Really? He didn't do enough during the campaign to convince you of just how awful he is?

Yes I was aware that he is an unpleasant person. I just didn't think he would hit the ground running when it came to alienating the whole world, I couldn't have predicted that he would do quite so much damage in just his first week.

I can't say that I'm complaining btw, less than 0.001% of the world's population voted for Trump, it really is time that the rest of 99.999% didn't allow just one man have so much power and influence, it is neither democratic nor healthy.

This should act as a well overdue wakeup call.

What I dont get is his twitter fb trolling.

I work for a company with 100m budget employing a couple of k people, the boss is leveheaded (as you'd expect) but no way, not a chance would anyone think letting him send a stream of messages out would be idea.

Yet here we have this guy top job in the world and he's a twitter troll!!

teamwork?

Gen. John F. Kelly, the secretary of homeland security, had dialed in from a Coast Guard plane as he headed back to Washington from Miami. Along with other top officials, he needed guidance from the White House, which had not asked his department for a legal review of the order.

Halfway into the briefing, someone on the call looked up at a television in his office. “The president is signing the executive order that we’re discussing,” the official said, stunned.


White House officials in the meantime insisted to reporters at a briefing that Mr. Trump’s advisers had been in contact with officials at the State and Homeland Security Departments for “many weeks.”

One official added, “Everyone who needed to know was informed.”

But that apparently did not include members of the president’s own cabinet.

Of course the NYT is just a hot bed of leftie radicalism...
How long will some of the cabinet last?

Trump stands for Trump I.e. himself, and no one else. He's simply an egotoctistical old man and is just doing what he wants. Hardly surprising his actions at present. Nevertheless, his voters won't care about the carnage since they mostly live outside the big cities anyway. He'll still be getting their support with these actions.

What is hurting him the most though is the fact he classes himself as a New Yorker and currently New York hates him for what he's done to their city (essentially closed it down pre elections with all his entourage etc) and his beliefs. I have a fair bit of family in New York and it's funny to hear their view of what's going on.

US embassy in London saying that dual British nationals are still banned

I thought Johnson had got us an assurance saying that wasnt the case?

Per US Presidential Executive Order signed on January 27, 2017, visa issuance to aliens from the countries of Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen has been suspended effective immediately until further notification.

If you are a national, or dual national, of one of these countries, please do not schedule a visa appointment or pay any visa fees at this time.

If you already have an appointment scheduled, please DO NOT ATTEND your appointment as we will not be able to proceed with your visa interview. Please note that certain travel for official governmental purposes, related to official business at or on behalf of designated international organizations, on behalf of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or by certain officials is not subject to this suspension.

Humiliating for Johnson as he is about to be grilled by MPs....

Jamby said it was fixed!!
As the previous article I linked said the head of Homeland was being briefed when he saw trump sign the think on TV, he wasn't consulted.
The guidance to the heads of department was non existent and they were expected to be ruling on it on the spot. Ill conceived, poorly written, legally dubious at best so 1/10 for his first go.

So who is paying for the cancelled trip?
Wonder how much this little charade has cost the US economy with missed/lost business and cancellations.

Good comment from the Guardian

bothered to look up what Israel's entry policy is in light of all the hoo-ha created by Trump. I found the attached article which is illuminating.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2015/12/10/do-you-know-what-country-has-not-banned-muslims-from-entry-israel/

What moral arguments are left for Trump if Israel has not taken an equivalent stance from within the heat of the fire?

Roflmao

"To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting."

Don't worry The Donald, I'm sure some brave patriotic souls can bypass the libtard MSM and reveal the truth on Twitter.

Isreal is a very good example. Customs there is a long detailed process but they are open to consider anyone. Contrast that to very many Arab countries where if you have an Israeli etry stamp in yoir UK passport you'll be refused entry. Malayasia caused a fuss last year when they denied visas to the Isreali youth windsurfing team who had entered the World Championships. There is an outstanding query about what will happen with the 2022 football World Cup in Qatar if Isreal qualify or if Isreali fans wish to attend.

.... of a state that operates a system of apartheid and regularly flouts international law

I think youll need to come up with a better example of a country that maintains peaceful relations with the muslim world

True Jamby, however that doesnt make Donald right.

It says something when Israeli policy appears to be more level headed than your own.

Civilians indiscriminately killed in drone strikes or indiscriminate travel ban- which will radicalise more people?

Try- civilians indiscriminately killed in drone strikes PLUS indiscriminate travel ban. Obviously the latter will radicalise more (and where it doesn't radicalise, will erode support- which increases the odds of radicalised people achieving their goals.

I think that's the point isn't it. Everyone's cool with killing people in Yemen, but you inconvenience them and the world goes hysterical.

Read it again. Arab countries sentence 1. Sentence 2 a different example, is an Asian Muslim country. Banning youth windsurfers eh ? Where is the international outcry ? Note Gulf countries will stop you entering if you are a Brit with an Isreali stamp in your passport for example if you'd taken a holiday in Eilat.

Yeah, whatabout that?

Or is it not actually whataboutery, but a suggestion that it's good for the US to be more like Arab countries in its foreign relations?

Obviously?

When you kill someone you radicalise their entire extended family and their friends.

There was a classic documentary on the Viet Cong. It struck me that not one of the people interviewed joined for the cause. In every case it was a straight reaction to American Military Attacks.

You really can't overstate how counter productive killing people is.

Well yeah. A handful of Saudi ****wits have directly dictated US foreign policy for the best part of 20 years. It's mental.

Various people have posted it, but luckily we've already established that it's untrue.
