Rational and proud of it.
What an idiotic idea. First of all, it would be unconstitutional. Secondly, couldn't a potential terrorist just lie on the test. How would any answers be verified. Thirdly, this isn't a real thing, just Trump saying stupid shit to excite his authoritarian base.
What I find most despicable and ridiculous is what Trump describes as its purpose:
"“Those who support bigotry and hatred” will not be admitted to the United States, said Trump."
The very basis of the test is bigotry and hatred.
"“Only those we expect to flourish in this country and to embrace a tolerant American society should be issued visas.”"
Tolerant? Of Muslims? Of foreigners? Of those who don't agree with their values, faith, or political perspective?
I don't like Islam. I don't like that it is spreading like wildfire. But I do like the Constitution and the freedom to believe as one chooses.
Small government conservatism or authoritarianism with enforcement through the thought police?
Trump proposes ideological test for Muslim immigrants and visitors to the U.S.
