Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump followed up on his promise to close parts of the internet in order to fight ISIS radicalization, offering his most specific idea yet in the GOP debate Tuesday night.

When explicitly asked if he would take similar steps as repressive governments in China and North Korea to censor the internet, Trump said he would seal off the internet from places at war with America, since the internet was “our idea.”

“I don’t want them using our internet to take our young impressionable youth,” Trump explained.

“So, are you open to closing parts of the internet?” CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked.

“I would certainly be open to closing areas where we are at war with somebody,” Trump said. “I sure as hell don’t want to let people that want to kill us and kill our nation use our internet. Yes, sir. I am.”

1. Ask yourself this lurking Right Wingers, If he can openly talk about walling off the internet...

and mock the 1st amendment, what is stopping him from trying to confiscate your guns?

And if you fight back, whats stopping him from declaring you terrorists, taking your family into custody for being sympathizers and blocking your websites and forums?

4. I remember the Pentagon complaining about how well the Internet

routed around damaged sections as they were bombing the Iraq command and control centers during the first Iraq war.

6. Does he know there is no real matrix? He wants all the virtual porn bars to himself.

7. He seems to think he can marshal talent .

I wouldn't be alarmed at what he says, I really can't imagine Trump holding his own speaking to the scientific community.
And his advisers aren't all that smart ,so there you go ! Trump thinks he can simply suggest an idea or a concept and those with the talent ,those that create will thunder along catering to his whims. He simply cannot be a great achiever unless those that can do fallow him. Thus far he has said nothing of value.

If he really believes it is all about how rich he is, than he is without a doubt a sad sack of potatoes.
