Donald Trump is trying to flip the current news cycle.
Trump made some comments about Israel PM Netanyahu that did not go over so well.
So, the master of flipping the news cycle is now proclaiming that if he gets back into office, a travel ban will be instituted immediately.
Protect Our Borders
With Trump’s massive lead, he can afford to take a hit, but he has to stop making missteps like this.
Hitting Netanyahu after a terror attack even had some of his allies pushing back, but Trump is Trump, so he started to create another narrative.
Trump immediately went into how great of a friend to Israel he has always been as well as announcing what he would do to protect the United States against future terror attacks.
Trump stated, “Today I am announcing vital steps I will take to protect our people in my next term. First, upon my inauguration, as I have already said many times before, I will immediately reinstate and expand the wildly successful Trump Travel Ban on entry from terror-plagued countries, territories, and places.
“If you’re coming from somewhere full of people who want to kill Americans, we will not let you in.
“No longer will we allow dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs to get residency in our country.
“If you empathize with Radical Islamic terrorists and extremists, you’re disqualified — if you want to abolish the state of Israel, you’re disqualified —if you support Hamas or the ideology behind Hamas, you’re disqualified —and if you’re a Communist, Marxist, or Fascist, you are disqualified.”
Trump added that he would be sending ICE to pro-jihadist demonstrations with the authority to apprehend and deport anyone supporting terrorist attacks that were in this country and violating immigration laws.
It remains unclear how much of a hit Trump will take from his Netanyahu comments, as there have not been any polls posted as of yet that were taken after he made the comments.
Trump went into recovery mode fairly quickly, so this may wind up being only a small blip on the radar.
