“How many more people have to die? This is my father’s narrative. It’s been his narrative since the beginning of the campaign. Secure our borders, be tough. He talked about waterboarding again the other night because at what point if somebody walks in with suicide vests, at what point are you tough on those people? The words aren’t doing it, kissing these people -- it’s not doing it anymore,” he added.

When it comes to his strategy for fighting terror, Trump said his father as president would be “so tough."

“He will go after ISIS like they’ve never been gone after before. He’s a tough guy. He’s also and incredibly compassionate guy. He believes in right and wrong, but when you have three suicide bombers, going in, in vests and wounding 200 people, killing 41 and the death toll is still going up… when does it end?” he said.
