Rick Kriseman, the Democratic mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, said Monday that he was “barring” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from his city after the real estate mogul called for a ban on Muslims from entering the country.
Trump had said Monday that he would like to institute a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslim immigration to the United States.
So Kriseman called for a ban of his own on Twitter:
I am hereby barring Donald Trump from entering St. Petersburg until we fully understand the dangerous threat posed by all Trumps.

Kriseman told The Tampa Bay Times that he was “obviously not” trying to ban Trump from St. Petersburg.
“But his statement was kind of ridiculous, so I thought that it deserved an equal response,” he told the newspaper.
Trump: This shows that whites are under attack in our country and have been for some time. What does a white christian have to do to live a normal life? Dont we all want to kill terrorists?

Good for the Mayor. We just have to ban Trumps until our officials figure out what is going on.
What about Cleetis, Goober and Zeke? They come with Trump.
