Donald Trump’s latest grab for national headlines has outraged leaders around the world, but Trump himself is unapologetic. This morning with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's Good Morning America, Trump defended his stance. "(W)hat I'm doing is no different than what FDR – FDR's solution for Germans, Italians, Japanese, you know...many years ago."'

House Speaker Paul Ryan rejected Trump's latest proposal, "What was proposed yesterday was not what this country stands for and more importantly, it's not what this country stands for." White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said that Trump's comments yesterday disqualify him from serving as President, adding, "For Republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump, that in and of itself is disqualifying."
