Trump Responds to Brussels Attacks: ‘We’re Having Problems With the Muslims’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacted to the Brussels terror attack Tuesday morning, saying bluntly on Fox Business that “we’re having problems with the Muslims.”

“You called after the Paris attacks for a pause to stop Muslims from coming into the United States. That got a lot of criticism, as you know,” noted Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Jerry Baker

“And a lot of support, Jerry. It got tremendous support,” Trump pushed back.

“Frankly, look, we’re having problems with the Muslims, and we’re having problems with Muslims coming into the country,” he said, citing the San Bernardino shooters, one of whom entered the country on a fiance visa.

“You need surveillance, you have to deal with the mosques whether you like it or not,” Trump said. “These attacks aren’t done by Swedish people, that I can tell you.”
