Yes @Cleoriff that's what worries me. She was in complete control in public with Trump saying virtually nothing and looking slightly lost. But who knows what goes on in their private chats. It's a wait and see game now.

[Cleoriff]

Just watched them on another news channel. Had to smile at the words of the commentator. "President Trump led Theresa May into the conference. Very much like the ringleader of his own circus"

[Cleoriff]

Oh dear... President Donald Trump has announced new extreme vetting measures to "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the US"..

Yep. And for radical Islamic terrorists read Muslims. Any Muslims and all Muslims. To Trump they're all radical islamic terrorists.

Outrageous policies coming thick and fast. He needs to slow down and seek advice from his Senate because at the moment is hurtling at breakneck speed headlong into disaster.

[Glory1]

I doubt Trump will take advice from Congress. Not sure he takes advice from his advisors though he did say that he took the advice from his new Secretary of Defence on torture, thank God. But he flip flops so much he could change his mind tomorrow.

I wonder if he is issuing these Executive Orders so fast because he is afraid if he slows down something or someone will prevent him from doing what he wants.

Of course, it could just be he's plain crazy. I'm inclined to the latter.

[Cleoriff]

Well he is meeting with Putin next week. Now there's a frightening thought....

[jonsie]

He has certainly torn The US in two and up to now he seems to be on a global mission to do the same.

Well its not exactly countries like Indonesia & Saudi Arabia which also are known hotbeds of radicalism let alone several others. The countries currently singled out have always been on the list of suspect countries and not only in the US as the UK and beyond are quite specific about them. 

Surprised Turkey isn't on the list yet considering Erdogan is threatening to Europe with more refugees if he doesn't get his way. There's a dangerous link between wanting visa free travel in Europe for Turkish citizens and allowing citizenship to refugees which will mask the movement of terrorists as the intention will be corrupted by bribery.

I agree with what you say @sheepdog. But my concern and that of others is that Trump's Executive Order masks his desire to keep all Muslims from entering the US regardless of the country they're coming from.

The man is a racist and is pandering to those that view any follower of Islam as a potential threat.

I remember 9/11. I lost friends in 9/11 so I understand and welcome the need to be vigilant. But there is vigilance and there is racial and religious hatred. Trump with this Executive Order and his trumpeting (pardon the pun) of building a Mexican wall to me tend towards the latter.
