Christmas Market: Muslim Ban

christmas market: Trump proposed the Muslim ban during the Republican primary campaign, drawing sharp criticism from both parties, according to The Waterloo Record. During the general election, he shifted his rhetoric to focus on temporarily halting immigration from an unspecified list of countries with ties to terrorism, though he did not disavow the Muslim ban, which is still prominently displayed on his campaign website. Denouncing the deadly attack on a Christmas market in Germany, President-elect Donald Trump renewed his vow to stop radical terror groups and appeared to suggest a willingness to move ahead with his campaign pledge to ban temporarily Muslim immigrants from coming to the United States. The president-elect, when asked Wednesday if the attack in Berlin would cause him to evaluate the proposed ban or a possible registry of Muslims in the United States, said You know my plans. What's happening is disgraceful, said Trump, who deemed the violence an attack on humanity, and it's got to be stopped. All along, I've been proven to be right, 100 per cent correct.
