New York State is a closed primary state, so anyone who wants to vote in a presidential primary would have needed to state their new party affiliation before October 9 — a date that slipped by on the calendar for non-Republicans Eric and Ivanka Trump.Donald Trump Jr., however, is a registered Republican, so he’ll be able to vote for dad next week.
TWO of Donald Trump’s three oldest kids won’t vote for their Republican frontrunner dad when New Yorkers go to the polls a week from Tuesday, because they didn’t bother to register as Republicans,They had a long time to register and they were, you know, unaware of the rules, and they didn’t, they didn’t register in time,” Mr Trump told Fox & Friends. “So they feel very, very guilty.”
But it’s fine. I understand that. I think they have to register a year in advance and they didn’t. So Eric and Ivanka, I guess, won’t be voting.Child No. 4, Tiffany Trump, is a student at the University of Pennsylvania and her political affiliations are not known.Barron Trump is 10 and will be able to cast his first presidential votes in 2024.
In the same interview with Fox & Friends, Trump blasted CIA Director John Brennan and the spymaster’s vow against waterboarding — even if a future commander-in-chief ordered it.Mr Trump said US interrogators have no choice but to use extreme tactics to fight ISIS and other terrorists.
Well, I think his (Brennan’s) comments are ridiculous,” Mr Trump said. “I mean, they chop off heads and they drown people in cages with 50 in a cage in big steel, heavy cages, drop them right into the water, drown people, and we can’t waterboard and we can’t do anything.
The CIA used that much-disputed interrogation technique in the days following the 9/11 terror attacks. But US President Barack Obama issued an executive order against it days into his administration, and Mr Brennan agrees with his current boss’ stance.Over the weekend, Mr Brennan told NBC News that, as long as he’s running the CIA, there will be no waterboarding.
I will not agree to carry out some of these tactics and techniques I’ve heard bandied about because this institution needs to endure,” he said. “Absolutely, I would not agree to having any CIA officer carrying out waterboarding again.”
We’re playing on different fields, and we have a huge problem with ISIS, which we can’t beat. And the reason we can’t beat them is because we can’t use strong tactics, whether it’s this or other thing,” he continued. “So I think his comments are ridiculous. Can you imagine these ISIS people sitting around, eating and talking about this country won’t allow waterboarding and they just chopped off 50 heads?
