As they say in reality TV, President Donald Trump “didn’t come here to make friends.” But on “The Apprentice,” the reality show on which Trump built much of his brand in the last decade, sloppiness and mismanagement were fireable offenses. With Trump assuming the role of America’s CEO, it may be chaos rather than callousness that threatens to harm his standing with the American voters who are giving him a chance.

The substance of the Friday night executive order that banned travel and immigration from seven “high-threat” nations such as Yemen and Syria should come as little surprise to anyone who believed that President Donald Trump would come to Washington to do the things he said he’d do. Despite high-profile protests at airports and city centers across the country, data suggest a move to tighten restrictions on travel and immigration from certain countries would receive at least modest support from a plurality American voters, and is not something that would come as a surprise to those people who cast ballots for him in November.
