US Presidential debate: Trump asks Muslims to 'report stuff'. Muslims hilariously oblige

His comments were met with much disgust from Clinton: "We are a country founded on religious freedom and liberty. How do we do what [Trump] has advocated without causing great distress within our country? Are we going to have religious tests when people fly into our country?" she asked.
