WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning travel from certain countries citing national security concerns.

The proclamation fully restricts and limits the entry of nationals from 12 countries: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

The entry of people from seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela, will be partially restricted, the official said. The travel proclamation was first reported by CBS News.

1. Distraction

He’s gone TACO hiding from the press with the job numbers and Musk fiasco. It seems he is trying to distract by banning people from 12 countries no one is coming here from anyhow. I’m not sure there is much of a demand by anyone to come here at this point other than some Nazis from South Africa.

7. Didn't know US presidents issued proclamations.

8. We might as well turn that big copper lady in New York harbor around so she's facing inward.

And, chisel the words of "The New Colossus" off of her pedestal.

9. But not Russia or North Korea

not that the latter would be much in demand. I'd love to have a travel ban that would make it more difficult for his favorite Russian agents to go back and forth to report to Putin how things are going and get new orders to give Putin's Pet Piggy.

12. The Dotard still thinks he can do a deal with North Korea, so they want to keep the door open for now.

10. Interesting how two of this regime's designated prison countries (Libya and Sudan) are on the list. LOL
