Let’s give him time.

Nearly exact wording by Hussein loyalists in 2009.

One the one hand, it could very easily be an early error that comes from having been in office only two weeks. On the other hand, Trump has been surprisingly collected and firm during both the transition and his first days in office. Maybe it’s a weird kind of genius on Trump’s part. Issue the order as he did…the left goes nuts, and the rest of America continues to get more and more tired of the BS. The media thinks it sees a small opening and fixates on it rather than noticing they’re about to start bleeding out from the revelations about the Congressional Review Act of 1996 and the EO on reducing regulation. THOSE two things combined have the potential to gut a big chunk of their precious welfare state, and what are they talking about? A 90-day hold on travel from a handful of failed states.

French basically says what Neo does, but he goes into more detail on certain aspects. It is definitely worth watching.

It’s a huge pile to climb on top of, after all, and he’s done some amazing, seriously amazing things so far! I, for one, am sitting back with popcorn and beer and enjoying it all Immensely.

Ive long thought Trump being able to articulate what hes doing and why would be better for what he’s trying to do. Forget liberals, I need to know he’s doing the right thing for the right reasons. That makes it easier for the rest of us to defend his positions and not get blindsided by personalities. At this point, forget the left. Neo’s right, its the middle. If what we’re doing makes sense and it is justifiable, the middle will be with us, but it makes that chore so much better if we had someone who didnt act so much like a clown at times.

I know plenty of people in the middle who are not disengaged at all. They are reasonable people who want reasonable policies.

Are they “typical” middle-of-the-road voters? In other words, do they make up the majority of middle-of-the road voters? Perhaps not the majority, but there are plenty of them. And Trump could have gotten a great many of them on his side with this order, but the way he handled it is likely to alienate them. I don’t think the alienation need be permanent, however.

But I can assure you that not all middlers are disengaged. Some pay a lot of attention and they are fed up with both sides, and yet they are not extremists.

But I am not a lawyer and I’m not sure how much more enlightened I would be if I had.

Glenn Reynolds, a law professor whom I respect, seems to consider the EO something of a fumble.

But is it hanging offense? I haven’t seen anything persuasive to that effect. I assume it can be fixed with further explanations and an amended EO.

I don’t like Trump. I think his smarts and delegation powers are overrated. But this EO foofaraw seems way out of bounds.

They (SJWs) may find the political climate on the local and higher level less appealing when it involves free room and board at locations and for durations chosen by others.

When the protests impede the middle man’s ability to earn his living he notices, and the left on middle men notice too as Griffin pointed out. Or are all those meat puppets unpersuadable by dollars and cents?
