Trump Says Refugees Might Be Trojan Horse

Donald Trump questioned whether Syrian refugees are part of a “Trojan horse” plot, suggested buying land in Syria to create a “safe space” and said that in 2000 he could “feel” that terrorists were going to strike in the United States, the New York Times reports.

“Trump boasted to the crowd that in his book, The America We Deserve, published in 2000 as he was considering a presidential run that he ultimately decided against, he predicted that Osama bin Laden would engineer a terrorist strike within the United States.”

Said Trump: “I predicted Osama bin Laden. In my book, I predicted terrorism. Because I can feel it, like I feel a good location, O.K.?”

Trump made the remarks before a crowd of nearly 10,000 in Tennessee and Bloomberg says he “gave the crowd exactly what it came for.”
