Trump Travel Ban, Miscue or Misdirection
Trump throws a hissy fit over his watered down version of the travel ban being blocked by a federal judge. Trump is either so arrogant that he cannot admit when he is wrong, he is using the travel ban to misdirect the public away from another issue, or both.
I believe truth is a little of each:
- His personal arrogance won't allow him to accept "no" as an answer. He has bullied anyone he has worked with all his life. In his business, if he does not get his way, he throws lawyer after lawyer at the problem in hopes of crushing the other side. He truly believes if you are not with him, you against him. You are against the orange god of manipulation.
- The travel ban is a convenient way of focusing the public attention away from the his great wall folly, and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. It is Nero fiddling while Rome burns. And yes, I know Nero really did not fiddle while Rome burned but you get what I mean anyhow. Actually, the more he presses the travel ban, the more he reinforces the need for the wall among his groupies.
Trump is not stupid. He knows how to manipulate people. This travel ban rouse is part of the magic show. Trump cares no more for the people of this country than their adulation will carry him.
