Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that some people think the United States had already had a Muslim president.
NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd asked Trump about his thoughts on a Muslim president.
“Can you imagine supporting or being comfortable if a Muslim ever became president of the United States?” Todd asked Trump.
“I can say that, you know, it’s something that at some point could happen. We’ll see. You know, it’s something that could happen. Would I be comfortable? I don’t know if we have to address it right now,” Trump said. “But I think it is certainly something that could happen.”
“I mean, some people have said it already happened, frankly. But of course you wouldn’t agree with that,” Trump added.
