God, Country, Notre Dame: Donald Trump’s Ban on Muslims

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Notre Dame chapter.

Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is currently under fire for his controversial discriminatory statements.

This created an uproar of questions and statements degrading his opinion.

This week Trump also stated in an interview with Barbara Walters, that he truly believes that Muslim’s should be banned in order to make sure ISIS does not make its way to the US.

The best of all reactions to this recent Donald Trump news comes from J.K. Rowling:
