The quote is

He thereafter began naming all sorts of muslims to whom it would not applied. Do you have any doubt that he intended those exceptions as well?

Because it isn't demoralizing or offensive to populations that don't prefer to deal with problematic immigrant populations. That isn't an irrational preference.

Because it isn't a travel ban, let alone a ban on citizens from those countries. Muslims are mentioned because of their relationship to caliphism.

And also because irish immigration isn't an issue brought to light by the images of syrians surging into europe and HRC signalling open doors for these populations. Yes, part of the irish-american population is a problem. Who wants two of those problems? If you can't place the context of the actual quote, you may misconstrue its meaning.

Since there is a rational basis for opposing caliphism, it isn't a phobia. "Islamophobia" doesn't accurately describe a significant force in american politics. You can cite "hate", but hatred of the intentional murder and maiming of civilians is reasonable.

You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine, it's pretty obvious you voted for Trump, you are extremely defensive of his poor actions, and the poor delivery of his actions thus far, but I'm not judging you for doing so.

You "judged him as a Trump voter", Judged actions as "poor", judged His "defensiveness" as due to your own preconcieved "judgement" of something of which you have no proof or even, outside of your pitifully biased opinions, the slightest amount of evidence.

What was it you did "NOT" judge LMAO?

You are entitled to you own opinion, but not your own facts. DJT's statements are a matter of public record, and description immigration policy with a rational basis as a "phobia" is sophomoric.

In fact, I've voted against DJT more often than you have. The difference between us is, at least in part, knowledge of the topic. That's not a gratuitous person dig; I live in the US and followed the election from before DJT's announcement of his candidacy.

In fact, I'm not. Dispelling your misconceptions about what the man actually said and the substance of the EO is accuracy, not defensiveness.

You have mistaken my clarification for support of the EO itself. I am not at all sure that Iraq belongs on the list of seven, but that doesn't make placing it on the list irrational. People can have policy differences without being "phobic".

Assuming the worst motives of those with whom one has a difference substitutes malicious speculation for knowledge of politics and policy; it serves no good end.

You will now understand that this conveys less generosity than you may have intended.

Oh, brother. (rolling eyes) You guys are STILL at it?

Someone gave some good advice about internet disagreements. You each give 2 "swings" at each other. Done. Drop it. Move on.

The processing for six of the seven named countries wasn't simply routine, but some of the strictest in the world. Reviewing it isn't unreasonable though. Yet seeing how it has been effective to this point, a review doesn't require halting travel from those places.

Travel and immigration are two different things. The EO's 90 day ban on travel has only delayed the process for those seeking to immigrate. For those coming on vacation or to visit American relatives, whose visas were cancelled in it mid-flight, it robbed them of the funds for airfare.

There are effective ways of getting things done, and there are ineffective ways. With the confusion on how to implement this EO, and courts shutting it down on appeal, this was definitely the latter.

I would not be surprised if Trump's tweets are being used against him in the courts.
