On December 7, 2017, in one of the most stunning moments of the 2016 election cycle, Donald Trump called for all Muslims to be denied entry into the U.S.

The backdrop: Trump's remarks came five days after the San Bernardino attacks, and were condemned by the Obama White House and a number of world leaders. However, a Rasmussen poll found 66% of Republican voters approved of the policy, as did a plurality of voters overall. While in office, Trump has not pursued a blanket ban on Muslims, though the various iterations of his travel ban have been criticized for targeting Muslim-majority countries.
