Donald Trump & FDR

SUMMARY
In this article Donald Trump is compared to FDR because of his policies to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. due to the high threat of terrorism. During WWII FDR relocated Japanese Americans to camps in hopes of stopping them from joining with the Japanese. Although Donald's policies are harsh roughly 60% of republicans agree with him, showing that there is a real problem America is facing.
