Your refusal to admit any wrongdoing on trump’a part is a big reason why he’s in charge. People refuse to believe the things he and his mouthpieces have said.
But, I’m done. Keep yelling into the void.
Also, they said non-Muslims weren’t part of their ban.
But hey, what you believe to be true is apparently more important than what trump himself said.
Definitely not a ban – http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/316726-giuliani-trump-asked-me-how-to-do-a-muslim-ban-legally
Totally not a ban – https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/827865957750161408
We’re not banning so much, I’m getting tired of all this not banning.
