Yeah, it's been disgusting. And it's only been a week. This is awful.

So what's this really about?

The Muslim majority nations exempt from the ban have business ties with Trump properties.

I feel like this very important bit of information has not been discussed nearly as much as it should be.

Also... is Trump trying to start a war? It certainly feels that way.

Definitely glad I started my monthly donation to the ACLU!

Just a battle was won, not the war. But still important.

Well, it turns out the Obama administration came up with the list.

My bad! I meant to add a roll eyes emoji thing, but mine don't seem to be working. I didn't notice when I posted.

Trump's statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting:

Quote:“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.

We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.

This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.

I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”

His campaign against the media continues, of course.

The ACLU has received nearly $20 million in donations since Saturday morning. I read their typical year is usually $3-$4 million in donations.
