Supreme Court allows full Trump travel ban on six Muslim-majority countries


President Trump has been under extreme heat for anti-Muslim rhetorics that were seen as almost too conservative for the conservative leader. In fact, only a few days ago, the US President was formally condemned by the governmental leader of a foreign country that considers itself an ally to the United States.

Why was he condemned? For re-tweeting three tweet videos from a far-right British group, of which the nation has itself condemned. Theresa May, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, slammed Trump saying the US President was totally out of order for sharing the videos of 'Muslim violence' against Westerners.

One of the videos showed a radical slamming a statue of the Virgin Mary (a major role in the Christian religion). A second showed a video of a flash mob of alleged 'Muslim believers', though clearly radicals, beating up a man and pushing him over a building. The final video, debunked as fake, showed a falsely-accused Islamist beating up a Western teenager who was on crutches due to injuries.

Trump, the US President, re-tweeted the videos from the alt-right group in an attempt to instate fear from Americans upon Muslim believers. Not only in an attempt to fight for his travel ban, that he also did when radical Muslims bombed a mosque in Egypt's Sinai area killing 305 people, but Trump also retweeted the videos to distract Americans from the breaking news situations in the Russian inquiries and investigations.

Trump has just gotten permission by the Supreme Court, for the first time since last summer, to instate his anti-Muslim travel ban. Upon his first attempt within his first few days as President and in his first 100 days, his travel ban was met with some of the most numerous and largest protests in American history. It failed.

Another attempt was in summer of 2017 where some partial sectors of Trump's travel ban went into affect. It was met, once again, with enormous amounts of protests against the President's move seen as anti-Islamic at the highest. However, it took quite a long while before it was blocked by numerous federal judges.

Now, yet another attempt for a travel ban has been issued by the Supreme Court. Officials stated it has been approved, almost entirely, a travel ban from within the US travelling to and between six Muslim-majority nations including Chad, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Iran and Syria.

One major title for controversy has been the fact that Saudi Arabia, the nation of which most of the terrorists involved in 9/11, the deadliest terror attack in American history, came from - was left out of the ban. This travel ban also doesn't include Uzbekistan, where an immigrant from the nation terrorized NYC only weeks ago.

The ban also neglects the nations of Pakistan where one of the San Bernandino attacks came from, as well as Iraq and many other countries involved in terrorism and conspiracy against the US in forms of radicalization.

One convenient tie is that Donald Trump has extreme ties with Saudi Arabia in terms of business. Out of all countries mentioned in the ban, the nation of Saudi Arabia is one of the most relevant in terms of attempting to defend the US from terrorism.
