Does Trump have a hidden agenda?

-

When Donald Trump, pictured, won the election I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt about all his pre-election promises and bluster, especially when the general opinion, even from his own country and even his own party, were still so negative.

But what he did with his new immigratio­n policy is inexcusabl­e.

To “keep Americans safe” by closing the borders and excluding over 240 million people from seven different Middle East and African countries but excluding Turkey, the UAE Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which had 19 of its citizens involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and then firing his attorney-general as soon as she questioned his actions, he reverted to his petulant self, the same way he used to when he was on his TV show The Apprentice.

Then again, how can he “keep Americans safe” with his immigratio­n ban when in one city alone, namely Chicago, in a two week period this January there were 43 deaths from shootings.

He completely ignores the gun lobby that voted for him and instead of tightening US gun laws, closes his borders to protect the population. What a joker.

I really start to wonder why! Is he just reckless or incompeten­t or could this possibly be because he has multimilli­ondollar operations in the Arab countries that he excluded?
