CNN’s Dozier: Trump’s Undermined Efforts to Fight Global Terror with Immigration Comments

‘But to his supporters, to his base, this is going to be something that they rally around’

EXCERPT:

DOZIER: "He never used the phrase white Europeans, that there weren’t enough white Europeans anymore, but that is how it will be read both by immigrants, by the largely cosmopolitan populations in places like London and Frankfurt, and also by the splintered political parties across Europe that are pushing for that kind of anti-foreigner, anti-immigration mandate. So what he has done is weaken the hand of many of his allies who are trying to do things like the outreach to immigrant communities to try to fight terrorism. So in a sense, he has short his own efforts to fight global terrorism in the foot. But to his supporters, to his base, this is going to be something that they rally around."
