As 2015 neared its end, and Republican presidential nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire neared, Donald Trump announced a new priority. The future president declared his support for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” until such time that he was satisfied that U.S. officials understood “what the hell is going on.
