무슬림의 미국 입국 금지 발언으로 전 세계적인 비난을 받는 공화당의 대선주자 도널드 트럼프가 앞으로 영국 입국에 곤란을 겪을 전망이다.
데일리뉴스는 9일 영국에서 트럼프의 입국을 금지하는 온라인 청원 운동(petition.parliament.uk)을 시작해 참여자가 15만명을 넘었다고 보도했다.
청원운동은 "영국은 '증오연설(hate speech)‘을 하는 많은 사람들의 입국을 금지하고 있다. 같은 논리에서 무슬림에 대한 증오(憎惡)를 표출하는 트럼프의 영국 입국을 금지해야 한다"고 주장했다.
이어 "영국은 입국을 원하는 사람들이 묵과할 수 없는 행동을 할 때 그들이 부자든 빈자든 강자든 약자든 공평하게 적용해야 할 것"이라고 강조했다.
만일 영국 입국 금지 조치가 현실화된다면 트럼프에게 실질적인 타격이 발생할 수 있다. 우선 트럼프는 스코틀랜드와 아일랜드에 골프코스를 소유하고 있다. 또 스코틀랜드는 트럼프의 어머니 고향이기도 하다.
미국의 청원사이트 크레도액션에서도 뉴스채널인 MSNBC와 CNN이 트럼프의 인터뷰와 연설 등을 더 이상 제공하지 말 것을 요구하는 서명운동에 들어갔다.
트럼프의 막말은 중동의 재벌 기업가들을 분노케 하고 있다. 아랍에미리트의 부호 칼라프 알하브투어는 몇 달 전만해도 트럼프를 지지했지만 트럼프의 끊임없는 막말 릴레이에 마음을 바꿨다.
그는 "트럼프가 내 사무실을 방문한다면 들어오지 못하게 하겠다. 아마도 그와 얘기를 한다면 다른 곳에서 그가 하는 방식이 아니라 아주 문명인의 방법으로 토론을 할 것"이라고 비꼬았다.
미국에서도 여러 도시에서 트럼프가 들어오는 것을 금지하는 제안이 잇따르고 있다. 필라델피아의 마이클 너터 시장은 "우리 도시는 저런 종류의 천치(天癡)에게 할애할 공간이 없다"고 단호하게 말했다.
플로리다 세인트피터스버그의 릭 크리스먼 시장도 트위터에 "트럼프가 제기한 (무슬림과 이민자 등) 모든 위험요인을 우리가 이해할 수 있을 때까지 그는 우리 도시에 들어올 수 없다"고 강조했다.
조지아 버크헤드의 한 기차길 철탑엔 트럼프 이미지에 나치 상징을 배경으로 한 배너가 내붙기도 했다.

Petition to keep Donald Trump out of the United Kingdom receives more than 150,000 signatures, but it's rejected by politician
Amid the petition and calls to ban Trump, a large Swastika featuring a depiction of Trump was found on a railroad pylon in Buckhead, Ga.
An online petition to block Trump from entering the U.K. gained more than 150,000 signatures — but a politician rejected the measure, saying the best way to deal with the U.S. presidential candidate is to "engage in robust democratic debate" instead of keeping him out of the country.
The U.K. government was required to respond after "block Donald J Trump from U.K. entry" received more than 100,000 signatures.
"The U.K. has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. The same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the U.K.," the petition states.

MSNBC and CNN: Stop promoting Donald Trump.
Petition to MSNBC and CNN:
“Stop providing free publicity for Donald Trump’s racist and dangerous rhetoric by giving his interviews, speeches and rallies massive airtime. Dump Donald Trump.”
Within hours of Donald Trump proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the United States, both MSNBC and CNN interrupted their evening programming to broadcast live footage from a Trump campaign rally in South Carolina. MSNBC took it a step further, quickly announcing that Trump would appear live on its Morning Joe program the next morning, for the second time in just eight days.
The media’s obsession with Donald Trump has gone too far. By relentlessly chasing ratings and devoting massive airtime to Donald Trump interviews and live coverage of his speeches, MSNBC and CNN are providing Trump with free publicity that is fueling his campaign.
MSNBC and CNN should be covering Trump as a candidate, but should not be giving him a near 24/7 national platform to promote his racist and Islamophobic views.
Tell MSNBC and CNN: Stop promoting Donald Trump’s racist presidential campaign. Click here to sign the petition.
The media’s obsession with Donald Trump has real consequences for our Democracy. Desperate for ratings, the cable news networks have decided to broadcast nearly-continuous coverage of Donald Trump’s campaign at the expense of giving real issues the coverage they deserve.
As policy fights play out in the halls of power in Washington, DC, large swaths of the electorate remain uninformed, with cable news coverage largely limited to live coverage of Trump campaign rallies and shouting matches between pundits over whether Trump’s latest racist proposal will help or hurt him among Republican primary voters.
We aren’t suggesting that MSNBC and CNN should ignore Donald Trump entirely, but the near-continuous coverage of recent weeks has got to stop. And when they do cover Trump, they should contextualize their coverage by pointing out his long history of racism, Islamophobia and hate. As Arianna Huffington promised in a piece this week, the Huffington Post will continue covering Trump’s campaign, but at the same time will “constantly remind the public of what he stands for”:1
1.His enthusiasm for creating a database of all Muslims in the United States.
2.His ongoing lies about Muslims in New Jersey celebrating 9/11.
3.His status as birther-in-chief, cynically sowing doubt about President Obama's legitimacy as the duly elected President of the United States.
4.His misogyny -- here's just one HuffPost piece on this, but there's no shortage of these.
5.His xenophobia and scapegoating of immigrants, including his lies about Mexican immigrants and his ardent desire to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
6.His unmistakable passion for bullying. Again, there's no shortage of examples, but you could start with his defense of supporters who roughed up a protester at one of his rallies or his ridiculing of a disabled New York Times reporter.
Donald Trump absolutely has a First Amendment right to say whatever he wants, no matter how hateful. And the news media should cover him as a leading presidential candidate. But it’s irresponsible and dangerous for MSNBC and CNN to provide Trump with a free national platform to bolster his campaign fueled by bigotry and racism.
Join us in telling MSNBC and CNN that their viewers deserve better than wall-to-wall, uncritical coverage of Donald Trump’s racist campaign.
