“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.
We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.
This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”

Yes and no. If nothing else, it demonstrated that Trump isn’t playing games and confirms he’s a tough, ruthless SOB when it comes to vetting. Sooo... maybe this worked out for the best. At this point, it’s a done deal.
Someone quipped, "Democrats haven't been this p***ed since we took their slaves away from them."
I’m not so sure adopting their argument is defusing it.
Same here ugghh
Me too. I’m watching the Hallmark channel.
Perfectly stated. I wonder if Stephen Miller had a hand in it.
Doing my Happy Dance!!!
I just read this a few minutes ago.
Twiddle Dee and Dum are always against US and President Trump.
These two losers need to retire.
They’ll always be on the opposite side of what this Country needs,strength through action instead of useless photo ops on talk shows with the media.
Trump is right. Sad that so many ignorant Americans could not sacrifice a few months while we get a better vet process.
Thanks for the post!
Even Canada vets those coming into their country. My understanding is anyone who has a DUI conviction, even misdemeanor cannot get into the country. I may be wrong on that but I thought that's what my friend said when he tried to get into Windsor, Ontario Canada some years back.
It has slowed down now for me, but I suspect they will be back once they get more talking points.
I have had he did this for chaos, he did it to ban muslims, he did it to stop immigration. I could go on and on, but in no way will I shut up to them.
This is all media driven, even right now MSNBC, CNN are covering this all the time even with airports which have 100 protesters, but hundreds of thousands march for life and hardly a mention.
Yep, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, TCM when the movies are old enough, and selected shows on MeTV.

The media will still do their dammdest to misinterpret whatever he says...it’s what they do.
Me too
For those of you on Twitter and Facebook, please plaster these words everywhere!!! Trump is so good at explaining issues that the main stream media won’t share!!
**this is about terror and keeping our country safe.**
Amen!
I watched the ball game on ABC this afternoon. As soon as it was over, they had their lead-in to their national news and the lies they were spewing concerning this, made them look bat-**** crazy. I normally avoid the national lying media but happened to catch the beginning because of the ball game.
The FCC really needs to go after our lying media since it’s all about propaganda for the leftists and the democrat party. Wikileaks has already proved this unholy alliance happens.
I’m so glad we have a President like Donald Trump that will continue to correct their lies. Go Trump!
