Donald Trump on Salem News Channel
by Jolyon: Donald Trump
In an interview on Salem News Channel, Oliver highlights a moment where Donald Trump faced a choice between two enemies: communists and the Muslim Brotherhood. Trump confirmed both are very dangerous but drew a distinction based on timing. He stated that right now, the Muslim Brotherhood might be more dangerous because it seems to be more in vogue. This stands out as a notable shift since he would have provided a different answer five years ago. The response is particularly striking given the historical rivalry between the US and communism.
