The former president claimed, without evidence, that the Biden administration had "allowed tens of thousands of probable terrorists into this country.”

Former President Donald Trump used the ongoing conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip to stoke fears on Monday about immigration into the United States, pledging to reimpose a travel ban on people coming from predominantly Muslim countries.

“As president, I will once again stand strongly with the state of Israel, and we will cut off the money to the terrorists on day one,” Trump, who is running for the 2024 GOP nomination, said during a campaign rally in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. He added he would “reimpose the travel ban on terror-afflicted countries.”

    Really funny he’s going all “War On Terror*” still, yet he’s the one who pulled us out of Afghanistan and let it immediately fall to the Taliban.

      • This isn’t really a “War” on terror declaration, this is more like a “Be Afraid of Terror” stance.

    Stop the money going to terrorists? Is that because he’s taking money from the Saudi’s already? What will change?

    This again? He already tried a bullshit Muslim travel ban. He really does have no new ideas, does he? Even for fear-mongering. He just regurgitates the greatest hits over and over.

    Come to think of it, isn’t a less obvious but still discriminate version of the travel ban still in effect to this day?

    For someone whose entire campaign platform was “I’m not Trump”, Biden hasn’t exactly been in a hurry to undo much of the damage Trump did…
