Fear of Islam is based on common sense. Islam has been opposed to all other nations and religions from its beginning. Remember "the shores of Tripoli"? Americans were fighting Muslims because they consider all infidels their prey, to enslave, to rob, and to dominate.
As to immigrants, no one has said anything bad about LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. The objection is in regard to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who flout our laws, don't share our language nor culture. They seek to prosper at our expense, enjoy taxpayer funded benefits, and have their children inherit our lands. But the liars of the left wing don't want us to focus on that tidbit.
As to "strong women," does that mean false accusers? Or does that mean hard working women, who don't live lives of Hollywood glamour, while caring for children and a husband? The Socialist left are opposed to those women, seeking to replace their familial allegiance with the glorious collective State.
I do agree that republicans are guilty of "politics of fear" as much as democrats are guilty of "identity politics". Both tactics are dividing Americans.
You are engaging in double talk, which is the mode of the political cutout (generally a mode of the Neocons).
The cutout is the worst type of political participant, because they are inherently dishonest about who they are and what their motivations are (and if you aren't being dishonest then you are ignorant of the game, as you have no tenable position).
You are identifying the same politics, in both offensive (we want this because it is in our group interest) and defensive mode (we aren't going to give it to you because it is against our interest), as two different things; using irrelevant "shock value" language.
All politics has legitimate group interest motivation and thus isn't irrationally fearful. All real politics is identity politics because all political power requires deep group cooperation, which is why the liberals (and everyone who really wants to win in the long run) must engage in this mode of politics.
Note that most Neocon "individualists" who comprise the bulk of the "conservative" cutout role in the media, are also zealous Zionists and largely Jewish. They do not eschew identity politics. After all, that would be legitimately immature and irrational because no result can be had for their own interests. They only recommend that those who they preach to abandon identity politics. The reason why they do this is not a mystery: they are preaching to those whom they view as their primary political competition. Again, as cutouts.
I'm just wondering who these "strong women" he's referring to are.
If one of them is Hillary Clinton, then it will interest Mr. Clooney that the only the "strong" aspect about Mrs. Clinton is likely her halitosis. The rest of her, of course, as has been amply demonstrated by video, is a rapidly deteriorating ectoplasmic blob that requires massive assistance to effect even the least degree of movement. Other than the level of abject revulsion Mrs. Clinton causes in normal people, there is absolutely nothing "strong" about her.
Perhaps Mr. Clooney should have been more specific as to whom he was referring.
Are you saying that Trump hasn't promoted national Fear of Muslims.
The Muslim faith and their historical track record promotes fear of Muslims. Trump doesn't have to do a thing. Rational societies should have a healthy fear of Islam. Its overtly and unquestionably imperialist in its goals. That you would omit referencing the long-demonstrated danger of Islam calls the value of your statements, as a whole, into question.

Fear of immigrants.
Liberal immigrant support is a hateful anti-majority and antidemocratic liberal ploy to load the voting base with foreign democratic voters. Its anticommunity to do so, as the cost is the eventual replacement of the communities that are there. All for votes. In addition many immigrant communities significantly alter the crime rate, victimize natives, and represent a fiscal burden. Many institutions, like the local schools, are altered for he worse and eventually lost to dysfunction. Depending on the group we are speaking of. Again, Trump doesn't "promote" any of this. This is reality that is observed by the nation, and the reason Trump was sought and elected.

Fear of strong women?
What's a "strong woman"? The last time that I heard a woman use that phrase in public, it was in a graduate program that she was often grossly misbehaving in, while doing poorly in an academic sense, and trying to drum up gender discrimination against the males. In short, she was a lot of talk, a lot of active hate, and no performance.
Many women perform well, but those who concentrate on telling the world how strong they are tend to be dysfunctional in my observation. "Strong men" tend to do their work and remain humble. Braggarts and those with something to prove, because it hasn't been demonstrated, tend to need such self-talk to gain validation that isn't coming from any other means. Grow up.
For my perspective as an N/A, I would naturally assume your post is referring to those pesky Europeans who came over to take all our land, kill all our people and enslave the rest on reservations.
All of "your land" as an extremely low population group acting as nomads across all of North America, after crossing the Bering Straight from Asia?
Good luck with that. At best, and especially without a significant stationary civilization here, "your land" is somewhere in East Asia. I'd consult with the Siberians and maybe the Mongols.
I get that times were rough when we came (but lets be honest, you didn't exactly treat one another well with all of the inter-tribal warfare, cannibalism and human sacrifice), but the truth of the matter is that if it wasn't us then it would have eventually have been the Chinese.
The Chinese wouldn't have left a single one of you alive. Western China is largely devoid if Central Asian Indians for a reason, and that reason isn't a lack of their trying. They tend to be less conflicted in regard to the morality of warfare than we can be.
People from all over the world have been seeking asylum in America for almost 100 years without problems before Trump.
You need to get out of your bubble in AZ. In no way, shape, or form is it true that there hasn't been continuous major problems that are now cresting (again). Only for someone whose worldview consists of newspaper headlines could that be true. We could spend hours on the ethnic conflicts in this nation, and their tragic effect on history, during the world war periods alone. If you were feeling up for it, we would work backward from there, instead of forward. The history of this nation is one long tragedy stemming from ethnic conflict.
Your ability to be totally unable to discern the irony contained within your posts is absolutely astounding.
From your presuming to be condescending to others with the admonishment the 100 year old rules and reg's are irrelevant and indicating a resistance to change while, for just one example; clinging to the 2nd amendment whose existence has shown no merit other than the one of you busily killing each other at a greater rate than any other nationality.
Then this last one where you present Clooney as an example of an entitled life "not knowing what the real world is like" while worshipping that lying buffoon you installed in your big chair.
You really aren't very good at exercising any form of linear reasoning skills at all.
Neither are you.
To wit, you can't correctly reason that our "rules and regs" are relevant because they are the "rules and regs" and that you wish for them to be irrelevant is, well, irrelevant. Because you have no power to make them such.
Do you see how that works?
The "real world" is that our candidate is in office while you sit there an impudently insult him while accusing others of not having "linear reasoning skills".
I can't decide if the irony is funny or sad. I suppose its both, but the lack of cogitation is a true downer coming from a fellow human being. Try harder.
