Watch How Donald Trump Responds When CNN Host Asks Him if He Thinks 'Muslims Are a Problem'

"Do you think Muslims are a problem?"

CNN host Don Lemon asked billionaire Donald Trump Wednesday if he thinks Muslims are a "problem" — and he received a very blunt answer from the real estate tycoon.

"Do you think Muslims are a problem?" Lemon asked Trump, following a conversation about a how the Republican presidential candidate handled a recent anti-Muslim townhall questioner.

Trump was quick to respond.

"Well, I think a certain segment are certainly a problem. And unless you want to be so politically correct where you want me to say, 'Oh absolutely not.' I mean you have ISIS, you have the migration, you have all this stuff," Trump said.

"You have — you know a lot of people think you are going to end up with World War III over the Middle East. I have heard that for 25 years. There is something going on when you see beheadings. I mean beheadings, we haven't seen that since Medieval times. Beheadings! You see dunkings. They call them dunkings, drownings, where they put people in a cage and dump them in the ocean," he continued.

Trump maintained that he has "great friendships" with Muslims who live in his buildings, adding they are "phenomenal" people.

"Have they asked you about your comments?" Lemon asked. "What do you say to them?"

"[T]hey think we have a bigger problem than we do. OK? They think we have a bigger problem because there is a radical Islamic group of people that is brutal," Trump replied.
