It is a decision i suspect borne of US intelligence agencies concerned about an influx of potential assassins intent upon commemorating the start of his presidency. Just imagine what would've have happened had he given advanced notice the closure to take effect in a couple of weeks' time: there'd be an almighty surge to get in before the gates shut.
Just read a piece in the NY Times about how Trump didn't consult with US security forces about his border controls.
And having read the EO doing so, where he 3 times referrers to 9/11 as a justification, it is surprising that the countries that were the homelands of the 9/11 terrorists are not on the banned list. Until you realise that, unlike the banned countries, they are all ones where Trump has business interests.
Oh, and he's not just banned Muslims, but anybody who holds or has held a passport from one of those countries.
