Is Mo Farah Covered by Trump's Order?

The American people should be asking themselves why Trump has banned those entering from the 7 Muslim states listed, while failing to include 3 where he has business interests?

In fact not a single American has been killed on US soil by citizens of any of the Muslim-majority countries affected by Trump's order, between 1975 and 2015, according to the conservative-leaning Cato Institute.

However, 3,000 Americans were killed by citizens of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt in the same time period, many of them during the attacks on 9/11.

Donald Trump has business interests in all three of these countries.

So Donald Trump's ban, as a counter terrorism strategy, doesn't even seem to be looking at the data.

The blatant hypocrisy is laughable.

I see this all over social media, yet no news outlet has mentioned it. I'm curious as to why. This is the definition of conflict of interest. I'd be interested to know if it's not as factual as presented on social media.

If it is true, this alone is grounds for impeachment.

This is punishment for the 3 million illegals that voted in the elections causing him to lose the popular vote. As a strong man alpha president he has to assert himself and show people who's boss and that no slight goes unpunished.

this is the biggest issue I see in all of this.

This article has most of those elements:

A simple solution is to give up one of his citizenships. I'd recommend keeping the UK one.

You are a joke. Green card holders will just get an extra routine screening. So a Somalian with a GC may, unless he has a shady past, spend a few extra seconds at the border control while the clerk types in some letters.

Haha I don't think WeJo is a liberal. Nice try.

You are a liar though. That is confirmed.

The US State Department released a statement saying that ALL visas held by people of those nationalities are revoked temporarily. The DHS also said explicitly that greencard holders are barred.

The federal judge made the ruling that Trump could not have these people DEPORTED once they arrived at airports in the US. Not that they be allowed passage to the states or be exempt from the executive order put upon you by Chairman Trump.

Why do you try to defend clearly bad decisions by a man who is supposed to be working FOR you?

How is Trump helping national security by preventing Iraqi war veteran/translators for the US government who provide invaluable assistance in preventing terror attacks from reentering the country from their holidays? Please explain.

I've got a better solution. Fck the US. Keep his Portland tax money. Move his family back to the UK and let the Yanks get on with their mess.

When Trump kills off all foreign ties he can establish Trump Organization as the company to fill all gov contracts, give manual labour jobs to the deplorables paying them pennies and they will have to be happy about it.

In one week trump will either blame this on Obama or Clinton or claim that he actually never did it.

And his followers will believe him.

Or he will do something even more outrageous to take people's mind off this.

And his supporters will think it's a great idea.

Dear republicans- congratulations on your victory in this election

You are a joke. You are so stupid I am surprised you are able to type.

Couldn't agree more. The ban also bans people from those countries who have green cards (legal ability to work and live in the US). So if you are here you get to stay, if you are out of country you don't get allowed back. So let's pretend the country was Kenya instead of Somalia. Everyone from Kenya living and training here would be good. If you left, you wouldn't be allowed back.

I've read it may be unconstitutional. Who knows how quickly they can sort that out because non-citizens have less rights in court to begin with and if you're out of the country how to you establish jurisdiction in the country to sue?

They implemented it without thinking. Typical of Trump. You cannot even fly via the US to transfer planes. A complete and total clusterf*ck if ever there was one.

Some of this mess could have been avoided if they had just set a date a week in advance when the order went in to effect. That would have allowed people to adjust their plans and for HSA to be prepared. It's crazy that people were already on a plane and found out about the ban when they landed.

"Imaginary nuclear weapons program"....? You must be thinking of Iraq (note the Q at the end, it is important). Iran, on the other hand, had secretly built a uranium enrichment facility (Fordow) under a mountain and surrounded by a massive military installation with centrifuges to enrich uranium past the civilian reactor and medical research levels. At the time of discovery (wasn't disclosed as part of the NPT), it wasn't completed yet and was largely dismantled last year as part of the gloriously bureaucratically named Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. And, yes, Iran is a major source of funding for terrorism in the region, and nobody trusts that they wouldn't distribute fissile material to some crazy person who promised to blow up Israel or Baghdad.

So, yup, sanctions. In the meantime, Iran's population got fed up with their antagonistic leadership (Ahmadinejad) and elected a more moderate president (Rouhani). And, the additional layers of sanctions against Iran that finally led to the JCPOA were ones that specifically restricted travel of their elite class and froze their foreign bank accounts.

FYI - nobody knows what you mean when you say 'liberals'. In most of the world, liberals are the people who want to do away with trade barriers, excessive regulations that constrain business growth, etc. Your American definition, like most Americans, is a bloated and misinformed version.

Another athlete is Milwaukee Buck's rookie center Thon Maker - who has Sudan and Australia dual citizenship.

This is all fake news from the opposition party you call the media. Malik's brother made the list of countries. Trump just did something about it and didn't vote present.

This shouldn't even be a left/right issue. We're going to see a brain drain and losses in production because of this. It's just completely idiotic. It's only been a week and Trump is already a disaster.

Europeans are generally the same race. Brexit applies would at worst apply the same rules to all countries not select them according to country race or religion.
