Be afraid Muslims, Islam hater Donald Trump looks set to be the Republican US presidential candidate
– Controversial businessman Donald Trump is very close to winning the Republican primaries in the US presidential election.
– Voters in 11 states will choose their candidate on Tuesday, and Trump is leading in ten of them.
– The outspoken right winger has pledged to ban all Muslim entry to the US, among other shocking policies.
Muslims in Nigeria and around the world need to take notice as Donald Trump is only four days away from becoming the Republican candidate to be the next president of the United States.
The controversial and outspoken property dealer, famous for his arrogance and brash style, is well ahead in the polls ahead of March 1 which will see Republican voters in 11 states vote on who should be their party’s candidate.
Trump, who has called for a complete ban on Muslim migration and travel to the US, has already won in three out of the four states which have already voted, and if he wins on Tuesday, his candidacy will be almost unassailable.

The Republican establishment, who initially did not take Trump’s campaign seriously, is now seriously concerned as he is leading in 10 of those 11 states.
The other Republican candidates have taken notice, especially arch-conservative Ted Cruz and moderate Marco Rubio (polling second and third respectively), who went all out to attack Trump during the final televised debate last night.
“If he hadn’t inherited $200m, you know where Donald Trump would be? Selling watches in Manhattan,” Rubio shot at his opponent during the CNN debate.

Cruz aimed his jibes at Trumps history of donating money to the rival Democrat party in an attempt to make himself appear as the true standard bearer of the hard right.
“This guy is a choke artist,” Trump responded, turning to Rubio, “and this guy’s a liar,” he said of Cruz.
Rubio emerged as the clear winner of the debate and the Cuban-American from Florida remains the candidate who poses the most serious threat to Trump’s success.
Republican moderates are now praying that Marco Rubio will win against Trump
However, he will need to build serious momentum in the coming days if he is to have any chance of winning against Trump.
Aside from promising to ban Muslims from the US, Trump has also pledged to build a wall along the US-Mexican border to keep out immigrants, send American ground troops to Syria to take on ISIS, and introduce huge tax cuts.

Primaries are the first contests in the US presidential race in which states decide who becomes each party’s official candidate.
Each primary race is run by state governments and voting is done by secret ballot and they earn delegates for the winning candidates who then vote for them at party conventions in July in which the final candidates are formally confirmed.
After each party has chosen a candidate, the nation will vote on who becomes the next president on November 8 this year.
