What source do you have for this?

I don't agree with Trump's position on granting visas for Muslims. It appears petty and populist. Hope he revokes this position.

Well populist is defined as seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people. There is a simple argument that says the less Muslims the less Muslim terrorists.There is a undeniable logic in that.

A populist claims to represent the interests of ordinary people.History teaches us claims in this regard rarely accord with the outcome reality. Edited by legaleagle (28 Jan 2017 7.02pm)

Edited by legaleagle (28 Jan 2017 7.02pm) Well that is the definition whether you accept it or not. I know everything relates to Nazi Germany in your eyes. I don't necessarily support Trumps stance but I am fascinated to see how it pans out. He favours a confrontational style in a world where perhaps the leading democratic lights of the West has been taking a step back for too long.

BBC News Page headline: "Theresa May fails to condemn Donald Trump on refugees". They might as well have put "Theresa May fails to follow the BBC's left/lib preferences" - and we have to pay a licence fee for this so called 'neutral' reporting.

I expect that she failed to condemn the contents of his fridge* as well. But that doesn't excite the lib/left persuasion. *And that really needs close scrutiny.
