Trump Says He Would Declare A World War As President

Pay attention, America.

"Trump has long claimed that Muslims and immigrants could bring criminal activities to the United States. In fact, he launched his campaign by deriding Mexican immigrants as rapists, criminals, and drug dealers. Soon after Paris was under siege from a terror attack, Trump called for a ban on Muslims immigrating into the United States, later adding that Muslims should be put into a database so that they can be tracked. He has also condemned resettling Syrian refugees in the country, using a similar argument that they lack documentation.

On the basis of this speculation, Trump said he agreed that this was now a “world war scenario” and, as president, he would seek a formal declaration of world war from Congress.

“I would. I would,” Trump told O’Reilly. “If you look at it, this is war, coming from all different parts. And frankly, it’s war and we’re dealing with people without uniforms. You know, in the old days, you would have uniforms. You knew who you were fighting.”

Trump then pivoted to his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s U.S. immigration policies that would potentially allow undocumented immigrants to stay in the country.

“These people — we are allowing people into our country, who we have no idea where they are, where they are from, who they are, they have no paperwork, they have no documentation in many cases and Hillary Clinton wants to allow 550 percent more in than even Obama,” he added."

He said he would declare War on Isis. Think Progress thinks that means World War?

Edit: Bush and Obama both said they would hunt down terrorists anywhere who threaten the U.S. Is that world war as well?

"...he would seek a formal declaration of world war from Congress."

A formal declaration, really? ISIS isn't a state.
 
Does he not know that the Congress of the United States cannot declare a "WORLD war"?

as opposed to violent ( don't say Islamic) extremists?
POTUS can adjust immigration policy-what are we going to do with jihadists? just keep droning them?
Maybe pick then up for intelligence instead -even where civilian courts are inefficient..

It's Long War -in defense of the democracies.
 
I know. This is another example of how stupid the man is about government yet the cons still support him unquestioningly.

Considering there is a decent size #NeverTrump among conservatives I wouldn't say cons support him unquestionably. And since we invariably end up talking about both candidates when talking about one how many liberals speak out or stop supporting Hillary based on her actions? A pretty serious case of rocks and glass houses.

He didn't say he would seek a formal declaration of world war.

You'd have a better discussion on this by just posting the transcript of the interview rather than a partisan liberal site that is trying to spin it.

If you want to read Hillary threads search anatta's posts. This thread is about Trump making inflammatory statements and threats he can't possibly carry out.

It's not about seeing anti-Hillary comments. It's the idea that people (not singling you out) who support Hillary regardless of what she does calling Trump supporters out for doing the same thing.

But they have to make Trump look bad as possible lol.

I see stupid shit, like this post of yours, and it only cements the idea in intelligent peoples minds that most of you idiots are not interested in anything but partisanship politics, refusing to see the notoriously bad judgement in supporting a candidate of your own party, preferring instead to try to point out how much worse the other candidate is.

YOU are what is wrong with this country and it's why we'll end up in a dictatorship, eventually.

Cry me a river. There are countless anti-Hillary posts here and they started years ago when Obama was barely into his second term. I never took you for a Trumpidiot but guess I was wrong.
 
Does he not know that the Congress of the United States cannot declare a "WORLD war"?

correct me if im wrong but if there is official "war" declared then doesnt that mean that the rules are now a bit looser and we can do stuff we couldnt before? Like every single combatant can now be treated like a spy out of uniform or something.

and now you look even stupider than you were yesterday. anyone that pays ANY attention here (granted, that seems to be less than 6) KNOWS i'm a johnson supporter and NOT a trump supporter.

by the way, calling you out on your idiocy doesn't make anybody a trumpidiot.

A declaration of war does not change the Constitution or any of the privileges and rights retained by the people.
 
Trump agreed and the Fox News personality, who has previously voiced support for a declaration of war against ISIS, pressed him on whether he would ask for a formal declaration from Congress.

President Obama has previously called for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force against ISIS, through the measure has stalled in Congress.

Hillary Clinton also appeared on O’Reilly’s show Thursday and said that there is a “different kind of war” against terrorist groups.

Dies it get you panties in a knot the Trump AGREES with
Obama and Clinton with fighting ISIS throughout the world...???
