Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Donald Trump For Discrimination Against Muslims

That's him told.

Ellen Tannam

Infamous Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been a consistent source of controversy since he announced his intention to seek the Presidential nomination earlier this year.

From mocking a disabled news reporter during a speech to insisting  that Muslims should carry a special ID card, the man really does know how to cause offence.

However in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he was fairly roasted by the host who called his discriminatory policies towards Muslims: “…un-American and wrong.”. Kimmel asked Trump if anyone tried to “talk him out of” saying that Muslims should be temporarily banned from the USA.

Kimmel asked Trump if anyone tried to ‘talk him out of’ saying that Muslims should be temporarily banned from the USA, considering how divisively that comment was received.

Trump insisted that he had many Muslim friends who supported his idea, but Kimmel maintained that his statement was offensive and would actually do more harm than good in terms of fighting terrorism.
