I was thinking since they had the Mexican trade/wall chaos last week that they would throw this Muslim ban red meat to their base for some quick "See we are protecting 'Murca." For some reason I can't imagine they thought this blowback would be harsh, fierce, and forceful.
Rinse Penis and Sec Kelly both rolled back the green card part of this. Even Graham and McCain along with some other Pubes came out against them. Letters from Christians/Catholic organizations, the Pope, other world leaders, etc. Trump want to be liked by other leaders. Now they are condemning him.

I hope if any of the nincompoops on the orange ones train travel abroad, they get the same treatment in a foreign country.

That's the end game. Last time, General Smedly Butler stood up to the American Firsters who wanted to make money off American peasants and natural resources.
This time - the internet and instant personalized media compounds the effects. Will we be able to save ourselves from ourselves this time?
