Again, all you can do in response to my post, all you can do, is criticize Trump. You can't just say "it's idiotic for others to assume the travel ban was rooted in xenophobia or racism, and idiot can see the benefit of such restrictions in the early days of such an outbreak".

You could also admit that people with larger megaphones than mayor of a dinky town, said what I claimed they said. Would that kill you?
And can you admit that just bc a few people say something and they have the same political leaning doesn't mean that all people of that group believe it.

And I made up the quote of the mayor to illustrate that point.
