THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[blueberryhill]

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.

Just read a blurb (not sure of source), but there was advisory of some kind (maybe on CNN) about US citizens being advised not to travel internationally...Trump just keeps digging the hole deeper....He is causing so much chaos around the World and his supporters still won't admit that this man suffers from mental illness...He is dangerous ...I know that the Trump supporters on Mock are pleased with some of his actions. I have also said I would love to get rid of Gov't waste and duplication...Gov't has outgrown its britches...but the consequences of Trump's actions will have dire consequences and place us all in harms way. I think we should crack down on visas, etc., but refusing entry of all Muslims is too extreme...the hijackers entered this country easily even though they had been on watch lists....this entire visa system needs to be overhauled and these visa and other temporary visitors need to be tracked.....and these hijackers and ⁹⁄₁₁ killers were from Saudi Arabia.....so why were they not included on the ban....oh, wait, doesn't Trump have some business interests there? I am sincerely scared for the future of this country with Trump at the helm.....
I know this is selfish, but if Trump puts 20% tax on imports from Mexico, I won't be able to afford avocados...If he and his supporters want a wall, and I am quoting a post on FB, he should start a GoFundMe account so he and his supporters can pay for their stupid wall....a wall is not going to keep anyone out or anyone in and thus, is not worth the cost to taxpayers. It will give a false sense of security...drugs usually come through the underground tunnels.
