So, America is now a dictatorship. How is Ms May going to cope with that?

POTUS insists that if they don't confess sites, they'll be denied entry. Doesn't seem to recognize that there would be no way to know.

For years it's been the politically correct rheatoris that insists we should all be accepting of globalisation, how we are all one and if you don't agree with something you a horrible [insert] phobic person who is too ignorant to understand we are all the same and we need to accept other cultures taking precedence over our own so we don't offend others. Now people have revolted through democracy as they have became fed up with their views being ignored and they think they now have a voice and things have swung to the other extreme. Neither position is right

The first position you describe is not true either. Particularly the precedence part.

It's that exact rethoric that it's bad to challenge racist and sexist, etc, views that has led to this.
Racist and sexist views should always be challenged.

Concern is that attempting a measure that is almost impos. to enforce will deepen public anger. POTUS believes people will "love it."

As much as some people may have felt pushed to vote for Trump in desperation, I think many others just aren't that interested in politics, but when asked thought it was safe to take a gamble.

This wasn't 1930's Germany.

Wasn't it Trump who asked (at the time the black community) "what have you got to lose?"

Clearly, the entire Democracy and respect for the Constitution.

In case anyone is interested, a look at six other times the US has banned immigration from certain groups

Notably, German Jews (Roosevelt), and HIV positive (Reagan).

Angry Spice reacting to the chaos from the EO.

Do not watch if you get easily irritated. I barely got through "it was only a small number - a 109 I think - people that were inconvenienced"... I call 17 hours in handcuffs without a solicitor a hell of a lot more than inconvenienced but hey...
