Once again, If the protests are so big? I imagine they must be protesting against every nation in the world that follows the same immigration policy!

If not, please explain?

Take a look at all the countries on that list and then explain to me why all nations worldwide adopt the same strategy as USA?

The majority did NOT vote for him. He only got about 27 percent of eligible voters. He has no mandate. He's playacting that he has a mandate that he does not have. We won't let him forget that. 

 Against Islamist extremists. Also against trump's tactics which play directly into the hands of Islamist extremists. trump is a huge GIFT to them and some other U.S. adversaries such as Russia. 

Forward thinking? More like backwards thinking. In trump's case his slogan America First refers backwards to a Lindbergh's American fascist movement. 

Sure, if you're looking forward to the USA degrading into a white supremacist,  authoritarian state, a "great American" start. 

All forward thinking people must appreciate that Mr Trump has done more in the first days of office than any previous president.

All promises being fulfilled.

Why can anyone complain as he is fulfilling all wishes of the American people.

Quite right and anyway Trump is doing a great job as the new POTUS

Too late now....

Yeh, as if Trump is going to be taking any immigration advice from you....

You have enough immigration problems without getting involved in other countries. 

"The bans affects travelers with passports from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen."

If you look at the Visa restrictions index 2016, you will see that all these countries fall into the bottom 8 places of that index, 97 - 104.

As for the people asking why Saudi Arabia is not on Trumps list? It is because they are far higher up the index, at No69.

The US is only following what most other countries worldwide are seeing as the countries with the biggest threats.

Interesting comments.Some are indeed racist and reflect ignorance and others are contradictory. 

The one accusing Sudanese of whatever and they can not fit...they will not change their culture to fit, let me ask you and many of us here, how many if you has abandoned "his" culture and adopted local culture?

As a matter of fact you can find the brits, froggies, Ozies Yanks etc are concentrating and living together in 1 particular area and indeed not scattered and meltinh into the community .Stop being IGNORANT &  HYPOCRITE.?

What area in Thailand is this?

How many Brits/Froggies/Ozies/Yanks are married to Thai nationals? Then tell me how many Muslim immigrants are married to Swedish nationals?

People from UK/France/Australia/USA do not need to give up their respective cultures to adopt Thai culture as all these cultures blend in with Thai culture without problem.

Sure, wear shorts if you want.  Just be aware that a significant portion of the Thai people will look down on you if you do.   Not all of them, but a significant portion of them.  

 

To which a lot of expats (and locals) say, "so what?"

 

But it has nothing to do with anything we, as fellow foreigners, think or believe about who is superior.

 

Edit:  Like simon43, I haven't left my BKK apartment in 6 years without long pants.  Or a collared shirt- but that's my personal quirk.  Except at the beach and the apartment pool.

My Thai boyfriend freaks out with me each time I decide to wear jeans or trousers at night.

He tells me it's too hot & to change into shorts. 

Must admit he's doing exactly what he said he would do if elected.

He must be respected for that. 

Full moon party brings thousands of tourists to Koh Phangan so why not? 

Refugees who can afford iPhones to film this despicable act.

He's certainly not messing about. Doing what he says immediately after entering office.

Very rare for politicians!

Good work Juti.

would like to see more of your kind of people here and now there will be one less of them. 

Saw a CBR300(86k), a R15(73k) & a CBR250(£64k) today at a 2nd hand dealer.

The R15 was clearly the better looking bike even though it was the smallest engined bike & the CBR300 had Repsol paint job.
The Yamaha design is far superior to Honda. Just look at the PCX & then look at the Nmax.

A 12 year old boy was under control. He cannot be arrested.

How can these people be so brutal to innocent children. So sad. 

Nice to see the UN helping.

3500 baht a month is not much but at least it will help pay maybe 50% of his cigarette consumption. 

He has also withdrawn his children from the free school and saved money on the bus fares. The 70 baht saved will pay for another packet of cigs daily. 

He has approached the news to circulate his plight here in Thailand , asking for help to feed his family and to help him send his children to school until they are resettled in the US. 

 
Clearly you could not comprehend Nudge Theory. Perhaps in the future if you did not edit other posters' words to distort their meaning, you may have a better chance of fully comprehending their point.
 
Your timidity is your own affair.

 
You may be too timid to challenge authority but thankfully many are not. They are the ones who will protect our freedoms. Your lot will just acquiesce to any State abrogating power to itself. Mr. Adunbi is clearly a symbol for the former. Those who attempted to deny his rights must be charged, prosecuted and convicted.

 
Can you also see fairies at the bottom of your garden? If so, then perhaps you might want to consider recalibrating your meds.
 
Just two of the reasons why your concept of reverse racism does not exist:
 
Prejudice and racism are not the same thing.
White people are not oppressed
http://www.dailydot.com/via/reverse-racism-doesnt-exist/
 
When you feel the urge to express your white privilege in the future, you may wish to confront your own prejudice against minorities and non conformists first to avoid being shown as a fool, a bigot or someone who just doesn't have a clue.
 
Your projection onto my beliefs is a facile attempt at baiting. You may assume that the current victory of Brexiteering Trumpism allows for public recidivism among racists, bigots and other toads but you are mistaken. Minorities will no longer accept being defined by such people and in many cases laws exist to criminalize such things.
 
Successful baiting requires subtlety. You are way too obvious.

No, that is incorrect.
You campaign during elections.
You protest all other times when you have a political message.
Politics is not only about electing people.
By your incorrect view, the Tea Party didn't accomplish anything politically with their protests and was meaningless.
Think of the anti-trump / anti- Putin style strong man leader for the USA resistance as a new kind of Tea Party. 
trump won the election yes but he LOST the popular vote. He is a minority president trying to ACT like he won a mandate and won in a landslide but the people are going to continue to call him out on that lie.
