The U.S. under Obama administration helped arming groups like Nusra Front who are an affiliate of Al Qaeda who apply Sharia law who their former leader was Bin Laden who was responsible of the 9/11. I don't think Trump is against Islam or muslims he is against Islamism, its the political agenda and its extremist and sever ideology.
Nope, you're missing the simple fact that most of the hijackers in the 9/11 attacks came from Saudi Arabia, but that country hasn't been banned. Not only that, it's well been documented that authorities from Saudi Arabia are financially funding terrorist groups within Syria, but that country is not on the list. Now why is that?
And let's look at IS for example. How was formed? Not by fundings from the Obama administration, most of IS recruits are banned ex soldiers who once where under command of Saddam Hoessein. After the Americans occupied Iraq, under false claims from the Bush administration, the whole of army was being fired. Send home with no future perspective whatsoever. That's where Is is coming from, until after they formed a group some muslim foreigners joint in there effort to create a Islamic state. Is is using the Islam as an escape goat, a simplistic excuse that should attract new young fighters, especially from Muslim countries close by and from Europe. In reality, most of the IS fighters are simply frustrated ex soldiers from former dictator Hoessein or poor peasants forced to join the group in exchange for their very own life.
All the mess that occurs in Iraq needs a foundation like any mess around the world is based on. And the mess was created by the Bush administration to begin with. If the American's didn't had invaded Iraq and miserably failed in their attempt to import an American puppet in charge then IS wouldn't have been on earth to begin with.
Now, under the false impression to "do something about terrorism" Trump and his lawfully "everything Trump does is good" followers actually think that by closing a few borders on Muslim countries would actually help despite the fact it only creates chaos en devision; exactly what terrorist fighters are aiming for. In fact Trump and his supporters are helping the terrorist, now that's what I call ironic.
You are right Trump should have put Saudi Arabia first on the list I think it's because of U.S. interests like you said but without a doubt things gonna get sour for the dictatorial regime in Saudi Arabia the main sponsor of chaos around the world.
The temporary ban will not stop attacks and surely not by allowing people coming by the thousands without vetting.
Last but not least immigration is not right it is a privilege and as I said to another person this is a temporary measure until things become clearer.
Immigration is not a privilege but a necessary method of moving people on the globe in a time called globalisation. My brother, being a professor, is working in various European countries and I have clients for my business around the world. The whole aspect of having 'real' borders is obsolete and very much outdated. People move around the world, constantly because they are no longer bound due of limitations of transport and by ethical differences. Only narrow minded people believe in protectionism as a source of getting a better economy while in reality it's these countries who have the highest welfare amongst all of their citizens that are working internationally, within a democracy society and with open borders with the exception of very rich oil states.
Terrorist are not the American problem, lack of social welfare, good educational system affordable for 'everyone', freedom of the press, and the lack of a very solid good healthcare are.
One good look on the Freedom Press Index makes it quite clear: https://rsf.org/en/ranking Instead of working on aspects as mentioned above Trump is aiming at the press, stating he's in war with the media.
Seriously, America has chosen a mentally disturbed narcist in power and he has installed people in charge that have no clue what so ever on what they are doing other then blind-fully obeying Trump. He's obsessed with his own popularity, or rather the lack of it, especially world wide, and constantly attacking the media when they provide him with facts. He even believes in alternative facts while any student understands that there is no such thing. I feel pity with most of the American's on which I've many friends. All well educated so needless to say that they are not in favour of Trump.

So WHEN IS Cook going to run for president then? He seems to be concentrating on politics giving his 'opinion' out that nobody asked for... more so then the entire Mac lineup.
Oh I see is he joining in the trendy famous people against Trump movement of late?
Why do you need to run for precedency when you have an opinion?
