First his inauguration speech was laced with US vs Them speak. He said that "we will eradicate radical islamic terrorism from the face of the earth". A nice sounding sound bite but an impossibility and because of that a dangerous bit of flame bate. Then he added fuel to the fire by repeatedly mentioning how "god is on our side", this is exactly the way islamic extremists see it, as a battle where we will wipe out the other side and God is on 'our' side.
Then you have the fact that he's broadcasted the fact that he doesn't go to regular security briefings.
Now the specific ban on people from Muslim countries.
I can't help but think he is welcoming a major terrorist attack. If one occurs he can further clamp down on democracy. Perhaps institute martial law etc.

a terrorist attack might be counter-productive to their aims at this point.
it would unify us, give us world sympathy, and it might get less insane people in washington to say, ok, enough of this clown show, we need someone competent in the white house now.

(28,270 posts)On February 27, 1933, the German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down due to arson. The government falsely portrayed the fire as part of a Communist effort to overthrow the state.
Using emergency constitutional powers, Adolf Hitlers cabinet had issued a Decree for the Protection of the German People on February 4, 1933. This decree placed constraints on the press and authorized the police to ban political meetings and marches, effectively hindering electoral campaigning. A temporary measure, it was followed by a more dramatic and permanent suspension of civil rights following the February 27 burning of the parliament building.
Though the origins of the fire are still unclear, in a propaganda maneuver, the coalition government (Nazis and the German Nationalist People's Party) blamed the Communists. They exploited the Reichstag fire to secure President von Hindenburgs approval for an emergency decree, the Decree for the Protection of the People and the State of February 28. Popularly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, the regulations suspended the right to assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and other constitutional protections, including all restraints on police investigations.
