Trump promises to protect one group of Americans, to the exclusion of all others; Washington Post, 6/11/16

Colbert I. King, Washington Post; Trump promises to protect one group of Americans, to the exclusion of all others:
"As a Christian, I neither want nor need the president of the United States to protect either my faith or me. However, I do want and expect the chief executive to respect and defend all Americans, regardless of their faith or their non-belief.
Whether Trump was pandering to the crowd or just expressing his own religious bias, the result was the same: The man who would be president promised protection to one group of Americans to the exclusion of all others, strictly on the basis of religious faith."
