A Germany mp who is the vice chairman of the german-us parliamentary cooperation group is also banned because of an iranien dual citizenship, that he can't revoke 
So why no Afghanistan and Pakistan?
Logically, Afghanistan could've easily been on the list since IS have a foothold there.
Yeah, he's like a Rodney Dangerfield without the sense of humor.
And AQ still have presence in the Af-Pak badlands, and via the Taliban in Afghanistan.
So you agree the list makes no sense.
Yes, I know. I used to work there.
It's not that the list makes no sense. If anything it's incomplete.
And why no Saudis? After 19 of their citizens flew planes into buildings in the US? The mind boggles.
See the past few pages.
Reading reports that they probably will expand the list of countries.
On the subject of potential countries that could be added to the list due to ISIS/AQ presence, what about the Philippines?
Mindanao has a large enclave of Muslim separatists declaring allegiance to ISIS. Abu Sayaf/MILF.
Shipping would grind to a halt going in and out of the US with the amount of Filipinos employed in that business. Cargo/Oil and Cruise.

I wonder if he deliberately misspells his tweets.
I would guess such a list would be more focused on groups who export their activities to the west, as opposed to local insurgencies.
He would've banned Papua New Guinea already, but he probably thinks PNG is an abbreviation for a natural gas company.
If we follow the logic (if it can be called that) of Trump allot of the world would ban and export Americans for terrorising and the continued occupation on their lands
Yeah am only playing catch up. In other news I had a great steak last night. To the steak thread.
It's like something out of Robocop.
Anyone know what happens when you pledge support and press 1? Surely it can't be raising money? Because if so, what for? And wouldn't that be illegal? It doesn't make any sense. (unless I didn't hear the advert properly)
It goes all the way to the top
If only the Muslim countries would take their damn Money out of the US. That will cripple the US economy and show the morons who voted for him how much of a businessman he really is considering he managed to bankrupt himself in the past even though his father gave him wealth. He can add the United States as his most recent business "Success"
The tweet is a bit misleading. It can hardly be a fig leaf for an outright Muslim ban if 9 of the 10 most populous Muslim nations are not on it.
Why 90 days?
I just don't get what such a temporary ban is supposed to achieve, is he just trying to put something out so he can say he fulfilled campaign promises? Or is it a temp measure while they enact harsher border controls?
What it does show is that he doesn't care about the effects anymore, he's won and he'll do whatever he likes

It likely won't achieve anything other than initiate a shitstorm of pushback from the country, as well as from the GOP. This will be the first step towards Trump losing support from Ryan and McConnell. The second will be the Obamacare repeal.
She has far more Twitter followers than Trump, so probably a good thing she's speaking up.
This is worrying.
Id like to think how he treats Palestinians would embarrass you more..but maybe not.
It's a fig leaf for an outright Muslim ban when the bloke who worked on the commision says it is.
Although no doubt Trump's busines interested had a role in exactlty which nations made that list.
They may as well make Bannon the president.
This is actually the most worrisome thing that happened this weekend, which is...rather worrisome...
A lot of what he does strikes me as symbolic, done for the message it puts out rather than a practical purpose in a classical sense. 'The wall', the 'Muslim ban', his twitter activity on sensible issues. Threatening to abandon the One-China policy while simultaneously loosening the ties to its neighbours via cancelation of the TPP process.
Hmm... A comment with the Kardashians? Stop quoting yourself Steve!
Indeed. They tried to bury this announcement knowing the media are focusing on the travel ban and the protests.
Pointless US government officials and lawyers sugarcoating this ban as being state specific. Let's be honest. It's by all accounts a Muslim ban, and ISIS and their ilk will be delighted with the outcome. Those wanting to escape their persecution are being denied an escape route.
Although I don't think Trump is anywhere near the level of Hitler I still laughed
No Trump isnt a megalomaniac nor a demagogue....you keep telling yourself that
