Firstly, Obama banned many of those same countries, and for longer periods than Trump's 90 day ban (which would have been over by now, btw had we not #RESISTED). Secondly, if you create a ban and nobody Americans are killed...isn't that kinda the point of bans and sanctions? You aren't used to effective leadership are you? Thirdly, only the most blatantly obtuse analysis would overlook the fact that the FUNDING of terror originates in many of the Trump 7 countries, while terror occurs elsewhere in the world by gullible recruits. You are de facto promoting that we prune the tree rather than cut the root of terror.
