    There was an implication that this was in response to an Egyptian being responsible for the attack in Colorado. No idea if that is true or not. Interesting list of countries banned, however if he is trying to prevent terrorists since neither Egypt nor Saudi Arabia are on that list of banned countries.

    Also, what terrorist ever came from Haiti or Myanmar? These countries seem more like places where life is horrible and people just want to have a chance at a better life somewhere else??

    This list seems as haphazardly decided as the tariffs on penguins shtick. Shocking.

    Seems like a whole lot of Racism in that list.... But the glorious and omnipotent orange skidmark would never do anything that would amount to a racist act.....

    those countries happen to be ones where it would seem to be difficult to vet the people coming over

    They are going to have to figure out how to do that since Iran will be in the World Cup, and Haiti is in the Gold Cup this summer

    good point. Perhaps they will require those countries to field teams that aren't made up of random people. This way they would be known entities.

    I'm pretty sure hosting requires fans from those countries being able to attend, I'm assuming there are already exceptions for players and staff

    I wouldn’t think so. I think main criteria for hosting is money

    Money is made by fans coming and buying tickets, staying in hotels, having sex with hookers, consuming legendary amounts of booze, etc.

    Plenty of fans will be there even if fans from those countries weren’t in attendance
