Quite, this whole thing is just a populist move, to make it be seen as though something is being done. Sure, Obama started a vetting list, but he didn't just unilaterally decide to shut down travel from seven nations. Nor did he set himself up for a fall from his own judges by such heavy handed actions.
All of this is just pure propaganda for extremist islamic terrorism groups, it's the perfect recruitment tool, and Daesh must be rubbing their hands in glee at it. Of course, the push-back erodes some of that...but the damage has already been done and will take a while to un-do.
Naturally though, the defenders of the Donald will defend this, because party before country, and so on and so forth, yadda yadda, etc, etc.
