- Trump's questioning the legitimacy of a federal judge sitting in a case to which he, Trump, is a party would be a serious failure in simple citizenship if he were a private citizen; but from the mouth (read: Twitter account) of the head of the Executive branch regarding an officer of the co-equal Judicial branch, it's reckless and irresponsible. 
Trump's animus against Islam is counterproductive in at least three ways:
- It harms not only innocent people but also people who risked life and family to help the United States, people who have already passed through a thorough, two-year long vetting process.
- It indicates to the world that the United States sees Islam itself as a (the?) enemy -- something that Presidents Bush and Obama were at great pains to avoid. Trump confirms the darkest view of the United States (as he did when he compared us unfavorably to Putin).
- Most security experts agree that the greatest threat is from home-grown terrorists. Trump is recruiting for them.
