*7 Muslim-majority countries. Trump himself called for a muslim ban.



Does not change fact its not a "Muslim ban"

Surprised so many in here are defending the press making things up...but goes to show how the bias is effective.


Dude campaigned on implementing a Muslim ban, one of his associates explains that the EO was developed after Trump specifically asked for a legal way to do a Muslim ban, and Trump himself has referred to it in his tweets as a Muslim ban.

How much more do you personally feel you'd need to have before you'd be OK with someone using the term "Muslim ban" to refer to it?


It was intended to be an implementation of the Muslim ban that he's previously called for, as Guiliani has admitted (as if it wasn't already obvious).

Also, most MSM articles do not refer to it as a Muslim ban.
