The mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, calls Trump's plan to ban Muslims 'ridiculous'

(CNN) Donald Trump's plan to temporarily halt the immigration of Muslims to the U.S. is being met with a mini-wave of mayoral backlash.

"If I had the power, the only banning that would be done is that I would ban [Trump] from Philadelphia," said that city's mayor, Democrat Michael Nutter, on Tuesday . "We don't have any room for that kind of stupidity here."

Hours earlier, another Pennsylvania mayor ( and longshot Senate candidate ), Braddock's outspoken John Fetterman, released a statement calling Trump a "jagoff," a western Pennsylvania slang expression that means stupid.

In a Monday night tweet, Rick Kriseman, the mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, cheekily declared he would ban the GOP front-runner from entering his city "until we fully understand the dangerous threat posed by all Trumps."

Kriseman's riposte landed Monday night a few hours after Trump's controversial call for "for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
