Donald Trump and his enemies list

From Robert Reich

Donald Trump said tonight he’d implement a database system tracking all Muslims in the United States – including Americans of Muslim faith. All Muslims in the U.S. would be legally obligated to register "at different places" around the country, putting their personal tracking information into the database. When asked how his idea differed from what the Nazi’s required of Jews, Trump responded, four times, “you tell me.”

I find it less surprising that Donald Trump is now mimicking Nazi Germany than that no current or former Republican leader has yet denounced Trump's shameless bigotry. Nor, for that matter, has any current or former Democratic leader. It is necessary that Barack Obama, along with all living former presidents, leaders of the clergy, university presidents, heads of every large philanthropy, and editors-in-chief of every major newspaper, condemn this hateful venom from the leading Republican candidate for president of the United States. Every hour it stands without rebuke is more poison leeching into the bedrock of America.
