America great again? Not with this crew

Posted February 09, 2017 11:01 pm

Donald Trump's executive order banning all people from seven Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States is an example of the incompetent behavior Americans can expect from officials with no knowledge of government.

For 15 years, the U.S. departments of State and Homeland Security have worked at developing screening processes to identify terror suspects and have successfully prevented any from entering the United States. Now Donald Trump ignores the work of two previous administrations and believes he and Steve Bannon, the white nationalist on Trump's White House staff, can review the work of the last 15 years and improve upon it within 90 days.

There will be more ignorant actions taken by Trump, the Washington D.C. outsider which the Electoral College placed in the office of President of the United States. Sophomoric Cabinet appointments like Betsy DeVos, Ben Carson, Rick Perry and Tom Price will increase the flow of uniformed decision making and reduce the chance that "America will be great again."
