Donald Trump said that bringing Syrian refugees to the U.S. could result in “one of the great military coups of all time,” CNN reports.
Said Trump: “This could be one of the great military coups of all time if they send them to our country — young, strong people and they turn out to be ISIS.”
He added: “This could be like a Trojan horse. Two-hundred-thousand people coming into the United States and they come in here and we’re totally unprepared.”
