THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[HairOfTheDog]

Weird that Saudi Arabia didn't make the list given it was Saudis who flew the planes.

I don't support any of this bullshit.

I don't support it either, nor do most Americans.

But, it's what Trump promised his supporters and I think he's basically of the mindset that he's doing what he promised, sending a message to the world, and doesn't care about the negative effects or feedback.

Trump cited 9 / 11 as one of his justifications, but leaves Saudi Arabia off the list and includes Iraq. Same old money-driven bullshit.

I hope that our military personnel and citizens overseas aren't targeted because of this action.

The fact that legal permanent residents of the U.S. who've earned green cards are included in the ban is not surprising to me, but I see some of the media is surprised.

Trump went back and forth when it came to banning U.S. residents from Muslim countries during the campaign. He meant what he said the first time. Green card holders attempting to return home to the U.S. will have to request a waiver and go through a review.

I did see that the Iraqi national (interpreter for the US govt) who was detained at JFK was finally allowed to go home. He said he likes Trump, but he was confused. I hope other detainees are reviewed relatively quickly, even if there isn't as much media coverage.
