The seven nations targeted for new visitation restrictions by President Trump on Friday all have something in common: They are places he does not appear to have any business interests.

The executive order he signed Friday bars all entry for the next 90 days by travelers from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya. Excluded from the lists are several majority-Muslim nations where the Trump Organization is active and which in some cases have also faced troublesome issues with terrorism.

The only business that Islamic nations do is terrorism.
What else do they produce other than hatred?

Top 5 Muslim population countries. Not a single Muslim from these countries is banned from entering the U.S.

This is NOT a #MuslimBan.

ABC is editing speeches to delete Trump’s reference to “March for Life”, WaPo is claiming that stopping Islamic Jihad’s march to middle America is really Trump showing business favorites — these media people are the scum ruining our culture. It is plain as day.

Shut Up Scumbags!

So, if Trump actually had a 5-star hotel in Yemen, the Sudan or Iran, he would have left them off the list?

Bill Maher actually said that lying about the crowd size is worse than any lie Obama ever told.

Even the crazy liberals listening must be scratching their heads at this nonsense.

The left is really grasping for straws.

... and next comes the “oh, you’re absolutely right. I will follow your excellent suggestion and extent travel restrictions to these countries as well.”

Top 10 Muslim population countries. Citizens from only ONE country (Iran) in the top 10 are banned from entering U.S.

NOT a #MuslimBan.

Obama prior restrictions named the countries - Trump used the countries named by Obama. If the wash compost had any journalists they would have discovered this

This is so stupid. No sane American business executive would do business inside any of those countries with the possible exception of Sudan.

Putting a luxury hotel in any of those would create an RPG/bomb magnet.

YES! This point cannot be overstressed. This LIST WAS NAMED NOT BY TRUMP BUT BY FEDERAL ACTIONS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE OBAMA years. Only Syria was specifically named. The countries were indicated because they were the ones enumerated in prior actions from 2015 and 2016. Their names weren't mentioned in the text of Trump's order. His order merely contained a reference to the relevant sections of the prior action.

Decent blog post I found here when Googling for the truth about Trump and his Middle Eastern business interests.

Maybe Trump isn’t so stupid as to do big business in terrorist creating nations...

That is some contrived horseshit, right there...bless yer heart.

I would note the author beats his wife regularly....

Most of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia.

They kill people there for being Christian.

I don’t know why President Trump is allowing them into our country.
