Yeah, people forget the muslim ban happened before COVID.

People also forget that it wasn’t a Muslim ban. The world’s largest Muslim country was not included in it.

Well, those excluded countries included places where Trump had business interests and longtime allies of the US (Saudi Arabia). https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-trump-immigration-ba...

So it wasn't a Muslim ban then?

Just because it doesn’t target all muslim majority countries doesn’t mean it didn’t target solely muslim majority countries.
