I'm always amazed at how Trump apologists try to make it seem like all he's doing is discussing important policy matters surrounding things like immigration, security.
"Ban muslims (temporarily)" is not a reasonable policy proposal. It's an idiotic oversimplification of the issue (not all Muslims are the same or come from the same places) and its clearly pandering to bigotry. Its not like he even attempts to make a somewhat mature reasonable argument out of it, like saying "we need to understand the most high risk sources of terror suspects and re-design the policies assessing immigration from those parts of the world, while still honoring our freedom of religion and protecting people of all backgrounds and ethnicities who contribute to this country."
They pretend they can't see the difference between those statements. But they can, they just don't care because the bigotry is okay in their books.
If Trump wanted to make reasonable and nuanced arguments about these issues, he would. Its not like the world is misunderstanding him.
