Trump said today that his Executive Order to restrict travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. is about keeping “bad people” out. He said he knows some people are debating about the word "ban', but people can refer to it however they like. http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-imm...ter-2017-2
Trump himself referred to it as a “ban” in a tweet Tuesday defending the decision not to provide advance notice to travelers.

Trump was correct in referring to the Executive Order as a travel ban or a ban on entry into the U.S. for millions of people from 7 different countries. That, by definition, is exactly what it is.
Why members of his staff and some of his supporters are trying to redefine a word really is perplexing. If you're familiar with the terms of the Executive Order and you know what the word 'ban' means, there's nothing to debate.
