Trump stumped in New Hampshire

At a Trump rally in New Hampshire last Thursday evening, "the Donald" was confronted with a man who shouted out that Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American." He continued, "We have a problem in this country--it's called Muslims." And went on to say that they're having training camps in the US where they're training to kill us. The man wanted to know what Trump would do about it.

Trump's response, as the question was being asked: "We need this question? This is the first question?"

Then Trump said nothing to challenge the guy, who, I believe, was a shill, a plant. His lack of response has caused Trump trouble, not only from the GOP establishment, but also from the Hillary Clinton spontaneity brigade. Hillary called his take on Islam "hateful rhetoric," using self-righteous indignation to neatly sidestep her email scandal.

Trump tweeted that he has no responsibility to respond in order to defend Obama, saying if the shoe were on the other foot, Obama would have done the same to him about a false claim.

Well yeah, maybe so. It's certainly a better response than responses he now used twice about not hearing the full statement to which he had responded--the Quds v Kurds, and the claim made by the guy that Obama was a Muslim. It sure seemed like he heard it.

Not a good strategy at all.

The deeper issue, however, is that conspiracy theorists have long held the belief that Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim because from what we now know, he has done nothing as president to disabuse us of that notion. In fact, with the way he appears to defend Islam at the expense of Christianity, it leads many to doubt his actual religion.

But is Obama, in fact, a Muslim?

There is no actual proof that he is, but his father was a Muslim as was his step-father. That alone, by Sharia law, makes him a Muslim.

But is he really?

Nah. He's probably a non-believing-transnational progressive. 

He certainly isn't Christian, in spite of his 20 years at Jeremiah Wright's so-called Christian church. I believe that Wright is about as Christian as Rev. Al Sharpton is a racial uniter. 

So how should Trump have dealt with the guy's statement about Obama being Muslim?

He should have said: "I don't believe Obama is a Muslim, but his best friends, those who are leaders of other nations, are Muslims, certainly not Christians or Jews."
