Yes but what he proposes is either unconstitutional, illegal or impossible.
No. It's called "ideological exclusion" and the US has a long history of implementing it against various countries, creeds, and beliefs. The Immigration Act of 1990 would need to be repealed or amended. The SCOTUS has ruled on multiple tests that Congress holds the plenary power to exclude aliens from any foreign country and for any reason they choose in matters of national security. The POTUS can't do it, but Congress sure can.
If you want someone to show what the ugly side of politics are, and have it shown by the press, that is fine. But Trump is not a help to that. Trump is not showing any great truths. The man just says any crazy thing that pops into his head.

Poster political figures does it all the time, they play the Hollywood actors greatest role, for the entertainment of the masses, the only thing is that they make themselves look clean, god fearing, family loving but at the end they are all the same, deceiving the masses with well spoken speeches written by others.
People in America has been deceived and will keep been deceived because the poster political figures give them what they want.
Is time somebody brings the ugly side of politics into the new media.

It is refreshing to have somebody in the news talking about issues that our Good for nothing and butt kissing politicians do not dare to address

Yes, and I 100% agree with that for immigration.
My fear is that he will unilaterally lead by decree (like a Progressive Stateist on steroids) instead of congressional process.

New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.
According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah."
Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women. Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension.
Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." - Donald J. Trump www.donaldjtrump.com...
______________________________
Pretty rational thinking, imo. We have a job to do. Determine the "why", understand the problem, evaluate the real danger and threat, then we can talk about opening immigration to muslims again.
We have halted immigration in the past many times. What Trump proposes is smart, but not very politically correct.
I'm starting to love this man.

Oh that is on topic, and it points out to the disconnect running rampant in politics.
People are flipping out because Trump wants to ban something, but they sing a different tune to that other topic.

Just what we need, while were at it why dont we put arm bands on the ones that are here
Anyone ever look at the state of the country and see just how close it mirrors Germany about the time Hitler came to power?
People were so desperate for someone to "DO SOMETHING" they voted in a monster
Im not an Obama fan, but im telling you now, Trump will make Obama look like a choir boy.

I don't hear anyone wanting to ban the 'thing in that other topic'.
