Donald Trump signed an executive order banning refugees into the US for 120 days.

Some 57 per cent of US likely voters favour the temporary ban on refugees “until the federal government approves its ability to screen out potential terrorists from coming here”, a phone and online survey by polling company Rasmussen Reports found.

The polling company says 33 per cent are opposed to the ban with 10 per cent undecided.

This can’t be right. The Hill now says Trump’s unfavorable is 51%.

Maybe it’s time for a name change.

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.”

"More Than HALF Of Americans Support Trump's Controversial Border Controls"

It is not "controversial"! Only to a lefty are they controversial. Ever notice how the media always uses words like 'courageous' and 'bold' when describing a lefty, but when they describe a righty they use words like 'controversial' and 'divisive'?

I don’t recall headlines calling ANY of Obama’s policies “CONTROVERSIAL”.

This article says more than 50% support the policy, where is the controversy?

Why is it, that everything President Trump does, is reported by using the adverb “controversial” in the statement?

MSM trying to drive the narrative as usual.

Fakebook is leading the pack with the only "trending" headlines being the latest anti-Trump hashtag (unite the Socialists on social networking sites) and the latest 2 minute hate.

According to Kim Kommando this week more than 50% of the public gets ALL of their news from Fakebook.

The people writing this are the same crowd who do not see anything controversial about 6-year old transvestites or same sex couples adopting or 13 year olds seeking abortions without parental consent or open border policies with nations that are killing the kufir or...

Oh my goodness.

That is tragic.

The really sad part is they think they’re better informed than we are.

By the time news hits FB feed it’s usually at least a day or two old.

Again, this is why Trump won and the Democrats are in such a panic thrashing about wildly for any traction.

Fakebook’s “Trending” column is immediate on anything that the Left has talking points for.

If it is something like Hillary’s emails or some other scandal regarding Democrat corruption or an attack on US civilians by Islamists, it takes 8-15 hours to “trend” in the column (but you can search for news in the search bar and see the trending articles that they aren’t listing as “trends”).

Print newspapers are the place to find 2 day old news on your doorstep.

The only reason I would ever subscribe to an actual newspaper is if I needed it for lasagna gardening or something. :)

One of Fakebook’s “trending” articles (we are talking top 10 in the political column) was from Vice/Thump about some EDMidiot who made a mixtape/list composed of musicians from Trump’s “banned countries” list (which was actually a continuation of Obama’s banned countries list).
