Trump Tries Covering His Rear; Accuses Senators McCain and Graham of Wanting to Start World War III
Donald Trump is not having the greatest weekend. The executive order he signed on Friday — suspending the entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred Syrian refugees indefinitely and blocked entry into the United States for 90 days for citizens of seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen — backfired badly.

I have been critical of people engaging in over the top histrionics about the President and his executive order. That said, the President is not above reproach, and the criticism of how it was implemented and rolled out is fair. He’s not going to get much done if he spends most of his time lashing out at his critics.
