A global backlash against U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration curbs gathered strength on Sunday as several countries including long-standing American allies criticised the measures as discriminatory and divisive.

Governments from London and Berlin to Jakarta and Tehran spoke out against Trump’s order to put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the United States and temporarily ban travellers from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries. He said the move would help protect Americans from terrorism.

Along with Syria, the U.S. ban of at least 90 days affects travellers with passports from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, including those with dual nationality that includes one of those countries.

Trump said his order, which indefinitely bans refugees from Syria, was “not a Muslim ban”, though he added he would seek to prioritise Christian refugees fleeing the country. Washington’s Arab allies, including the Gulf states and Egypt, were mostly silent.

1. Trump is quickly succeeding

at becoming the world's most hated man.

Unfortunately, that make us the world's most hated people
until we do something about it.

2. He's turning us into a pariah nation. In a little more than one week.

Miss you TONS, President Obama...

3. Many of these countries

can shut down his hotels in a blink of an eye. That would keep him busy trying to stay in business somewhere other than Russia and the U.S.

4. Anybody working in the tourism industry might as well update their resumes.

No foreign tourists are going to be coming here for quite a while.

6. Remember when President Obama went to Germany and there was a huge rally of admirers?

When chump goes to Germany there will be protests and when he goes to Great Britain they are already gearing up to protest and paralyze London.

What a difference a president makes!!!

Pooty poots puppet is now the most hated man in the world next to Putin.
