He does, but sometimes it is useful to be on the cautious side of things. Look what's happening all over Europe. They try to be politically correct and let in any Muslim immigrants, precisely because they are so fearful of offending the Muslims. And now they have a new incident of terrorism almost every week and the unchecked immigration is killing their welfare systems. Merkel, who I've always admired as a leader, is struggling to maintain power due to her irresponsible immigration policies. The people are sick of it. Trump is on the opposite side of that. The only issue I have with Trump's Muslim immigration policies is that he's so loud about it. What he should have done is do exactly the same things to ban Muslims from the Middle East from coming here and do extreme vetting of all Muslims coming here, but do it quietly, with no Twitter and no fanfare. That way, it wouldn't have been so offensive to all the liberals in this country, but it would have been effective at keeping bad people out. And btw, for the record, Sharia Law is simply not compatible with Western Values. We can pretend that Muslims share our values, but the very conservative and orthodox Muslims that are coming from the Middle East and who are taught Wahabism, or other conservative sects, and Sharia Law, simply do not share our values and never will. They will never assimilate. The Europeans are learning that the hard way. And what's really silly and stupid of liberals in this country is that Western Values have worked so hard at getting women their rightful place as equals to men in every way, even to the point of having a revolution on sexual harassment recently, but the liberals want to make an unholy alliance with Muslims, who believe women are just cattle and should wear burkas and not drive a car, as well as that women should have their clitoris' removed and should be subservient to men? I find it completely incongruent with liberal values, as well as Western values. So I agree completely with Trump's ban, but I would have done it differently, more like what Obama and Bush did to make it successful.
