Donald Trump gloated on Facebook Wednesday that he was right when he called Brussels a hotbed of Islamic extremism during a widely criticized interview in January.

“I would rather be CORRECT than politically correct!” he crowed about his chat with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, in which he called Brussels a “hellhole” and said “there’s something bad going on” in Belgium.

“There is something going on, Maria. Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Sharia law, where they want this [and], you know, there has to be some assimilation. There is no assimilation. There is something bad going on,” Trump said, before singling out Brussels.

“You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” he said.

His comments were widely mocked at the time by The New York Times and other media.

Meanwhile, in a speech at Stanford University, Hillary Clinton said defeating ISIS required “strong, smart, steady leadership.”
