Donald Trump said Friday that “everything” he has proposed policy-wise up to this point has merely been a suggestion.
“Look, anything I say right now, I’m not the president. Everything is a suggestion, no matter what you say, it’s a suggestion,” the billionaire said during an early morning interview on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.”
The comments came as Trump was asked about his previous call for a “total and complete ban” on non-American Muslims seeking to enter the United States.
“Yeah. It was a suggestion,” he said Friday. “I feel strongly that we have to do something about [it].”
Trump also said this week that his proposal to bar Muslims from immigrating to America, which led several prominent conservatives to oppose his candidacy, was “just a suggestion.”
“It hasn’t been called for yet. Nobody’s done it,” he told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade during a radio interview on Wednesday. “This is just a suggestion until we find out what’s going on.”
