So, there is little terrorist threat and Trump has got it all wrong, but then again it's all a plot by trump to use a terrorist attack to grab almost unprecedented powers.
A bit contradictory.

Trump is either an absolute genius and master of persuasion or a complete loony bin.
Take the most recent comments about 'under reporting of terrorism by the media'. This has prompted the worlds media to publish lists/articles of everything they have ever reported on terrorism - to the tiniest detail because they want to prove Trump is a liar. It's already well established that those who support him don't really care that he's a liar, so all the media have done is reminded everyone of the number of terror attacks there have been over the past few years.
And guess who just happens claim to have a 'good old stars and stripes, 100% America first, it's gonna be great people' plan to stop it all? Mr Donald Trump.
So either he's planned this whole thing and he's a master of persuasion or he actually believes that the press under report this stuff and he's a raving looney. I know which one I'd put my money on........

I don't think that the article says that there is little threat. There is clearly a very real and imminent threat. Just that the main threat does not come from the countries targeted.
Isn't a direct link like the country the attacker was born in a little simplistic though?
If there are some countries in this world whose residents are mainly Muslamic Infidels, banning immigration from those countries will at the very least reduce the spread of the disease in the US. Which, in turn, should reduce the number of people willing to take extreme actions in the name of the paedo prophet.
I'd like to point out that I don't really agree with borders in that sense, and that I see immigration as a good thing. But if you are going to stop immigration, then religion (or at least, likely religion) is probably the best reason to do so.

unless the terrorist attack is faked and this is groundwork, which I still think is massive tin foil hat stuff

The CEO of Under Armor has come out in support of Trump so I urge all of us to not buy any Under Armor gear (including our stuff) and if you have time to email the companies listed by the #grabyourwallet movement (https://grabyourwallet.org). I've lived in the US for 20+ years and what is going on here is scary as f uck. This administration is attempting to roll back life here to the 1950's with Bannon, a racist and MASSIVE anti-Semite at the helm.

When there have been zero attacks from anyone on the Muslim Ban list it begs the question why ban people from these countries. The ban has been celebrated by ISIS as a recruiting tool. In my opinion there is nothing done by the Trump administration that is any good for people who have one iota of compassion and kindness in their bodies. If he can create conditions for a terrorist attack it will allow him to invoke emergency powers and ignore the courts and ride roughshod over our rights.

He's kicking the hornets nest I think (or rather Bannon is by proxy). These bans are more likely to prompt an attack than stop one and that's probably what they want IMO. It's a power grab and they need to legitimise it somehow.

In truth, there is no comparison on left or right when it comes to ignorance. There is no shortage of stupidity no matter what side you're on. However, Globalist Liberal/Leftists are something else.
I think it's all to easily forgotten that there was only a choice between Trump and Clinton. The choice as always, was manipulated. However, I think the best option was to go with Trump rather than four more years of Democrat rule.
The national debt had doubled in the eight years under Obama, from $10,000,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000,000...These numbers are not billions but trillions!
The policy of ever expanding big government to deal with it's own messes had to be stopped in it's tracks.
To much Democrat flimflam, creating their welfare plantations. Telling people that they're not worthy of a future but not to worry, the good old Democrat Party will look after them with the tax monies of the hard working.
Capitol Hill socialising Wall Streets losses, whilst increasing food stamps and other welfare benefits for the poorer people. Aided by the complicity of the main streeeam news outlets and their "expert contributors," keeping the dumbing down of the masses policy running at optimum levels.
The hard working 20's and 30's , are working harder but making no financial improvement in their lives, faced with education debts, living at home with their parents.
Obama's "Change" right?
And what of academia.
A voice speaks out offering a different way, and it's immediately branded racist, anti semitic, islamophobic, homophobic, anti woman and just about any other slur imagined.
The education system has been taken over by cultural marxists hell bent on pushing their agenda, turning their pupils into entitlement cultists.
It's so sad that the current generation of young people were allowed to grow up in a world where the globalist control every word they hear in the schools. They control the music industry. They control Hollywood. They control the mainstream news networks. They control TV. They control the radio. They control the politicians. This is why nearly every college age kid in the UK, USA and in the EU is utterly devoted to furthering the globalist agenda. To see so many kids so utterly and fanatically driven to further the establishment agenda, you'd have to look back all the way to the Hitler Youth to find an accurate parallel.
The only hope for future generations is for us to continue the good fight against Globalism and slowly claw back control of the media outlets and educational establishments so that maybe, just maybe, the 10 year olds of today can grow up in a West free from Leftist political brainwashing.
