Donald Trump was publicizing his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.- and he was standing on stage at an event honoring Pearl Harbor.\u00a0 Trump and his supporters came together this week on the deck of the USS Yorktown, and the occasion was the 74th<\/sup> anniversary of the \u201cdate which will live in infamy.\u201d\u00a0 On December 7, 1941, the air and naval forces of Japan struck the U.S. naval base in Hawaii, killing more than 2,400 U.S. service personnel and sinking eight battleships.\u00a0 The post-Pearl panic in America prompted the White House decision to remove Japanese-American families from their homes and detain them in makeshift camps for years (a decision the U.S. has been apologizing for ever since).<\/p>\n

Now, I know that trump was born after World War II, but he knows the basic story of this period.\u00a0 He even referred to it with APPROVAL this week in his speech about barring Muslims, saying that Franklin D. Roosevelt had done the right thing at the time.\u00a0 Trump used The Supreme Court\u2019s decision NOT to interfere when reviewing Roosevelt\u2019s for his internment policy as good precedent for his ban on Muslims entering the U.S.<\/p>\n
