Donald Trump, frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, has called on his supporters to boycott Apple until it agrees to help the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) override the password to an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters.
Trump says in the video below: "What I think you ought to do is boycott Apple until such time they give that security number," Trump said at a rally in South Carolina. "How do you like that?

Trump's comments begin at the 0:53 second mark.
