"Trump repeatedly stated that the point of the ban was to ban Muslims from entering the country."

Do you have a citation for this? I’m no fan of Trump, but that’s not what I remember.

He called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”

Fair enough - this was pre-election but still inexcusable. I didn't think he had explicitly called the 2017 travel ban a ban on Muslims, and I haven't seen anything to suggest he did.
