Donald Trump is making far more sense when it comes to fighting terrorism than the world leaders who already have that as part of their job description, journalist
Piers Morgan argues in a Daily Mail column following the Brussels attacks on Tuesday.
President Barack Obama "has zero interest in doing anything tangible to really deal with ISIS [the Islamic State]," Morgan writes. "This is now parked in the tray marked 'next president’s problem.'"
And Europe is dealing with an immigration crises "nobody seems to have a clue how to handle," he said.
But Morgan happened to have Trump, the GOP presidential front-runner, already booked for his U.K. program "Good Morning Britain," and asked him about his plans to fight ISIS.
"I found myself nodding more than I expected," the famously liberal Morgan admitted.
Trump said that countries must tighten their borders in light of terror attacks, especially to relatives of ISIS fighters in Syria. He also wants law-abiding Muslims to root out the extremists in their midst and make it harder for illegal immigrants to enter the United States and Europe.
"Is he so wrong?" Morgan asked.
Trump is not a "lunatic," as many of his detractors view him, but someone who is "genuinely furious at the devastation which ISIS is wreaking, and seriously concerned for the security of his fellow Americans and indeed, the citizens of Europe.
"Hate Donald Trump all you like, but at least he seems to recognise the magnitude of the threat and at least he has firm proposals for how to try to defeat it," Morgan wrote.
