It's near impossible that Trump could get into power. If nothing else, he's entirely lacking in the necessary charisma.

In this hypothetical situation however, provided that Trump follows up on his xenophobia and racism and then dials it up to eleven, there's not much we could do. However, more likely is that Trump in power would not adversely affect minority populations. Muslims may not be Europe's favourite people right now, but they're still human. If mistreated, the EU would speak up. Like it or not, if the US wants to remain friendly with Europe, it has to avoid pissing us off too much. And believe me, considering that the US is still at odds with Russia, remaining friendly with Europe should be at the very top of its priorities.

hes lacking charisma is an understatment, hes cringeworthy, hes quite thick and he has no politcal acumen. however hes dominating the republican campagins, and he potentially would be up against hilary on the otherside - who hardly anyone likes. so as crazy as it sounds - its a possibility.and hes tapped into a US general backlash against all the problems islamic groups have caused over the decades - so it seems the crazier extreme things he says, the more population support he gets
Obama will be on the first boat then

Why us? Why should we take them? Surely they would be better accustomed to life in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Somalia, Tunisia, Libya and many other countries where their religion is the rule of law
So many improbable have to occur, so after Trump gets the Republican nomination, he will then need to actually win the election for president. Somehow allow a bill to pass stopping Muslims from coming to the UK, which he needs to get through congress.

Even if all that somehow happened, why should we take them asylum? They could just go back to where they came from? If a Chinese man isn't allowed into Australia, we don't say "Come here instead", no, we just let him go home.

What a ridiculous proposal.

Obama is just a puppet. I hate him too but don't hate him for the struggles in the Middle East. He has no real power, he is a talker for who really decides things. America is too big and thorough for one man.

Trump wouldn't make it to the President's office and I dount congress would back any of these absurd ideas strongly enough.

But where is home? There are thousands of Muslims who have left their home countries tens of years ago, started out families in the US and have nothing at where they came from. Not to mention US born people who lost their parents and now have legitimately no connection whatsoever to any other country. And what about White Muslims?

A Muslim would be more easily integrated into an Islamic country than a non-Islamic country. Does not take a genius to come to that conclusion.

I thought he was going to close the border to new Muslims, not expel the ones who are already there?

Ted Cruz was born in Canada and moved to America when he was 4 yet is eligible to run for president so I think you need to take a closer look at the constitution my friend. As long as you have a parent from the USA you are eligible

No, it takes a fool. Many muslims would find that way of life horrendous.
