Yet more American lives are taken by Americans themselves.
Funny you mention Sweden. How many terrorist attacks have they had in the last 30 years? How many casualties?
That's right.

I'll give you 2 to 1 odds on a $10 bet that Apple is donating $2 for every $1 donated by employees! They have done 1 to 1 matched donations before for a number of good causes.
Your cynicism is mind-boggling. There are enough people in the world who deserve criticism without attacking those who are trying their best to make the world a better place.
Wish Timmy would concentrate on his day job instead of being such a white knight

So you and many others here are ok when Obama does something, but hate when Trump does the exact same thing?
Where was the outrage back in 2015 and 2016 when Obama did the exact same thing Trump is doing now?
Lets fact the facts ok. This is not about hating what is happening here. If that was the case there would have been mass protests over Obama's Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015. There was not. This is just a number of people hating Trump because he is Trump and because they hate everyone associated with the Republican party.
Tim Cook is no different. Cook did not complain about the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015. Cook is only complaining because he is a deep Democratic party supporter and does not like Trump.
Also everyone here needs to remember, that without the precedent of the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015 that passed during Obama's time (of which Obama was in favour of), Trump could not do what he is doing now. Obama did the previous groundwork.
I am just sharing the facts here and showing how many people here are just hating on Trump for being Trump and not no the issue at hand.
However if you hated the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015 back then (few people did, most thought it was a success), then ok you're campaigning on the issues here.
This is one of the few times were Obama and Trump are on the same page. About preventing foreign national terrorist attacks on US soil. Both Obama and Trump took the same measures to try and stop it. Obama was praised and Trump hated when the both are doing the exact same thing.
This is pure hypocracy and pure hatred for Trump by Tim Cook and many others. They all don't care about the real issues here. They just hate Trump. Doesn't matter what Trump does, good or bad, is it's done by Trump, these peopel will protest it.
You will of course have the right to disagree, however is not the well being of his employees an important responsibility of his day job?
Please stop this white brown thing this is madness!! It is humans killed humans. And by the way I do not have a white skin and it is not important. White skin people need not to feel guilty for other white's behaviour the same goes for other shades of skin colour.
The Trump ban is temporary until they are sure embassies are not run or infiltrated by terrorists proxies or helpers and this is of paramount importance to keep the country safe and Tim Cook should stay out of it a press release would have suffised
This is no different to Obama's ban in 2015/2016 courtesy of the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015.

That's exactly it. Obama is in their team so when he does something it is glorified but when Trump does it well it's racist. Imagine what would have happened if he banned all muslim countries? Civil war maybe?
There were outrage as well, but not in the same scale. Mainly because it was implemented in a proper way, not in an overnight irrational decision. As well it was not the same thing at all, if you could not use the Visa waiver program, you could still go to the embassy and apply for a visa. The reasoning was that the VWP had no vetting at all.
In the new decision they ignored completely that everyone affected by the ban already had been vetted by thorough interviews before receiving the visa or green cards. I am cynical enough to say that the result of the 90-120 day ban will either end in implementing the exact same procedures as today or extending the ban. If the first option it clearly shows how silly and unnecessary this is, if the latter it is a subtle introduction for a future permanent restriction.
This outrage is totally ridiculous liberal backlash. They might own the media but they are NOT the majority. Keep whining and doing the SJW thing. See how far it gets everybody. Also, where is the liberal outcry when AMERICANS are killed on their own soil???????

Both were implimented in a proper way. Also there was no overnight decisions by Trump. This issue was one of Trump's election promises for 18 months of campaigning. Trump has told the US public over and over again exactly how he would deal with the issue during his election campaign. The people who actually listen to Trump campaign knew months and months ago exactly how Trump would do this. Trump spent a long time planing the implimentation of this.
Trump just chose not to drag out the implimentation of this once elected as President ans sworn in.
There was nothing about Trump act that was sudden or overnight. Trump is just furfilling all of his very detailed and very welle explained to the public election promises one by one.
Both Trump and Obama implimented this in a proper way.
Nobody likes trump. There is no test in this world you could apply to determine what he is.
This means the Terrorist Travel Prevention Act 2015 was also either silly and unnecessary or a subtle introduction for a future permanent restriction. We all know how that played out. Trump is doing nothing different than Obama did back then. Both wanted terrorism stopped on US soil. Both thought restricting visas from people from suspected terrorist countries was the answer. No different.
If you listened to Trump's election campain, he repeatedly told the public that this is not an isolated thing. This is giving time fo rthe intelligence communities to work out a way to better screen the people from those countries who enter the USA so the terrorists don't keep slipping through the net.
At the moment the US is letting them all in and the terrorists get in as well. The net does not catch the few terrorists. Trump is doing exactly what Obama did, stopping a number from getting in so the net can be improved. Once the net is improved then the the visa issue will be restored and the improved net will catch the terrorists before they commit their terrorist attacks.

Well over 55 million that voted for him would disagree with you.
Wow... that's persuasive. Actually, I think that's rather provably false. Maybe you should narrow that hyperbole a tad.
That's what worries me deeply. I was planing a trip to New York in Summer, but knowing that half of the country are nut jobs i cancelled.
no. clearly, when we've seen a number of immigrants and visa holders go a Jihady on folks it's not. time to stop, review and implement a new policy.
people need to relax. nothing is free including our freedom and security. continuing on with a less than secure system and policy makes no sense.
DHS implemented it the day after Trump signed the order. A campaign promise is far away from a pre-advice of how he plan to implement something. The result was that DHS had to issue several corrections to their staff, airlines and other officials how they should implement the order during hours and days.
Yeah. I'm deaf to it. Liberals will NEVER like ANYTHING Trump does. After 20 million jobs are created they will still be in an outrage. We found out this election there are enough reasonable Americans to save us from this liberal insanity. Thank God!
When I say nobody next time imagine just educated, reasonable and moral people with no phobias or sadistic tendencies.
Silly, that's the whole point of the executive order: to ensure we keep the nut jobs out of the US.
Both are possible, but do you really believe that requiring a interview at the embassy is the same as a complete ban?
Nah, that doesn't work either. All you've excluded with that statement are Islamic terrorists.
It's kinda hard to do when the biggest one is sitting in White House.
