Trump criticized and declared persona non grata in Florida

White House spokesman Josh Ernest called the proposal of one of the US presidential candidates from the Republican Party Donald Trump to ban Muslims from entering the country trying to play on people's fears.

Trump's statement caused outrage among representatives of various sectors of American society.

The mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, Rick Chrisman has banned the entry of Donald Trump after what has been said.

The mayor said that the ban will be in effect until “we all fully realize the danger posed by the tramp.” Thus, Chrisman reiterated Trump’s own statement about the dangers posed by the refugees.

Ben Rhodes, Deputy Advisor to the President of the United States on National Security, said that Trump’s proposal contradicted American values.

Another Republican presidential candidate, Jeb Bush, called Donald Trump a troublemaker.

Democratic presidential candidate and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Trump's proposal "reprehensible, biased and divisive" on Twitter.

Forum previously wrote that Donald Trump She urged to the full suspension of the entry of Muslims in the United States due to firing in the California city of San Bernardino, which killed 14 people.
