And lame article by Rare for not mentioning that, and that Saudi Arabia isn't covered by the ban.

The country with by far the majority of 9-11 terrorists is NOT on the list of banned countries.

This doesn't even go into the fact that according to this WaPo article:


"Saudi nationals make up the second-largest group of foreign fighters in the Islamic State and, by some accounts, the largest in the terrorist group’s Iraqi operations. The kingdom is in a tacit alliance with al-Qaeda in Yemen"

None of the banned countries currently have Trump properties in them. No country with Trump properties (ahem, Saudi Arabia) was on the banned list.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, though.

In my fit of rage, I forgot that not all of them were from Saudi Arabia. But I did know that none of them came from the banned countries. This billboard ticked me off big time.

I corrected the info above.
