WASHINGTON, Dec. 09 (MNA) – Presidential hopeful Donald Trump's proposal to prevent Muslim people from entering the United States has prompted national and international rejection, with criticisms coming from the White House and even from the United Nations.

According to the US presidential spokesman, Josh Earnest, the tycoon has turned to be ineligible to become the next US president in the wake of his communique calling for a total, complete ban on the entry of Muslims in the United States.

In Earnest's opinion, the conservative leaders should be saying right now that they woudn't back Trump for president, as his remarks discredit him, and any Republican that is too afraid to admit this cannot be president either.

Earnest recalled that the first thing a US president does after assuming the post is to swearing allegiance and respect to the Constitution, but the plan designed by Trump, who leads surveys for the Republican Party, includes points considered against the Constitution.

The presidential spokesman also said that Trump's comments about the Muslims are deeply offensive and toxic and might have consequences for national security.

Earnest's criticism joins rejection of Trump even in the United Nations, whose spokesperson Farhan Haq decried the continuation of rhetoric based on Islamophobia, xenophobia or any other call for hatred of any group.

The UN Agency for Refugees (UNHCR) showed concern that comments expressed by Trump can put in danger the program of relocation of people coming from the Middle East in the United States.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Trumps remarks contribute to fuel hatred.

Head of Government of Britain, David Cameron, said the remarks made by the US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump are simply wrong, and therefore, he is totally against them.

Meanwhile, thousands of Britons signed a petition on the Internet for the Robert Gordon University, in Aberdeen, Scotland, to withdraw the Business Administration degree presented to the millionaire in October, 2010.
