He has been warned, over and over again, by people from the intelligence community, his supporters, and his own advisors, to lay off the Twitter. But he just can't seem to do so. The impulsiveness and lack of judgment and self- control are just astounding. He said in his canmpaign he wanted a Muslim ban. The courts said that was illegal. So then we were told by his advisors that this was not his real intent. He just wanted to ban people from seven potentially high-risk countries which just HAPPENED to be Muslim. But this transparent Band-Aid is off now, irreversibly, just as the case is about to go before the supreme court. Trump just tweeted that this should be called exactly what it is supposed to be: a Muslim ban. He made it very clear he wants the ORIGINAL version, not the "watered down" version that was supposed to make it legal and allow it to get through the courts.

Trump Tweets in Favor of '''Original''' Travel Ban, Not the '''Watered Down Version''' - NBC News

I can just see all his advisors waking up this morning, seeing the tweets, and face-palming themselves. This guy, with his incredible lack of discipline and self-restraint, is not going to get anything done. And that's just a best-case scenario. God help us if he actually DOES get anything done.
 
Well, let's see here....

He still doesn't have a new FBI director and he spent the weekend criticizing London and playing golf. Again.

Que rationalizations by Trump sychophants in 4.....3......2......1....
 
trump doesnt need his travel ban, he has had his 90 days. the guy is a moron.

He also does not have "extreme vetting" (whatever that is) which was the stated reason for needing a "temporary" travel ban. How do you convince the SCOTUS that you needed X for 90 to 120 days do do something (which you never did) 180 (or more) days ago?

I'm not going to agree that Trump is a moron (BTW, what does that make Hillary?) but he certainly had no idea how long it takes to get the federal government to do anything different.

Trump has the self control of a 15 year old boy whose parents are gone for the weekend and he knows how to access the porn channels. The guy is a disgrace the nation and our people.

Good point.

You might be aware that Hillary lost the election so she doesn't matter. Let's try and focus here is trump a moron yeah Trump is a moron he wanted 90 days he's had his 90 days. I would also point out that extreme vetting was put in place under Obama so this Muslim ban that Trump is trying for his just slopping his Hogs

Yep. It probably won't help him much, will it. Maybe he should spend more time golfing.
On the other hand, other than in style his tweets were substantially okay and not far from the way things are. And what he did achieve was that everyone is talking about him.

Of course we are talking about him. He's the president of the US for cryin' out loud! And it would be helpful if he started acting like it. He's a disaster.

The federal government may be slow, but they are not stupid. Having someone come out and insist on doing something that he has been told repeatedly is patently illegal (forget immoral and stupid, that does not compute with him or his followers) is going to be the nail in the coffin of anything he wanted to do. This is just a manifestation of someone with complete lack of any discipline, strategy, tact, judgment, or restraint. And he happens to be our president. God help us.

If he keeps this up, it won't be for much longer.

They invited in the Boston bombers and even let them remain as "refugees" knowing full well that they had voluntarily traveled back to their homeland for a visit. That is well beyond stupid. Why keep thousands on a "terror watch list"? Why allow any immigration from any nation that refuses to accept those back that we elect to deport?

I think Hillary is a sleazy politico. Trump seems to actually be regressing into a rather neurotic and undisciplined childhood.
 
Really wish Trump would stop shooting himself and his admin in their own feet.
Would have a chance of getting more of his agenda, the agenda the electorate voted for, through.
 
I'm still trying to understand that drama ya'll are trying to make of this.

He has discovered that it is impossible to herd congress critters in any particular direction. How is that border wall, massive infrastructure boost, PPACA replacement (renaming?), budgeting and tax reform effort progressing in congress critter land?

What on Earth do sore losers have to do with Trump being a moron. The guy just gave away his travel ban to the Supreme Court in last night's tweet. How do you not get reality? Trying somehow to pretend that I give a rat's ass about Clintons loss is off in the bushes crazy. I never even liked her what you need to get is why Trump keeps shooting himself in the foot again and again and again

The GOP can't seem to get out of their obstructionist "NO!" mindset and actually write legislation. Meanwhile, Trump has turned out to be the can of worms from hell. The distraction the Trump admin. creates certainly don't help facilitate the legislating process.

Trump isn't a "herder" by nature. That task is really more on Ryan, anyway.

I wish they would do some real tax reform that wasn't just boilerplate garbage from right-wing think tanks. Ditch the loopholes and lower rates. The lobbyists would scream as their pet loopholes went away, but the rest of us would be better off.

Electing this guy has made us an international laughingstock. How far we've fallen :(

Extreme vetting. Making sure people who come from countries known for terrorism who don't have a system in place that has info on travelers are vetted through a system we create.
