THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[HairOfTheDog]

What's he doing, trump I mean. He's full of pride so he's going to do his best to keep every promise he made. Doyou think this extreme vetting is going to do any good in the long run other than just freak everyone out, which maybe that's his plan.

I think he's full of more than pride on this one, personally.

But, assuming it's just pride and a desire to make America more safe, his Executive Order was not properly vetted and just rushed through without consideration of how it would affect legal U.S. residents, the airports, the DHS, U.S. citizens residing in predominately Muslim lands, and Muslims across the globe (including terrorists). In my opinion.

I agree with Lindsey Graham and John McCain, the Executive Order as it stands now could make Americans less safe. It appears that many in the U.S. State Department also share that concern.

Snip:
WASHINGTON—More than 100 State Department officials have signed a draft formal protest of President Donald Trump’s immigration and refugee order that calls his policy counterproductive to U.S. antiterrorism efforts and potentially harmful to U.S. interests, department officials said.

The dissent marks an early challenge to one of Mr. Trump’s signature policies and represents a message of caution from one of the key parts of the federal bureaucracy that will be tasked with carrying out the new president’s vision.

The State Department officials are expected to submit a final version of the cable, which is a formal, confidential form of diplomatic communication. The cable is part of a “dissent channel” the department maintains that constitutes an official vehicle for diplomats and officials to voice alternative views.
