Or Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do for the reason he listed?
Banning temporary citizens from a series of hotbed of Islamic terrorism until they rework their admission criteria is rather logical. Giving priority to Christians, clearly more at risks, makes perfect sense.
... it's a point of order, but saying christians are clearly more at risk in the regions being discussed is just kinda'... wrong. Kinda' substantially, really; that perfect sense is limbaugh-tier sense, that doesn't really hold up very well when tested. The primary, most likely, and most numerous victims of terrorism in the middle east and surrounding regions have been and will continue to be muslims. You might try to argue one non-muslim minority or another is per capita more likely to see trouble, but I'd be a bit surprised if even
that was true, tbh. Whatever various sorts of rhetoric may be, most of the populations at meaningful risk for terrorism in these regions are not christian, or western, or white, or anything along similar lines, it's muslims, and muslim and/or arabic minorities, being targeted for one reason or another by extremist groups.
Turns out insurrection attempts have a habit of being more invested in screwing with local demographics that actually have control of power they care about, instead of foreigners or local minorities that barely exist (in regards to either population, political influence, or both). Still screw with the latter when it's of propaganda related benefit, but... it ain't why most of 'em are there, or what they're primarily there to do, or what's soaking up the highest body count.
... basically, if you're going to prioritize a religious minority for reasons that have little to nothing to do with reality, or apply to a great deal of
other groups you're ignoring, just. Fess up, y'know? Don't try to hide that shit behind a false veil of concern. Not necessarily directed at phm in particular, that, but as a general thing.
