Donald Trump set himself up for the Nazi simile. Racists and bigots are a very vocal bunch and Trump got what he asked for: free publicity. Then he dug his heels in on the banning of visa entrance to the USA of a religious group -- there is no mistake in his intent. It's absolutely ludicrous to have a Muslim (or any religious belief) test for a visa applicant from the UK, France or any country.
If Trump was serious about possible visa issues regarding terrorism Trump would have called for a visa moratorium for all countries with allowances made for known persons; diplomats and other vetted exceptions.
This whole matter is a bag of shit -- a tragic publicity stunt that has angered world opinion against the USA. Nothing is gained other than pandering to bigots.
If this is Trump's idea of "Making America Great" he has failed miserably.
