Majority Muslim countries in which Donald Trump, or his family members, have business interests, and those that don't.<Snip> The executive order he signed Friday bars all entry for the next 90 days by travelers from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya. Excluded from the lists are several majority-Muslim nations where the Trump Organization is active and which in some cases have also faced troublesome issues with terrorism.<Snip>
<Snip>Trumps order makes no mention of Turkey, which has faced several terrorist attacks in recent months. On Wednesday, the State Department updated a travel warning for Americans visiting Turkey, noting that an increase in anti-American rhetoric has the potential to inspire independent actors to carry out acts of violence against US citizens.
Trump has licensed his name to two luxury towers in Istanbul. A Turkish company also manufactures a line of Trump-branded home furnishings. Trumps most recent financial disclosure, filed in May when he was a presidential candidate, showed that he had earned as much as $6 million in the previous year from the deals.
I have a little conflict of interest cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul, he said in a December 2015 interview with Breitbart News. More recently, he has insisted that he has no conflicts because laws making conflicts illegal do not apply to the president.

One hopes that as Trump continues to lie, a certain percentage of his followers, or cult members if you will, will realize that he is still the same lying con man that he was as a young man.
