He (along with his supporters) takes this as positive.

I certainly hope this guy sues Trump for every ill-gotten penny he’s ever earned.

So, this guy quite literally put his life on the line in his native country by helping the U.S., and Trump gave him nothing but a big F U in return. Nice.

Dead.
Or, as the W.H. calls it - “inconvenienced”.

When people start dying is one of the main signals you’ve taken your empty posturing quite a bit too far.

TPM! This part of article is not remotely the whole story.

“The Trump administration said that green card holders, who are legal permanent residents, were not meant to be affected by the ban, but a number were detained at U.S. airports or refused entry to the country during the ban’s confused overnight rollout.”

They DID intend this to include green cards (Bannon specifially made sure of this) at the rollout! How do I get the writer’s/editor’s attention on this?

Pulling the ads for the ACA days before the close of the enrollment period likely kept 10,000s of Americans from signing up. How many of these people will die because of undiagnosed or untreated health problems? Trump will have the deaths and heartache of hundreds of Americans and their families on his hands.

Trump may also have made the US a Geneva Convention violator.

“The … refugee convention requires the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds. All signatory states are obligated to do. The German government explained this policy in their call yesterday.”

I suspect sometimes even FOX (albeit local affiliate) can be fake news, depending…

Thats another badge of honor among Deplorables and for him personally.

We all knew that people were going to die because of Trump-Putin’s policies and incompetence. Hager’s mother may be the first, at only 10 days into Trump’s term.

Unfortunately, she’s not likely to be the last.

Hate to pour cold water (that’s a blatant like, I like pouring cold water), but if the man’s mother was so ill that she died the day after being refused passage, it was probably not caused directly by the ban. (There’s nothing in the story suggesting that she was so upset by being barred from the flight that that caused her death, for instance.) She had been taken ill sufficiently while visiting Iraq for her son to want to get her to the US for medical treatment, which he certainly should have been permitted to do. But would she have survived a long and stressful flight, and then got to a US hospital in time to save her life? Possible, but I have to wonder.
