  • I remain convinced Trump is trying to stir shit up deliberately

    so when people protest or are alarmed, his supporters can say - look it's really no big deal, quit being so melodramatic. so that in time, any protest or dissent can be dismissed as drama and ignored?

  • Yeah. The boy who cried 'wolf' and all that. This whole EO plays well to the people who want there to be a ban on Muslims, and the WH is already downplaying the impact by saying how few people were affected out of all the airplane arrivals into the US. This is being set up as a knee jerk overreaction, a rush to conclusions by a hostile media, and it's going to make it easier for Trump/Bannon to delegitimise protest later on.

    Maybe. Dunno. I don't think this is just incompetence, though.
