 Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told TIME that he does not know whether he would have supported or opposed the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. 
 
 “I would have had to be there at the time to tell you, to give you a proper answer,” he said during a recent interview in his office in New York City. “I certainly hate the concept of it. But I would have had to be there at the time to give you a proper answer.” 
 
 Trump added that he believes wartime sometimes requires difficult choices. “It’s a tough thing. It’s tough,” he said. “But you know war is tough. And winning is tough. We don’t win anymore. We don’t win wars anymore. We don’t win wars anymore. We’re not a strong country anymore. We’re just so off.”

 Pressed numerous times during an appearance Monday morning on MSNBC to say whether or not the internment violated American values, Trump refused to respond. 
 
 President Ronald Reagan signed legislation in 1988 apologizing to the more than 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry, including many Americans, who were placed in U.S. detention camps during World War II. The law also authorized reparations for survivors of the detention. “The internment of the individuals of Japanese ancestry was caused by racial prejudice, war hysteria and a failure of political leadership,” the legislation read. 
 
 Trump called Monday for the United States to ban all Muslims from entering the country as a response to the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino. “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses,” Trump said in a statement, “our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.”

 Before every performance of “Allegiance” at the Longacre Theatre, the audience puzzles over an empty seat with a sign, “Reserved — Mr. Donald Trump.” 
 
 Turns out that the musical’s star, George Takei, has been holding open a seat for the presidential candidate since Dec. 10, when Trump called for a halt to all immigration of Muslims. 
 
 Your seat is ready for you, Mr. Trump pic.twitter.com/Pt75d14YfW — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) December 25, 2015 
 
 Takei’s musical is about the internment of Japanese-Americans, including Takei and his family, during World War II that occurred, the actor says, “simply because we happened to look like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor.” 
 
 The two have been pals since Takei was on “Celebrity Apprentice” in 2012. “George was fired by Donald but he doesn’t hold it against him,” a spokesman for “Allegiance” told me. 
 
 Takei wants Trump to see “Allegiance” so “hopefully he can learn from it,” Takei said when he launched #TrumpWatch. 
 
 But Trump — given his campaign and travel schedule — hasn’t had time for the show.
– "So, Mr. Trump, I'm throwing it down: come see 'Allegiance.' Unless you're chicken." So says actor and social activist George Takei in a YouTube video inviting Donald Trump to a performance of the musical Allegiance in New York City. The purpose? To show him a portrayal of Japanese-American internment camps during World War II, the New York Post reports. Takei's offer has stood since Trump said he would ban all Muslims from entering the US and told Time he might have supported the internment camps. "I would have had to be there at the time to tell you, to give you a proper answer," he said earlier this month. "I certainly hate the concept of it. But I would have had to be there at the time to give you a proper answer." Takei, who stars in Allegiance and was in the camps with his family, puts it this way: "If you want to see how tough it was from the comfort of your seat, you can be there with us in the camps and get a glimpse of what it was like for families like mine who were unjustly imprisoned thanks to a politics of fear—much like the one you're campaigning on." Takei has also invited Trump to the musical with tweets like this and started the hashtag #TrumpWatch. The Post says Trump's campaign schedule hasn't allowed him to see the show.
