Not to mention when he abandoned Singapore and left Australia to the whim of the Japanese army.
Maybe he thought Asia ought to be given to the other Asian master race.
But to be fair to the guy, he did managed to save England from total loss. Else Europe and most of Russia would be speaking German today.
Probably a smokescreen while he pushes out more orders. Climate change agreement was next on the chopping block. I hope the have enough room in trauma centers for all the lefties having outrage overload.I'm thinking the immigration ban might be akin to a 'shot across the bow'. A way of saying he's serious. It's only 90 days after all. 90 days makes it meaningless. So it could have quite a good effect on those who think they might creep in and do harm. There's plenty who would do just that if given the chance.
So on the surface there's all this chaos and protest, but I think it's a clever bit of politics. In 90 days time it won't even be an issue because normal international travel will resume... and yet ISIS will know Trump means business. I think it will work.

Oh he means business unless of course it effects his business interests in which case he turns a blind eye. Of the 9/11 attackers 15 out of the 19 were Saudi Arabia citizens and yet they are left off this ban, none of the many Muslim majority countries that Trump has business interests in were on the banned list. Having Iraq on the list is quite reckless and clearly not thought through, Iraqi citizens have acted as interpreters as well as provided intel for the allied force risking their lives and their family. I'm sure they'll think twice about assisting American soldiers again, not to mention it alienates the army who are currently being trained by the allied forces. We may see more green on blue attacks in retaliation to this and that blood will be on Trumps hands.
Fortunate geography and the Soviet Union saved the UK from German domination.
Is the USA still a democracy?

r or swim around his expensive wall anyway.
I think you're giving the concept far more credit than it deserves. It is reckless, harsh and as the posts above mine point out there are many, many holes in his plan.
He will further alienate and anger those who would like to harm the US.
There are already more than 3 million muslims living in the US. Trying to stop a few more from entering just because, maybe 0.00001% of them may arrange a terrorist act seems pretty dumb and counter-productive to me.
They can just fly to Mexico and tunnel under or swim around his expensive wall anyway.
With Obama (and potentially Hillary), the approach was to let anyone and everyone in, then have a candlelight vigil and group hug when people get blown up or shot in cold blood by terrorists. Don't you think that's ridiculous?
If banning all Muslims from certain countries for 90 days seems harsh, well I don't call that harsh. Harsh is when someone gets blown up.
For me it's just a show of power. A way of saying "you're finished". (to ISIS, not Muslims).

Yes, because droning the bits and pieces out of ISIS and everything and everyone around "them" isn't enough o fa show of force.
To really mean business, you have got to ban Muslims who have been vetted and scrunitised by your security agencies and deemed safe to enter.
Beside the racism behind Trump's ban, it just show that he and his administration have no clue who enter the country. That's the message it's sending. I mean, you'd only net and blanket everyone when you and your system have no idea who's who and what's what.
They don't need to be in the M.E. killing ISIS and everyone around them. Get them out of there, return those troops home and stop interfering. The M.E. will have to look after itself with the 'help' of the UN. The UN will have to step up and use force when necessary - they will have to change. Yeh they will have to actually do something.
It's true, the US has no idea who's coming in, and that's the reason for blanket bans. Trump is very critical of intelligence agencies - good! Maybe they will also have to lift their game.
The bigger the organization, the less accountability. UN and CIA will need to change.
Maybe he should privatise national security over to Trump Organisation. I heard it's awesome, tremendous and very very amazing.
Come on man, all these are just for show. He's playing politics with people's lives... very cool.
yeh RIGHT! It could happen virtually overnight if they wanted it to.
And idiots like Obama would believe the generals when they say "oh it's very complex this war... will take a long time". SUCH bull****, and idiot Obama would just believe that. A country who put a man on the moon in the 1960s cannot defeat a primitive, cave dwelling group of terrorists with AK47s?.... yeh RIGHT! It could happen virtually overnight if they wanted it to.
