Make America Hate Again

It was policy. Then that policy was loosened. The loosening is rather vague and still leaves a lot of room for trouble, so it remains to be seen just what the practical effects are. Now they "will be allowed to board U.S. bound aircraft and will be assessed for exceptions at arrival ports of entry."

I totally agree that focusing on the list itself is silly. It's a good example of why Trump should have divested his business interests prior to taking office, to avoid this kind of questioning of his motives. But it certainly doesn't look like these countries were chosen in any way based on his business holdings.

And this policy is also for 90days.

And then they can issue another executive order that says the same thing for another 120 days... This looks like a textbook example of issuing a controversial and overreaching order, waiting for the push-back, saying "we will fix the issues on a case-by-case basis, trust us", and then waiting for the push-back to drop in intensity. In the end, we are still left with a controversial and overreaching order and the president can decide to not fix the issue as promised.
