Donald Trump: I ‘Would Certainly Implement’ A Database To Track Muslims In The US (Video)
Donald Trump say he absolutely support tracking Muslims in America via a database, but refused to answer a question about tracking Jews.
In response to an NBC News reporter asking if he would support a database tracking system for Muslims, Donald Trump said, “I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.”
Trump also said there “should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems.”
The Republican frontrunner, when pressed on how he would implement a database system to track Muslims in the U.S. would only respond that it would require “good management,” and added that currently America has none.
He also made clear the tracking of Muslims would be mandatory.
“They have to be — they have to be” registered.Â
Trump was asked how his government would find Muslims to register, if he would find them at mosques, and he said, “Different places.”

Trump was at a campaign stop in Newton, Iowa. When the NBC News reporter, Vaughn Hillyard, first began speaking with Trump, he asked the GOP candidate what the difference was between requiring Muslims to register in the U.S. and requiring Jews to register in Nazi Germany.Â

“You tell me,” Trump would only say, and said it repeatedly.
Earlier today, the number two Republican candidate, Ben Carson, compared Syrian refugees to rabid dogs.Â
And this afternoon, the House, by a large margin, passed a bill effectively stopping Syrian refugees from entering the U.S.
