Earlier this year the Trump administration went to great pains to argue that his immigration orders were not travel bans, but rather just a temporary moratorium or pause on travel from these nations with terror problems.
But in this morning’s Twitter rant Trump called it a ‘travel ban’, which of course got the media’s attention, who then asked the administration about it:
Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president, also stressed today that Trump’s tweets were not administration policy.
“It’s not policy, it’s not an executive order. It’s social media,” Gorka told CNN.
But former Trump campaign advisor Barry Bennett doesn’t understand this, telling CNN that whatever Trump says on Twitter should be considered very important. He also doesn’t get why the administration can’t all be singing from the same songbook, saying that what they are doing now is simply unsustainable:
Bennett won’t say whether the problem is Trump’s staff or Trump himself, but he does say if the problem is Trump then they need to find a staffer who can actually rein him in.
Yeah good luck with that. I think we all know that the problem is Trump and I don’t think there is anyone on the planet that can make him stop tweeting.
