Could he be undermining the DOJ on purpose because he doesn’t want the travel ban enacted after all? Betting that there will eventually be a terrorist attack on US soil and licking his chops at the thought of saying “See? I was right all along!” Knowing he could do this even if the attack came from homegrown radicals who would not have been affected by the travel ban, because many people won’t know the difference? I realize I’m extending him way, way more intellectual credit than his rating allows, so if you think I’m reaching too far for an explanation of this latest Twidiocy, please feel free to tell me. ---

If that was the case, then he probably wouldn’t have revised the original executive order and just appealed its blocking to the Supreme Court. But most importantly, many of the most recent attacks in Europe and the U.S. have been committed by citizens of the respective countries where the attacks took place, and so would not have been prevented from carrying out their attacks by any kind of travel ban covered by the handful of countries listed in the ban (if the various European countries had implemented a travel ban along the lines of Trump’s). So, any future attack in the U.S. is just as likely if not more likely to be carried out by a U.S. citizen or a citizen of a country that is not on the travel ban list, such as Pakistan. ---

Trump isn’t capable of thought manipulation on that level. He is 100% straight from the gut, no cranial activity involved. His attention span is too short to understand plans of that complexity. His aides have to insert his name in their reports every couple of sentences to ensure he’ll read more than the title. ---

> [@ganthet](#): > > If that was the case, then he probably wouldn’t have revised the original executive order and just appealed its blocking to the Supreme Court. Yeah, but HE didn’t do it. A team of lawyers did it. And he’s actively undermining their work with his tweets. Why would he do that if he really wanted it to pass? The lawyers themselves may want it to pass. As far as they’re concerned, their job is to write an executive order that’s constitutional, because that’s what the president ordered them to do. It’s not their motives I’m questioning here. > [@](#): > > But most importantly, many of the most recent attacks in Europe and the U.S. have been committed by citizens of the respective countries where the attacks took place, and so would not have been prevented from carrying out their attacks by any kind of travel ban covered by the handful of countries listed in the ban (if the various European countries had implemented a travel ban along the lines of Trump’s). > > So, any future attack in the U.S. is just as likely if not more likely to be carried out by a U.S. citizen or a citizen of a country that is not on the travel ban list, such as Pakistan.

Jack Goldsmith, Harvard Law professor, has a theory that Trump wants it to fail so that when an attack happens the judiciary will be easy to blame and they’ll put up less resistance to other things Trump wants to do that are of questionable legality. ---

His attention span is too short to understand plans of that complexity. His aides have to insert his name in their reports every couple of sentences to ensure he’ll read more than the title. I don’t consider this high-level manipulation. If this were actually what he was trying to set the country up for, it’d be pathetically transparent. I think this is a stupid person’s idea of a brilliant, ingenious plan. In other words, I wouldn’t put it past him at all. ---

> [@cuauhtemoc](#): > > Yeah, but HE didn’t do it. A team of lawyers did it. And he’s actively undermining their work with his tweets. Why would he do that if he really wanted it to pass? Well, Trump signed the revised EO after previously tweeting that he essentially wasn’t backing down from the original, so he has at least some level of knowledge and cognition of events. And just like his previous racial comments concerning the Mexican-American judge in his Trump University case, his mouth/Twitter isn’t really subject to much of a strategy when it comes to legal matters. Lawyers can try to clean it up or adjust afterwards, but it overall appears unplanned for and very adhoc. > [@](#): > > Did you read the part of my post where I said this?
