This is a little scary. It suggests Trump’s inner circle believes their own echo chamber.
It was one thing when you’re peddling falsehoods to the masses in order to get them behind you, but when you start believing *invented* terrorist attacks to retroactively justify a ban on visitors from Muslim countries, it shows you have a limited grip on reality. No one believes the reasons Trump gave for the ban.

Further proof the reasons for the ban are bogus: the US did NOT exclude countries that actually had nationals involved in terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and the UAE nationals are still allowed to visit the US, despite the fact nationals from these countries were involved in the 9/11 attacks. So, there is no relationship between the policy and the ostensible reason for the policy.
