Good to remember some of these actual events; our popular media are consumed with reporting on fictitious events that get urped up from the GOP id (e.g., practically anything to do with Benghazi, Obama's real birth certificate, etc.).

From the get-go, Trump called for the ban on all Muslims immigrating to (perhaps even visiting from other countries?) the United States, until we (which is to say, he) got some unspecified things figured out. So in one sense, this is just a continuation of his original (we’ll call it a) thought.

But I wonder how Trump’s most fervent supporters will react to the softening of the hard line they fell in love with? How will they handle any taunting (not from us, because we’re good and virtuous and never taunt) from political adversaries that Trump’s gone “establishment” on them? Will they like the suggestion that Trump has been co-opted by the Washington insiders?
