Time To Take A Deep Breath About Trump

Ok, so let’s get this out of the way. The temporary travel ban was executed about as well as the Chicago Bears passing game with Jay Cutler under Center.

That being said we can’t just say that everything Trump does is good if we voted for him or say everything he does is bad if we voted for someone else. We need a little intellectual honesty. We need to praise him when he does something good and criticize him when he does something bad. Ben Shapiro has been saying this for some time and he is right.

Now while you were freaking out and being hyperbolic about the Muslim ban that isn’t really a Muslim ban Trump has been negotiating with the Saudis, Emirates, and others in the region to form a coalition and set up safe zones in Syria. What this means is that the refugees will have a place in their own country where they can go and be free from the constant threat of death by way of their civil war. This will eliminate the need for any other country to take in refugees on political asylum and instead we can help settle them in the safe zones so that they can start to rebuild and move on.

Perhaps instead of shrieking that Trump is the second coming of Pol Pot and Adolf Hitler put together we should take a deep breath and take a look at what is really going on. By focusing effort on putting pressure on the administration to clean up the things it is doing poorly we can be more effective than by freaking out every time Trump pours milk on a bowl of cereal.
