Donald Trump in Fourth GOP presidential primary debate


On Immigration: Don't give maniacs residency in our country

Q: We invited Donald Trump to come tonight, but he declined to come. Trump recently promised if he's reelected to bring back and expand his program restricting immigration from Muslim countries. Here he is in Iowa on October 16th:

Donald Trump: No longer will we allow dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs to get residency in our country. We're not going to let them stay here. If you empathize with radical Islamic, terrorists and extremists, you're disqualified. You're just disqualified.

On Principles & Values: OpEd: "I am your retribution" means he'll exact retribution

Q: Asked last night in Iowa whether he would be a dictator if he wins a second term in office, Donald Trump quipped, no, "Except for day one", promising to seal the southern border.

Gov. Chris Christie: He's made it very clear. There's no mystery to what he wants to do. He started off his campaign by saying, "I am your retribution." [Trump] wants to be back as president because he wants to exact retribution on anyone who has disagreed with him, anyone who has tried to hold him to account for his own conduct. Yet at the first debate, my three colleagues on this stage, when asked if he would be convicted of federal felonies, [said] that they would still support him, even if convicted of felonies. Federal felonies which involve our election process, federal felonies which involve the most sensitive of our governmental secrets. Do I think he was kidding when he said he was a dictator? Be careful of what you're going to get if you ever got another Donald Trump term. It's Donald Trump first.
