This was another delusional lie, that Trump was a racist because of a muslim ban. Ignoring that "Muslim" is not a race so it can't be racism, the facts are that the most populous Muslim Countries (like the Philippines) were not included: so it wasn't a Muslim ban. It named a few middle easter countries that were all flagged during the Obama administration as places where we could not vet the people coming in, and their governments were either hostile, corrupt, or non-existent -- and thus not trustworthy to do any responsible vetting. Trump said, moratorium until we could figure out better vetting. That's not racism, that's called common sense. (My Dad is muslim, and in one of those countries. It still makes sense to vet people coming from places where people want to kill you).


2015.12.08 Muslim Ban - After a series of coordinate Paris Terrorist attacks, the San Bernardino attack, and various other islamic extremist attacks, during the campaign, Candidate Trump says we should consider a temporary Muslim ban until our leaders can figure out how to address the crisis. After elected and consulting with lawyers, he does a far more moderate thing. Before doing journalism (interviewing and asking what does he mean), NBC (Tom Brokaw) spun the story with half truths and compared this to various leftist atrocities (without offering that context). Trump's implementation (a couple years later) was just to require extreme vetting from a list of countries that the Obama administration flagged as being unable to effectively vet people from. Oh the horror. The left and FakeNews continue to call this a Muslim ban anyways, not letting truth get in the way of their agenda. more...
