It shouldn't be. It's discrimination on the basis of religion. This is a major violation of human rights. If he had kept this to foreigners in general, I wouldn't be able to call him out as easily, but this is just too obvious at this point. Is he even trying to be subtle about this anymore, or does he just not care?

There's already an international shitstorm brewing, since he openly breaks international laws. Apart from several countries already saying that they will extend the same courtesy to US citizens unti the ban is lifted. Seeing as US corporations have business interests in many of the now banned countries, I doubt that Trump will make many friends in the Republican party.

He's not the only one.  A bevy of legal (and constitutional) challenges are being prepared.  The Trumpster is trying to return to his original "fuck mexicans and muslims" message in light of his embarrassing popularity, and in doing so is screwing the pooch entirely.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

When I find myself siding  with the Cato Institute on something  it's dark days indeed
And the as has pointed out elsewhere the countries he has chosen for the ban it's make no sense at all

What was it he said or did in the last ~18 months that made you think he was in any way subtle or gave a fuck? :|

This however could bring him in direct opposition to House Republicans. Iran already said, it would answer in kind and not allow any US citizens in. I guess the other countries on the list will follow suit. So, since Iraq is also on that list, far as I know, this could bring on a pretty delicate situation, since American business interests are directly threatened if Americans can no longer cross certain borders.

He may not give a fuck, but I'm pretty sure, there's a fuck to be given by corporate republicans.

Wow, really??

That's awful.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
