Richard Painter: The Six Countries on the New Travel Ban Don’t Have Trump Hotels

EXCERPT:

PAINTER: "The six other countries, however, I notice that all of them are countries where there is no Trump hotel, where the Trump organization doesn’t do business. And then we have countries like Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates where terrorists have come over to the United States from those countries and they’re not on the list. So I’d like to get a lot more information about how this list was put together, other than it being based on where the Trump Organization has their financial interests. And furthermore, a travel ban, a blanket travel ban like this is not really the best way to deal with a terrorist threat. Terrorists come into the United States from all over the world. We need to screen everybody coming into this country much more aggressively, not single out or protect their countries."
