we could do. It is less awful, for example, than internment.
