Canadian citizens are affected. I find this appalling. This hasn't been thought out or deployed well at all.

"Officials also denied travellers with dual Canadian and Iranian citizenship from boarding planes in Canada that were headed the United States, she said."

Yes, he banned them for 120 days so that his government could alter the visa protocols.

We'll see how long it lasts, but you have to admit, that the way it was implemented showed a total lack of understanding how the system works, and instituting it with no grace period, was bull-headed and frankly stupid.

People are stuck in airports and countries that have a legal right to be in the US. People that can't get back to work, or their homes.

Donald Trump is not fit for office imo. He doesn't have the experience.

Trump struggles to shake his erratic campaign habits
"One person who frequently talks to Trump said aides have to push back privately against his worst impulses in the White House, like the news conference idea, and have to control information that may infuriate him. He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize that."
Trump: I don't need daily briefings

He is like an eight year old kid . How in hell did he managed to run a company?

It was actually six


Yep, Donald Trump's companies have declared bankruptcy...more than four times


Trump has actually filed Chapter 11 six times, four times within two years in the 1990s, once more in 2004 and once more in 2009. But experts told us Trump shouldn’t bear all the responsibility, as Clinton’s wording suggests, as the majority of bankruptcies happened as the overall casino industry struggled


This seemed like a fraud:
He funded the construction of the $1 billion Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J., which opened in 1990, primarily with junk bonds at a whopping 14 percent interest. A year later, the casino was nearly $3 billion in debt, while Trump had racked up nearly $900 million in personal liabilities. So Trump decided to file for Chapter 11 reorganization, according to the New York Times.
