That's just splitting hairs. It's bending over backwards a little to make a slight defense of such a policy.
Like someone attempting to shoot you and then saying "hey, look, I'm not all bad, as I actually missed".
No its isn't. It's making clear to the people that celebrate it as a Muslim ban that it is nothing of the sort, whilst pointing out that it is a thinly veiled attempt at one that is poorly thought out, planned and executed. So even the gooseberry fool stuff he does, he does badly.
How can you even deny it? It's as clear as the grass is green!
"Terrible at making signs. So angry I tried anyway." with a load of hashtags and some poorly drawn tiny hands. Also going to have the ACLU donation page on the back
"Make Margaret Atwood Fiction Again" which I completely stole, but is great.
President Trump's actions during his first week in office have appeared to be aimed at the voters who already supported him, not at reaching out to the rest, and that's taken a rapid toll on his support, which was already historically low.
Gallup, which has measured job approval for presidents for decades, shows Trump's approval so far at 45%, with 48% disapproving. That's an average of several days' polling.
The daily trend lines are not kind to the new administration. As of Saturday, 51% of Americans disapproved of Trump's performance.
That's a record for the speed of getting to majority disapproval.
By comparison, President George W. Bush hit majority disapproval six months into his second term, in June 2005, and remained in negative territory for the rest of his tenure.
President Obama did not hit 51% disapproval until August of 2011, during the crisis over the federal debt ceiling that summer. His approval rebounded later that year, but he had a second period of majority disapproval during late 2013 and much of 2014. He ended his term with widespread approval and 37% of Americans disapproving.

I love how Trump is going to spend even more money on the military when it's already running at $600+ billion. They so outclass every other military power (I think you'd need to combine the spending of 9 or 10 other of the top nations to match it) it's just ridiculous. They have more nukes than will ever be required...
Conflicting info from Foreign Office (who confirmed this morning that's Trump Team assured them that UK dual nationalities weren't affected) and the US London Embassy
