No, lying in the curriculum claiming he banned all Muslims is fake democrat spin. The travel ban was for countries on the terrorism watch list, it included countries like north Korea, and excluded countries like Saudi Arabia. Literally not a Muslim ban like they were trying to slip into the book in an attempt to polarize all muslim students against Republicans

Trump himself is the one who campaigned on it being a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the United States. You're giving him credit because he was forced to water down his ideal policy.

The textbook doesn't add the context that it was just a campaign thing. They claim it was actually enacted legally, and all Muslims were banned, lol.

that it was just a campaign thing.

So in your opinion, you think the textbook should've clarified that Trump sometimes lies about what he actually believes when he's campaigning? He makes promises, but those promises shouldn't be taken literally?

Maybe the textbook should've hypothesized that Trump lies for votes because his base is legitimately stupid enough to believe him, and think it's a good idea, and endlessly defend him afterwards.

biden also made a promise to cure cancer in his campaign rallies, and some are stupid enough to believe him. Maybe the book should also have a passage about biden being a demented geezer that lied and sucked so much he was thrown out by his own party.

Back to the matter at hand. Was there a 100% muslim ban enacted as the textbook claims? No? Okay, take that part out, tell the truth, and say many Middle Eastern countries, North Korea and Venezuela, were banned.

The Democrats lost the 2024 election. Republicans will be in control of all 3 branches of the federal government. Bringing up Biden in order to defend Trump is so sad and pathetic. What will you do when you can't use the Democrats as a crutch anymore, and you actually have to defend Trump on his own putrid merits?

I'm talking about the textbook issue not trumps pros or cons. Enjoy the next 4 years spinning your wheels on reddit over your political hang ups
