Post flagged as fake news. The only people talking about a database of Muslims are the ones trying to be outraged over something they fabricated out of whole cloth.

I feel that we have made a misstep by giving you and your fellow ideological adherents the bat of "fake news" to wield against us in turn, because you are very loud and can use it to continue creating doubt about the real world, but, unfortunately, that was not up to me. But primary sources are easy: I listen to what the guy says, and I react accordingly. And I will neither work on such a project nor work for any client who does. You don't have to act similarly, but you do have to not lie about it.

They quote the explanation offered by the Trump campaign spokesman that clarifies the matter:
>"The national registry of foreign visitors from countries with high terrorism activity that was in place during the Bush and Obama Administrations gave intelligence and law enforcement communities additional tools to keep our country safe the President-elect will release his own vetting policies after he is sworn in."
(This is all from the source you linked.)
Trump assumed this was the subject of the discussion, since, as ABC News itself notes, he was unable to hear the reporter's full question. It's a program that existed under Bush and Obama until 2011, when Obama presumably terminated it so he could use it as a talking point in the re-election campaign (setting up another "Republicans are racist [because they want to be careful before admitting people from countries that are terrorism hotspots]" dig). Trump's advisors feel the security benefits of this program, which has nothing to do with religion, justify its reinstatement. There is no constitutional issue presented by cataloging aliens that are present in the country by their country of origin; in fact, it's a necessary thing to enforce any immigration policy at all.
Trump said nothing about going to mosques to sign people up. When the reporter suggested this, Trump said "you sign them up at different [places]"; one who wanted to give Trump the benefit of the doubt could even interpret this comment as explicitly disavowing the concept that mosques should be canvassed (as in "Should we go to mosques to make sure the Muslims [who should be signed up but aren't, not because they're Muslim, but because they're aliens from a high terror risk country] get signed up?" / "No, different places.").
Trump is certainly a master at the authentic-sounding subtly ambiguous statement. I'm sure that skill is very useful in both sales and politics.
Finally, I would suggest that you refrain from spuriously accusing others of lying, thereby generating unnecessary hostility.
