ALASKA Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has become a figure of ridicule on social media after he called for the U.S. to ban the entry of all Muslims.
Almost immediately after the real estate mogul made the policy statement, he was mocked on social media and not only by other Republican candidates.
A tweet by Firas Alkhateeb garnered a lot of attention.
"Does anyone know if the concentration camps Trump is planning for us Muslims will have WiFi?," he said.
Users of the micro-blogging site quickly showed support for Alkhateeb by retweeting his message nearly 700 times, liking it north of 600 times and responding in like fashion.
"If they do, I'm converting," Alaskan journalist Brian O'Connor said in response.
"So it's like 1960s Ohio, but with wifi?," O'Connor added, referring to discrimination faced by blacks during the decade.
A Methodist pastor and retired Navy chaplain from Boston also responded to Alkhateeb.
"Can I go? I'm not a Muslim but my Wi-Fi is crap,” said Pastor Williams.
Some feared they may become Trump’s next target for espousing liberal ideas.
"I hope so because as a liberal, I am probably not far behind you," said one user named mfsnyder.
Trump may prevent Muslim entry to the US but one user, Old Darkness, believes online access will be available.
"Behave, under King Trump you'll get dialup and be forced to thank him every morning!," the user tweeted.
