Daesh, Trump helping each other: Analyst

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was right in slamming Trump for his recent outrageous comments against Muslims, William Jones said in an interview with Press TV on Sunday.

Trump has recently called for a complete ban on all Muslims entering the US in order to curb the threat of terrorism in the country. He has also urged a national database and special IDs that help track American Muslims.

Clinton said Saturday that the billionaire businessman’s “insults” are now being utilized by Daesh as a powerful recruitment tool, calling Trump the group’s “best recruiter.”
