President Trump is poised to sign an executive order that would suspend all entry to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East, according to a draft proposal obtained by Bloomberg News. His proposed list doesn’t include Muslim-majority countries where his Trump Organization has done business or pursued potential deals. Properties include golf courses in the United Arab Emirates and two luxury towers operating in Turkey.
It almost looks reasonable (and remember, it always looks kinda reasonable at first). But what happens if there's an attack on a Trump-branded property? Or something happens in one of the countries that effects one of those properties - for good or ill?
Will Trump change the immigration status of that country? And how do we know the change will be driven by a diligent assessment of US National Interests, and not by Trump's own pocketbook?
None of this is new, of course - Rachel had a segment on it a while back - but it's important to see it as it materializes.
Bloomberg also has a decent snapshot of Trump's Conflicts that gets updated pretty regularly.
