Trump Just Botched His Argument For Muslim Ban With A Ruinous Tweet

Donald Trump seized an opportunity to reinforce his Muslim ban in the aftermath of the London Bridge terror attack that claimed seven victims and left 48 hospitalized on Saturday night.

But the ill-advised tweet ended up being a major contradiction that did not go by unnoticed.

With the president's harsh warning, however, he completely reversed the argument that the Muslim ban is not a ban. And the American Civil Liberties Union tweeted back in response to Trump's claim that the Muslim was a ban.

And directed at the Muslim Mayor of London, to boot. Trump is more stupid than people give him credit for. I'm sure someone will point this out at the SCOTUS when they're discussing whether to bother with this case.

How about some kind of sanctions, travel ban or something, directed against the country that supplied 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11? Nah, let's sell them some weapons instead.

The 100 days it would have been in effect have come and gone. By now whatever preparations were to be done during that 100 days must now be complete and ready to deploy, right? Just like ISIS is gone too.

3 heavily Islamic countries. And never mind that Saudi Arabia buys most of its' weapons from the US. And never mind that the terrorists get most of their weapons from Saudi Arabia. And never mind that we literally just handed them $110 billion in "military aid". So we're literally arming the terrorists. Trump is now an arms dealer. But facts are... "FAKE NEWS!!!!".

But Pres. Bannon and his sidekick surely planned to extend it after a terra-ist attack on U.S. soil, which they pray for daily.
