Where was the outrage when the Obama administration banned all Iraqi immigrants from entering the country for 6 months in 2011?

A - He "banned" (And it's a stretch to use that word) processing of Iraqi refugee requests for a period of 6 months in 2011. He did not create an executive order banning refugees on top of those with visas, green cards, dual-citizenship and other forms of legal travel documentation.

Any other shitty troll efforts?

Yeah, he went too far. One thing I will say. He's getting shit done. That he said he'd do. Even though I don't like the policies. If Hilary had been elected nothing would have changed and she certainly wouldn't have done anything in the time span he has. I just hope he does the good that he said he would. Like crushing ISIS. Which was armed and funded by our previous president. And bush armed the ones before them. But let's not bring that up, right? Why do people call Trump out but not the other presidents? Trump deserves to be called out on this. But no one called out Bush or Obama for numerous bad things they did.

Well you should know by now that American foreign policy = arming moderates, who later get pissed off because America did something, and they turn against them.

Bush collapsing the Iraqi government and kicking almost everyone out, including an angry military, was the most retarded thing that sped up an already destabilizing region, and thus eventually led to what we have now. Now you could argue him pulling out of Iraq was a bad thing. I'm simply saying going in the first place and handling it like it was, is what mostly got us in this fucked up mess.

I would bet money though that arming the "moderate rebels" in Syria is surely going to ISIS or ISIS affiliated factions, seeing as how they were already shady in the first place. Remember when the war first broke out and for the first two years the media was covering them like freedom fighters?

I even remember CNN doing an interview and they had some prison set up and the guy talking mentioned the one interrogating them was this massively big man who "talked to them" or something like that, when we all know what they were doing. Either way, the reporting in favor of them stopped within the next 6 months or so iirc.

But I heavily digress. If I want to round it all back in

It's mostly because Trump was outright banning people indiscriminately from these 7 countries, even though a lot of them have Visa's and other various means of getting in legally. He overreached with his powers, and the positive thing he DID sign this weekend preventing lobbying for government stuff for the next 5 years if you worked in it, will all be swept under the rug and ignored because he apparently loves the concept of "one step forward, two steps back".
