Another U.S. newspaper is trying to vividly slam Donald Trump over
his recent suggestion to keep all Muslims out of the U.S. as a means of
blocking terror attempts.
Here’s the front page of Wednesday’s
issue of the New York Daily News, which is taken over by a political
cartoon showing the GOP presidential hopeful grasping the head of the
Statue of Liberty, with the rest of the statue lying prone.
The
image echoes images of jihadist fighters and their headless victims,
while the headline is inspired by the famous poem written by German Pastor Martin Niemöller,
an outspoken foe of the Nazis, about how intellectuals in his country
allowed the party led by Adolf Hitler to purge their targets, one by
one.
The newspaper also published a guest column by Max Paul Friedman, professor of history at American University and author of “Nazis and Good Neighbors,” who had this to say: “Trump’s
repeated claims about New Jersey Muslims celebrating the 9/11 attacks
and his desire to ban a billion people from entering the United States
notwithstanding, he is nowhere near the Nazis’ plans for a Final
Solution. But he is not far from the first steps they took,” he writes.
The New York Daily News comes a day after the Philadelphia Daily News called Trump “The New Furor” with this front page:

Anyone else want to take a swipe at the Donald? Get in line: Several U.S. mayors don’t want him setting foot in their turf; Taiwanese animators are poking fun, and now more than 100,000 Brits are looking to ban him. All of this plus reports his Republican brethren are starting to split over his views doesn’t seem to faze him in the least:
Trump rejected claims that he is a bigot in an interview with Barbara Walters on Tuesday, adding that he has Muslim friends who agree with him: ”I’m a person that has common sense.“
