After several days of reports about the content of the executive order, President Trump today signed the document, imposing a four-month ban on all refugees from Syria, as well as a 90 day ban on all visitors from seven different Muslim-majority countries.
Trump insisted he only wants to allow people into the US who “love deeply our people,” and promised extreme vetting for citizens of other Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, who are absent from the full-scale ban on visitors.
Trump told reporters it is too easy to get into the country, and that “it’s gonna be very, very hard” for people from certain countries to enter the United States. “Our country has enough problems without allowing people to come in, who in many cases or in some cases, are looking to do tremendous discussion,” he added, insisting this did not amount to the “Muslim ban” he’d proposed during the election campaign.
Exact details of the executive order still are not a matter of public record, but the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said it had caused “chaos” for Arab-Americans who had family members who were already en route to the country for a visit.
While Trump’s ban on Syrian refugees is temporary, the executive order reportedly significantly limits the number of refugees who will be allowed in the future. Trump says that Syrian Christian refugees will be given priority in admissions, which experts warned would be unconstitutional.
Dickhead.
Doesn’t make any sense.
Iranians – mostly Shia Muslims
Iraqis – Mostly Shia Muslims
Yemenis – comprises of Houthi – a branch of Shia Islam. They are fighting Al Qaeda and ISIS and being subject to genocide by the Saudis as we speak.
Syrians – Shia or non Wahabi Sunni Muslims
The above mentioned are the biggest victims of Al Qaeda and ISIS. Not only that, for centuries they have gone oppression. Not one of these groups have carried out any form of terror. In fact as people (not their governments), they are the most pro west, liberal and modern among all Muslims.
So who is Trump pandering to by banning these people? The deplorable racist base of poorly educated morons? Netanyahu/Israel/AIPAC? The Sunni Wahabi oil pimps in Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc.?
Yes I will have to check on you about this . No Shia terrorist suicide bombers . I always blamed all Muslims . Although I agree in Syria the head choppers are the Sunni
“No Shia terrorist suicide bombers.”
That will be news to the ghosts of the 200+ Marines killed in Beirut in 1983.
attacking a foreign military on your own soil is not terrorism
There’s Jason Ditz using that same stock photo he used yesterday on this topic. Not much doubt how he feels about this!
It’s the perfect photo to relay the message that Trump is mentally ill. (even though it was from his mocking caricature of a physically handicapped media person)
He was disabled, and Trump did mock him. But not for his disability. For being an integrity-challenged media hack. His disability does not give him a free-pass from being called out as yet another dishonest media presstitute. (Apologies to all honest sex-workers.)
You’re the true Trumper jeff! Even though that’s not your own answer, it’s the official answer. Sorry jeff, but it doesn’t sell here and Ditz made a point of saying that. Not me.
luv from Canada.
It is my answer and it is the real news, the real facts. You’ve been lied to repeatedly, and true to form, you ate it up. See my response to Terry below for the rest of the answer.
Jeff really! Nobody is left buying into Trump as being a normal person. His claims of his biggest inaugurations crowd sort of clinched it from now on.Your counterspin on this one doesn’t work any better than the crowd size one. The whole damn world is laughing at you louts jeff. He’s fu–ing nutzo schizoid jeff. Make the most of it while you can!
Jeff, it’s a minor point, but he was quite clearly mocking the reporter for the disability, as he has never before or since done those same types of movements for any other person, reporter or not. Get real.
No, Terry, he was not mocking the reporter’s disability.
“Trump has often used those same convulsive gestures to mimic the mannerisms of people, ***including himself***, who are rattled and exasperated.”
Fake News: Trump Did Not Mock Disabled Reporter And Other Lies From The Left

“…the media are too lazy and those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome are too nasty and small-minded to look deeper. The truth is, Trump has often used those same convulsive gestures to mimic the mannerisms of people, including himself, who are rattled and exasperated.
Why couldn’t the mainstream media look this up? Gavin McInnes of TheRebelMedia.com and Taki’s Magazine did, and he has the video evidence to show that Trump has a history of flailing his arms to make a point. It isn’t something he reserved for Kovaleski. …”
Just Google up: “Youtube, proof that Donald Trump did not mock reporters disability”
Here’s just one of many links laying out the truth:
Just one of the many lies told about Trump by “the dishonest media” in the course of the tsunami of lies that was the campaign. Told over and over and over and over and over and…
Sorry, citing a PR puff piece from the Maury Povich show (!) is not going to get you anything but ridicule.
Thanks for clearing that up Terry but I still have to disagree with you on it being a minor point. When a president or presidential candidate does it, it’s not minor.
As for jeff, he’s still on the honeymoon with Trump.
luv from Canada.
In addition to everything else, it is being reported none of the relevant agencies were consulted and they are ‘scrambling’ to implement this stupid policy.
The consequences of this are going to be manifold, and some not so obvious right now. I don’t say unintended consequences because I am not convinced Trump is not purposely trying to subvert the country at the behest of a foreign entity. His talk and behavior certainly fits the theory.
What relevant agencies are you talking about . I hope you don’t think the U.N. is a relevant agency for our refugees
He’s surrounded himself with zionists. He has kneepads and a doughnut shaped grin ready to go for when Bibi visits.
Anyone surprised?
Anyone else think that we’re one jot of the pen away from cramming Muslims into “camps”? The ink won’t even dry before the first actions are taken, I bet money on that.
Obama also thought He had to ban Iraqi refugees Because The government Bush installed in Iraq did not protect Christians like Saddam Hussein did . In a year or so over a million Christians disappeared from Iraq . So Obama put a 6 mo ban on refugees during this period . It seems the United has not wanted Christian refugees . I don’t recall the Churches complaining nor the ACLU threantning court action
Well at least tonight we know now why Jason chose the ‘mentally retarded’ stock photo!
Trump shot down in flames! LOL
