When Trump signed an executive order to ban Muslims from seven nations entry into the United States, he created a ripple effect around the world. Chaos ensued, as passengers bound for America were detained around the world. Lawsuits were filed, and eventually a federal judge temporarily halted some sections of the decree.

We have been forced to observe Trump for far too long, and no one should be surprised at Trump’s arrogant and inhumane response.

“Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world — a horrible mess!” Trump tweeted early in the morning. A few hours later, he tweeted: “More Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!”

Once again Trump makes a rash decision based upon imagination and fake news. He ignores facts, and lacks compassion for some of the most desperate people in the world.

The order was signed on Friday, and protests around the world began on Saturday, and more are planned for today.

Sadly, in direct violation of the First Amendment, our nation has become dominated by faux-Christians; religious leaders who are bigoted, judgmental, and fail to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Trump trusts Christians and accepts its misguided belief that it is the only true religion.

Trump makes the fallacious claim that this order is aimed at protecting Americans from Terrorists entering our nation. Two facts, which Trump will deny, and hate, prove that he is once again lying.

Fifteen of the nineteen skyjackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals, but there is no restriction on Saudi Arabia. Trump has business interests in several predominately Muslim nations, but they are not included in his ban.

Trump has become America’s first dictator. He makes horrible decisions, and considers himself infallible. The hypocritical Republican controlled congress refuses to stand up to him. They bow to his every despotic demand.

We, the real American people, are in great danger. Trump is attempting to take away our freedoms and our rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Fight back; there is one illegitimate president, 100 senators, and 435 members in the House. We number approximately 320 million. It’s our country and we must make government work for us. Trump is nothing more than an overpaid, disgruntled employee, who has already failed his performance report.
