Summary: According to Trump there are Americans leaving the country aiding terrorist organizations and are coming back to the countries unpunished. Trump has also said they once they leave they can never come back. The truth to this is that they actually don't let them back unpunished. New America hold records of Americans who have aided terrorist organizations. According to this record 117 people attempted to join ISIS or other terrorist organizations. However 74 of those people were caught before making it to Syria. 43 of the other people were successful in joining the fight. The remaining of these people were killed or arrested. Any american who has left to fight for the terrorist group and has come back would be subject to prosecution. Trump has no evidence that US officials allow Americans who work with terrorist to come back and escape punishment when they returned.
Analysis: This article was published on Monday September 19, 2016 by Steven A. Holmes. I believe that Trump is being ridiculous about this issue when the facts are right in front of them. I see why Trump wants to address this issue and try to solve but there isn't much solving needed, when they're statistics proving that they are already doing everything to solve it.

I am deeply confounded by how Trump can be so openly incorrect about serious, critical issues and face almost no consequences. His supporters either ignore his ignorance or start believing the false information he gives in his speeches.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I am baffled by his confidence to publicly say something about these issues without having correct and extensive knowledge.
