Critics have begun comparing Donald Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, but the Republican front-runner said Tuesday that it’s not fazing him.
Hours after unveiling his latest policy proposal to ban Muslims from visiting, or immigrating to the U.S., Trump was asked whether he is bothered by “being increasingly compared to Hitler.”
“No,” the outspoken billionaire told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
The Philadelphia Daily News ran a front-page cover Tuesday likening Trump to Hitler with the headline, “The New Furor.” Trump has also been described as a “fascist” by several of his opponents and members of the media in recent weeks.
Minutes after Trump appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday, he joined on CNN where anchor Chris Cuomo advised him his latest proposal is “not what America is about.”
“Chris, we are at war with radical Islamic terrorism,” Trump shot back, refusing to answer how he would constitutionally enforce a ban that targets individuals based on their religion.
