You are correct. He said exactly he would impose a Muslim Ban. He has followed through. He did exactly what he said he would do.

What is confusing is his refusal to give people on the ground, charged with following this action, the very tools to aid the process. He failed to include people who were legally vetted. Spicer just agreed that handcuffing a 5 year old was acceptable. What is confusing is a poorly constructed implementation of a plan. He restricted legally vetted participants in our society, some who risked their lives to help our country. Those are facts. He refused to order a court order. His administration find it acceptable that a 5 year old little girl, under no suspicion of a crime, was handcuffed due to this action.

You can love it. I find nothing to even like or respect about the action and the disruption it created.

He is not a politician > looking to Curry favor and I don't see any great signs that he > gives a crap about popularity polls.

I think he cares a great deal about popularity. He doesn't trust the polls or even the masses of the people in the streets. But, while many people have marveled at the masses of Americans exercising their right to speak out and be counted, it's the kind of news that fades. That is, unless the president brings it up.

Pew research reported that voter registration records were in need of fixing. Trump spent countless opportunities screaming, "Fraud!" Yes, there needs to be better communication of state registrars, but even his office-holding supporters don't believe there is no evidence to indicate fraud.

Trump cares DEEPLY about popularity polls and about the number of people who attended his inauguration--he's gone on and on about it! He's a very thin-skinned person who is constantly twittering when anyone disputes him.

What a hoot!

:::quote::: A man who President Donald Trump has promoted as an authority on voter fraud was registered to vote in multiple states during the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press has learned.

Gregg Phillips, whose unsubstantiated claim that the election was marred by 3 million illegal votes was tweeted by the president, was listed on the rolls in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, according to voting records and election officials in those states. He voted only in Alabama in November, records show.

In a post earlier this month, Phillips described "an amazing effort" by volunteers tied to True the Vote, an organization whose board he sits on, who he said found "thousands of duplicate records and registrations of dead people."

Trump has made an issue of people who are registered to vote in more than one state, using it as one of the bedrocks of his overall contention that voter fraud is rampant in the U.S. and that voting by 3 to 5 million immigrants illegally in the country cost him the popular vote in November.

The AP found that Phillips was registered in Alabama and Texas under the name Gregg Allen Phillips, with the identical Social Security number. Mississippi records list him under the name Gregg A. Phillips, and that record includes the final four digits of Phillips' Social Security number, his correct date of birth and a prior address matching one once attached to Gregg Allen Phillips. He has lived in all three states.

At the time of November's presidential election, Phillips' status was "inactive" in Mississippi and suspended in Texas. Officials in both states told the AP that Phillips could have voted, however, by producing identification and updating his address at the polls.

Citing concerns about voters registered in several states, the president last week called for a major investigation into his claim of voter fraud, despite his campaign lawyer's conclusion that the 2016 election was "not tainted."

"When you look at the people that are registered, dead, illegal and two states, and some cases maybe three states, we have a lot to look into," Trump said in an ABC interview.

Reached by telephone Monday, Phillips said he was unaware of his multiple registrations but asked, "Why would I know or care?" :::end quote:::

So, how many people in the Trump inner circle does that make who are registered in multiple states?

I've lost count.

The information you posted brings to light the fact that there is vast opportunity for voter fraud because states do not keep track of who has the legal right to vote. The fact that multiple people in the Trump administration are registered in more than one state is not an indictment of them. iIt suggests that the problem is rampant.
