“We don’t want ’em,” Trump said in a video announcing the ban.
But a White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed that Wednesday night’s proclamation “was not a direct response to” the Colorado attack. Trump was always going to implement a travel ban, his advisers say.
The announcement was the latest example of how the Trump administration has dipped into its large reserve of proclamations and executive orders — many of which have been long in the making — to drive its chosen narrative, push the president’s priorities and sometimes change the subject when news coverage focuses on topics that Trump officials prefer to downplay.
