With the Muslim Ban, Trump is already at Yellow on his Failure Level

Low/Green AKA Just wait a bit - Trump is tweeting and otherwise being "unpresidented".

Guarded/Blue AKA Inevitable - The "but Hillary...", "but her emails..." phase. Standard deflection, situation may change though.

Elevated/Yellow AKA Complete - Trump now needs an external enemy to keep legitimacy and authority afloat. Immigrants, refugees, Mexicans, Iranians, NATO, critics of Putin.

High/Orange AKA Total - Switch from external enemy to internal enemy to let Trump grasp onto any shred of power he has left. Muslim Americans, people who want to see his tax returns, people who sued him for sexual harassment, etc.

Severe/Red AKA Epic - The worst possible scenario Trump failure-wise. Nuclear war over a tweet. Trump makes a "good and smart business deal" with Putin and he *only* annexes Alaska, a chunk of Canada, and the western seaboard.

So a decree by Trump encapsulates our country from people from these countries? But as far I know, we've stopped nobody with plans, weapons, people on databases, but our government did stop a doctor from coming in... good job.

Make no mistake about it, this served a purpose for Trump legitimacy-wise, we know he doesn't have it, so do his handlers. I also think it is safe to say we are free falling to Red at this point. Start preparing.
