Wasn't his original statement a complete ban on Muslims entering for any reason and not just immigrants? And what does "figure out what's going on" mean anyway?
I'm sure it translates to 'very long time'.
And no, Trump never talked about a permanent Muslim ban. It was always temporary. The media narrative wanted to make it a permanent total Muslim ban, but it was never a question in my mind what he said. So if you heard that, then you fell for the media narrative, and if you're hyperventilating over a 3rd party saying he's going to moderate, then your falling for media tricks again.
Good question.
Supporters of Trump have been later interpreting is as figuring out a way to vet potential muslim immigrants.
Trump, however, has stayed extremly vague..... “figure out what’s going on, so much hate” etc
