Based on recent reports, if he wins the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump plans to reinstate his divisive Muslim ban. According to sources, Trump has called the policy “beautiful” and hinted that he might expand the list of countries with a majority of Muslims that are prohibited from entering the United States.The notorious Muslim banAccording to reports, Donald Trump has been obsessed with keeping Muslims from entering the United States for a long time, dating back to his presidential campaign in 2015, when he declared a “complete ban” on Muslim admission into the country. He issued an executive order restricting entry to the United States for a period of 90 days for citizens of seven primarily Muslim countries shortly after taking office in 2017. This strategy sparked chaos and ambiguity at American ports and airports and sparked a diplomatic dispute with Iraq.Federal courts blocked the first edition of the executive order, but the Supreme Court marginally upheld a modified version of the ban in 2018. One of President Bidens first acts after taking office was to revoke this presidential order.Trump has recently discussed wanting to reinstate the travel ban in rallies, but the public hasnt given the idea much thought. Trump has also advocated for further strong anti-immigration policies as part of his prospective 2024 campaign, such as closing the border entirely and expelling illegal immigrants.Stephen Miller, a former top policy advisor in the Trump White House who helped write the first Muslim ban executive order, has advocated for the bans return. Miller tweeted in August, “Reinstate the travel ban now.” He and other Trump supporters criticised the United States reception of Afghan refugees upon the countrys fall to the Taliban in 2021.I will restore our (muslim) travel ban .. we dont want our buildings blown up Trump promises to re-implement controversial Muslim travel ban if reelected.#Trump #Muslim #USA pic.twitter.com/7OYn1QNw6y— Robert Carter (@Bob_cart124) May 3, 2023Trumps presidency bid includes more than just a Muslim ban Trumps objectives for re-election go beyond harsh immigration laws. He has advocated for the reinstatement of firing squads, mass killings, and even fantasising about assaults on journalists in prison. He has also proposed bombing Mexico. During his CPAC speech, he described himself as the peoples “retribution.” Opponents of the Muslim ban have claimed that the legislation is a chaotic and horrible concept that has disturbed the lives of many families and would simply add to the already complex legal immigration process. It is unclear whether Trumps pledge to restore the ban will gain momentum in his presidential candidature in 2024.
